Full description

At Roche you can show up as yourself, embraced for the unique qualities you bring. Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections, where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.

The Position At Roche, we strive to deliver more benefits to our patients as part of our 10-year Pharma vision. An integral part of achieving this vision is to unlock the power of data across Pharma Technical Operations (PT). To do so, we have formed the Digital Data Backbone Chapter , a centralised global engine designed to establish a compliant, trusted, high-quality data foundation. The organisation consists of six specialised departments comprising approximately 100 FTEs: Data Governance, Data Acceleration, Data Solutions, Data Validation, IT/OT & Architecture, and Cybersecurity.

We are looking for a highly organised, analytical, and structured intern to join us for a 12-month journey as a PMO & Technical Coordination/ Operations & Change Enabler Intern . In this role, you will report directly to the Head of Operations for the Digital Data Backbone Chapter. Your focus will be the engine room of our rollout—tracking milestones across global production sites, managing data-driven performance metrics, and orchestrating operational logs to keep our complex network running on time.

The Opportunity

• Orchestrate PMO Timelines: Track global rollout wave timelines, update readiness checklists, and flag schedule risks for prioritised sites across the network.
• Govern the Risk & Issue Backlogs: Maintain and organise operational issue logs, tracking data quality and data integrity risks from site execution into consolidated global backlogs.
• Build KPI & Metric Dashboards: Support the collection, tracking, and visualisation of execution and adoption KPIs (e.g., bootcamp metrics, completion lists, and milestone adherence).
• Structure Framework Artefacts: Help maintain and continuously improve the Chapter Playbook, tracking changes to QMS document structures, data catalogues, and training repositories.
• Bridge Business and Tech/Data: Collaborate with specialists in Architecture, Cloud Solutions, and Security to help align technical delivery targets with operational business readiness.
• Enable a Global Network Model: Support the Head of Operations in setting up and facilitating the rhythm of business, alignment sessions, and leadership touchpoints across the 6 core departments.
• Shape the Communications Strategy: Create, tailor, and distribute communication packages (e.g., info packs, knowledge snippets, and briefing decks) aimed at Site Leadership, local core teams, and technical SMEs.
• Support Role Transitions: Assist in creating alignment and targeted messaging for legacy roles (such as Data Integrity structures) as they naturally transition and enrich into the new Data Governance framework.
• Capture Lessons Learned: Collaborate with central and local teams to capture feedback, identify organisational friction points, and refine change management outputs between rollout waves.
• Foster Data Culture: Support central awareness formats to activate a data citizenship mindset, helping translate complex data frameworks into user-friendly organisational knowledge.
