Project:
For our customer Roche Diagnostics International AG based in Rotkreuz we are looking for an International Product Manager (m/f/d).

Background:
As an International Product Manager for Core Lab, your role will be to manage the entire lifecycle of products within the Cardiometabolic portfolio, with a key focus on supporting Roche's collaboration with pharmaceutical companies to ensure that patients have access to the diagnostic tools necessary to provide an accurate and timely diagnosis. This position is a unique opportunity to work at the crossroads of the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries.
You will lead product development from concept to market, ensuring timely execution, market access, and customer satisfaction. A critical aspect of this role will be driving commercialization and engagement directly with regions and prioritized affiliates from pharma partners. You will be responsible for being a catalyst to enable local collaborations, meeting goals to initiate or increase utilization of the specific test of interest.
You will be responsible for collaborating closely with cross-functional teams across Roche, including Clinical Development, Medical Affairs, Global Market Insights, Regulatory Affairs, and Sales, to ensure successful product launches and sustained market adoption. You will also play a vital role in supporting market development initiatives with pharma partners, focusing on accelerating product adoption, evidence generation, and market access strategies.
Your role will directly contribute to Roche's vision of transforming cardiovascular risk management by driving innovation in biomarker discovery, validation, and clinical integration. By working alongside collaborating pharmaceutical partners, you will ensure that our diagnostic solutions play a critical role in enhancing precision medicine and improving patient outcomes worldwide.

The perfect candidate is someone with experience in an affiliate setting-whether in medical, marketing, or sales-who has worked with our cardiology portfolio and engaged with cardiologists, hospitals, or labs. Ideally, this person would come from one of our preferred talent pipelines, such as those who have been involved with our team through EDO projects.
Beyond their technical expertise, we're looking for someone who can adapt quickly to new projects, be a leader in a high-performing team, and navigate the complexities of cross-functional collaboration, including handling challenging interpersonal dynamics.
Lastly, a deep knowledge of cardiology is essential, as this role requires expertise in identifying pipeline biomarkers and working with top cardiology clinical trialists to deliver cutting edge biomarkers.

Tasks & Responsibilities:
• Pharma Partner Collaboration: Build and nurture strong partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to accelerate biomarker discovery, validation, and clinical integration for Cardiometabolic solutions together with the International Business Leader, PHCS Partnering Team, Project Management and Project Leadership functions.
• Lifecycle Management with Pharma Focus: Lead the product lifecycle, from early development through to market launch, supporting biomarker development and clinical validation efforts. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth market entry, and alignment with pharma development timelines.
• Market Development & Commercialization: Collaborate with pharma partners to create integrated strategies for market access, awareness, and adoption.
• Responsible for market development activities, including coordination of resources for health economics models, educational programs, and advocacy efforts to ensure product positioning in the global market.
• Regional Engagement & Local Collaboration: Work directly with prioritized affiliates and Regions to enable local collaborations that initiate or increase the utilization of specific diagnostic tests. Serve as a key enabler for successful commercialization in those markets, driving product adoption and leveraging strategic local partnerships to meet goals of the partnership.
• Support Pharma's Market Entry & Scale-Up: Ensure comprehensive market readiness for product launches. Coordination activities with supporting functions like Medical Affairs to enable evidence generation and strategic partnerships. Work with pharma partners to implement successful strategies to drive adoption at scale.
• Post-Launch Support & Product Evolution: Manage post-launch activities for on-market products, focusing on product updates, issue resolution, and ongoing customer support. Collaborate with global marketing, sales, and other teams to evolve product offerings based on ongoing market feedback and strategic goals.
• Cross-Functional Team Leadership: Lead and influence cross-functional teams across Roche to ensure alignment and successful product outcomes. Drive collaboration between R&D, clinical, regulatory, CDMA, GA&P and Regional / Affiliate commercial teams to achieve product objectives.
