RVA Lead

A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love. That’s what makes us Roche.

This role is in Early Development Biometrics (EDB), a core function within Product Development Data Sciences (PDD) that provides strategic leadership and scientific rigor across early clinical development at Roche. We partner across Biostatistics, Analytical Data Science, and Data Management to enable data-driven decision-making from first-in-human through proof-of-concept studies.

As trusted partners in early development, we design efficient and innovative clinical trials, apply rigorous statistical methods, and implement high-quality programming and analytical solutions to accelerate timelines, de-risk development, and increase the probability of technical success. Our integrated teams operate with agility and scientific depth, supporting exploratory analyses, early regulatory engagements, and complex data-generation needs across therapeutic areas. Together, we bring scientific rigor, technical innovation, and strategic insight to shape the future of early development and deliver better outcomes for patients. Early Development Biometrics is also home to Methods Collaboration & Outreach (MCO), which enables the most impactful use of quantitative methodology across PDD through internal consultation, external collaboration, and continuous capability building; and Visual Analytics, which creates and maintains interactive dashboards that drive high-quality Medical Data Review (MDR) and safety signal detection, aligned with Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) principles and Critical-to-Quality (CtQ) endpoints.

The Opportunity:

The Real-time Visual Analytics Lead is responsible for driving the strategic direction, delivery excellence, and capability development of the Real-time Visual Analytics function within Early Development Biometrics. This role leads a team of Real-time Visual Analytics Specialists who create and manage interactive, study-level dashboards that enable high-quality Medical Data Review (MDR) and safety signal detection, aligned with Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) principles and Critical to Quality (CtQ) endpoints.

As the Real-time Visual Analytics Lead, you will oversee the portfolio-wide implementation of visualization strategy, ensuring timely, scalable, and scientifically aligned delivery across early-phase studies. You will collaborate closely with biometrics leadership and clinical stakeholders to evolve visualization standards, guide implementation timelines, and optimize internal frameworks and tooling.

You will also be responsible for talent development, process harmonization, and fostering a high-performing team culture focused on user-centered visual analytics, scientific rigor, and operational efficiency. Your leadership ensures that visualizations are not only technically robust but also embedded as a critical component of insight generation in early development.

• You define and lead the visual analytics strategy for early-phase clinical studies, ensuring alignment with Medical Data Review Plans (MDRPs), Critical to Quality (CtQ) endpoints, and Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM) principles

• You oversee the development, standardization, and continuous improvement of data visualization templates, modules, and tools used across early and late development programs

• You ensure timely, high-quality delivery of visual analytics solutions by aligning implementation with key study milestones such as First Patient In, cohort reviews, or safety data review committee meetings

• You collaborate with biometrics and clinical leaders to prioritize visual analytics workstreams based on study complexity, safety considerations, and decision-critical timelines

• You guide the integration of CRF and non-CRF data sources into visualization workflows, ensuring scalability, traceability, and scientific relevance

• You lead the evolution of best practices for visual analytics design, interactivity, user experience, and compliance with Roche standards

• You serve as a key interface for real-time visual analytics in cross-functional forums, contributing to data strategy, digital enablement, and clinical insights generation initiatives

• You monitor industry trends and internal feedback to evaluate and adopt new tools, platforms, or vis
