We are DOP. At Roche, we do now what patients need next.

The Opportunity

Are you ready to architect the global digital process landscape and lead the strategic optimization of systems that drive our end-to-end global procurement operations? As our Business Capability Lead (BCL) for Supplier Collaboration, located in Sant Cugat, Spain, you will take strategic and operational ownership over critical segments of the global Demand-to-Pay process landscape. In this high-impact role, you will define process governance, integrate complex interfaces across corporate ecosystems, and serve as a vital change agent to accelerate our technical solutions for supplier collaboration, mainly our iCollab solution, to drive adoption across the enterprise. iCollab is Roche's new platform for supply chain collaboration, providing real-time updates, transparency, and automation with our suppliers.

Reporting Line: Reports directly to our Sourcing Lead and is part of the Procurement Center of Excellence (CoE).

Wider team and stakeholders: Leads a global Business Capability Community formed by SMEs. You will manage cross-functional relationships across the DOP Leadership Team (DPLT), CoE LT, Delivery, Sourcing Teams, RSS Demand to Pay, Global Procurement, and external technology providers.

Role Type: As BCL, you represent DOP's business interests globally in relevant forums and you are responsible for the development and continuous improvement of the supplier collaboration strategy.

Impact: You drive global operational efficiency, process compliance, and large-scale digital adoption. Specifically, you are accountable for:

Process Design & Strategy: Developing and deploying the DOP roadmap for iCollab and other adjoining solutions, in alignment with functional partners like DIA Global Supply Chain and RSS Demand to Pay.

Automation & Innovation: Proactively identifying opportunities for process automation and digitalization in close collaboration with Delivery, Category, Digital & Process Management, and RSS Demand to Pay.

SME Analysis & Governance: Acting as a subject matter expert to analyze, elaborate options, and design solutions that resolve process, system, performance indicator, or data concerns, while supporting data and rule definitions.

Transformation Project Delegation: Serving as a responsible delegate on major corporate initiatives (such as the ASPIRE program; our overarching process and digital transformation) to support global template adoption and evaluate localized change impacts.

Continuous Improvement: Leading continuous improvement initiatives, managing global requirement alignment, and partnering with fellow BCLs and Business Capability Owners (BCOs) to optimize end-to-end cross-functional performance.

Community & ARTS Representation: Leading the Business Capability Community of SMEs and representing DOP in communities and Agile Release Trains (ARTs).

Knowledge Management: Governing the development, structural maintenance, and delivery of global system process documentation and training materials.

Conflict & Exposure: Resolving matrix conflicts regarding competing project priorities or process expectations, while delivering high-frequency monthly or quarterly KPI updates (such as cycle times and compliance) to the CoE LT and DPLT.

Who you are

We look for process-driven champions with an entrepreneurial mindset who can lead collaborative communities and remove friction from digital operations.

Education: University degree with a business or life sciences focus is required; a Master's degree (MBA or equivalent) and professional certifications (such as CIPS) are highly preferred.

Experience: Deep expert knowledge of procurement systems and enterprise architectures (specifically SAP S/4HANA, GEP Smart/GEP Nexxe), coupled with a robust understanding of the broader procurement technology provider landscape.

Process Expertise: Extensive experience in the design, management, and continuous improvement of complex business processes, with distinct experience operating within the Demand-to-Pay landscape.

AI & Digitalization: Advanced knowledge in AI application and a strong affinity to explore AI-driven solutions broadly, particularly regarding the digital transformation of operations (Digital 2.0 / Industry 4.0).

Change & Stakeholder Management: Proven track record of guiding stakeholder groups, managing escalations, navigating communication lines, and leading cross-functional project teams without direct headcount authority.

Mindset & Soft Skills: A self-organized, motivated professional with a solution-oriented "Can-Do" attitude and an end-to-end business perspective. You possess excellent negotiation and conflict resolution skills, acting as a customer-oriented partner who champions an open speak-up and error culture.

Languages: Business-level fluency in English is required; German language skills are a strong asset.
