The Position The Role You will own the full lifecycle of Roche's digital analytics and GenAI applications, from identifying user problems through discovery, prototyping, launch, and continuous improvement.

What You Will Do

- Define and prioritize: Own the product vision, roadmap, and backlog for your apps. Make trade-off decisions between features, technical debt, and new AI capabilities.
- Build with your squad: Work daily with engineers, data scientists, ML and GenAI engineers, and UX/UI designers as a hands-on decision partner. Shape solution design, including how LLMs, RAG, and agentic features are used in the user experience.
- Ship and iterate: Manage releases, test with users, and improve the product in short cycles. Own the production roadmap for the app.
- Measure and grow: Define product metrics (adoption, retention, task completion, time saved) and use them to guide decisions. Report results to business leaders.
- Drive adoption: Build onboarding, in-app guidance, training materials, and feedback channels so users adopt the product and keep using it.
- Partner on governance: Work with data platform, IT, security, and compliance teams to ensure the product meets security, privacy, and regulatory requirements. You own the decisions, and these teams advise on constraints.
- Stay current: Track emerging AI tools and patterns and bring practical ones into the product. Have a clear Build / Buy strategy with the current emerging capabilities
What You Bring
- 8+ years of experience building digital products, with at least 3 years as the accountable owner of a live application used by real users.
- Proven end-to-end product ownership: you have taken ideas from concept through to launch and ongoing operation.
- Working knowledge of how software is built and delivered (web or mobile apps, APIs, cloud, agile delivery). You can have credible technical conversations without needing to write code.
- Experience using data and analytics to make product decisions, including product analytics tools and A/B testing.
- Hands-on understanding of AI and GenAI capabilities (LLMs, prompt design, RAG, semantic search) and their practical limits.
- Track record of user-centered design and research.
- Strong communication skills for both engineers and executives.
- Advanced degree in a quantitative, technical, or product field, or equivalent experience.
Nice to Have

Questions about this listing
What salary does Roche offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Basel is CHF 62'000 - 94'000 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by Roche. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Roche offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Roche during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Basel?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Basel's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Basel's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
