As trusted analytical partners in end-to-end drug development, Biostatistics leverages data to drive scientifically rigorous programmatic decisions across Roche’s Development portfolio; Biostatistics designs robust trials and analysis plans that increase the probability of technical success, accelerating timelines to advance Roche’s clinical pipeline and promote regulatory success — ultimately bringing medicines to our patients faster.

Provide functional guidance, scientific leadership, and informal mentoring to less experienced statisticians within a matrix organization.

Who you are:
