The Position
IT Business Analyst - Pharma R&D
The IT Business Analyst possesses in-depth knowledge of the pharma clinical data management business domain and understanding of data engineering & analytics technologies, operating at the intersection of business strategy, data, and technology needs.
In this role, you will apply systems thinking to navigate the complexity of clinical trial data and real-world data (RWD) systems, translating business needs into system requirements, oversee initiatives with full autonomy and lead analysis efforts across highly ambiguous spaces. Acting as a trusted advisor to leadership, you will actively shape long-term roadmaps, drive consensus through persuasive communication, and recommend optimal technology solutions to ensure efficient acquisition and management of clinical trial data.
Who we are:
This team is responsible for delivering software systems for the data acquisition and processing of Roche clinical trial data, serving as the source of truth across Roche Pharma. Foundational systems in this area include Roche’s electronic data capture (EDC) - Medidata Rave, non-CRF systems, and clinical data warehouses.
These systems are critical to drug development, powering clinical data review, safety reporting, operational insights for clinical teams, and support early development activities in the REDs. They provide data to the Analytical Data Science’s ecosystems to standardize and analyze data for regulatory submissions. In addition, standardized clinical data from these systems are essential to integrate with Roche’s specialized data modality platforms including omics, clinical imaging, and digital health technologies.
A key focus in this area will be to leverage emerging AI technologies to optimize clinical data acquisition data pipelines. This includes enriching metadata and building AI-ready datasets to enable autonomous agentic and human-in-the loop AI systems which are transforming the drug development process.

Impact & Strategy: Drives significant impact on projects and programs by ensuring the delivery of high-value solutions that align with business strategy. Leads the evaluation of strategic solution options, including advanced value analysis and risk assessment, and actively shapes long-term roadmaps.
Complexity: Works typically on multiple systems across the sub-function, effectively managing highly ambiguous and evolving requirements. Demonstrates an end-to-end viewpoint to analyze problems, considering how data flows across systems.
