We are seeking a dynamic Senior Communications Business Partner who embodies a strategic and collaborative mindset.

• Strategic advisory:
  Act as a core communications strategic adviser and valued Leadership Team member for a designated portfolio within pRED. You will translate business strategy into high-impact communication blueprints that resonate from the lab benches to the leadership community and beyond. You will provide strategic counsel to senior leaders and ensure communications are integrated into the business decision-making process.
• Cross-functional impact:
  Identify the need for, lead and execute both internal and external communication strategies to continue to position pRED and Roche at the forefront of science in healthcare. You will work as part of a Business Partnering team to align across a global network to deliver a unified communications approach.
• Culture and change catalyst: pRED is a highly dynamic and innovative part of our Roche Pharma business that requires communications to match its needs. You will lead communications initiatives around organisational transformation and development, as well as behavioral and culture evolution across different parts of the pRED network.
