Beschreibung

As a first-tier supplier to our renowned business partner Roche Diagnostics in Rotkreuz, we are currently looking for a motivated and dedicated Global Project Manager for a temporary assignment of 12 months, with high probability of extension.

As part of the Project Management Chapter, the Global Project Manager plays a key role in optimized product delivery, accountable for all project management aspects of various projects from simple to complex. The role takes the project/product from the original concept through completion by developing and directing detailed work plans, schedules, project estimates, spending, resource plans, and status reports. As a trusted advisor, the Global Project Manager translates and drives projects into products and enables the organization to use energy and time effectively and efficiently while quickly responding to changing business needs across the portfolio.

For these two open positions, the company is looking for candidates with an academic degree (at least a Bachelor-s) in a technical or natural sciences field. Depending on the role, specific expertise is required in one of two distinct areas:

Position 1 (Assay Development): Proven experience in Assay Development with a strong background in Software Engineering

Position 2 (Lab Automation): Demonstrated experience in Lab Automation within Biochemistry and Chemistry

Both profiles require a minimum of 3 to 5 years of hands-on project management experience (up to 15 years is welcome). Candidates must bring solid expertise in both Waterfall and Agile (SAFe / Hybrid) environments. Proficiency with standard project management tools (such as Azure DevOps, Monday.com, or Planisware) and fluent English language skills (written and spoken) are required; German is a plus. Well-organized candidates with strong organizational skills and excellent stakeholder communication will be ideal for this role.
