Finance Insights & Data Analyst

At Genentech, our Finance Centers of Excellence have led the way in breaking down silos, removing hierarchies, and working in new ways. We've learned from our successes and from the things that haven't gone so well. We're better equipped to look at interfaces and synergies, and to understand the risks of creating new silos. Now is the time to build on those learnings, shifting from a divisional/functional approach to an enterprise approach with an Enterprise Center of Excellence (eCoE).

The Opportunity:

The eCoE will focus on three areas: delivering a high level of financial expertise, innovative insights, and an entrepreneurial mindset that enables agility and flexibility for stakeholders. The eCoE will be a talent engine for Finance through capability building and network building.

There are three focus areas within eCoE:

• Financial Backbone

• Digital Innovation

• Analytics and Insights

While there are three focus areas and clusters, we are not seeking to create silos. We are seeking individuals who embody the Finance Mindset and Behaviors and will support a living organism that leverages the business knowledge and financial expertise of the network to deliver exceptional results for Finance and Roche. Team members will partner with our shared services (RSS), FEPs ,and the Business to deliver many of Finance's core processes and deliverables while also driving process scaling/simplification/harmonization and progressing our digital ambition. Ensuring business continuity is a must.

As a member of eCoE and as the Finance Insights & Data Analyst, you will bring strong business acumen and technical expertise, together with the ability to work in a self-aligning team with minimal hierarchy.

You will work in a dynamic environment and manage many business relationships in PT and across Pharma, such as R&D and Commercial. You will meet the challenge of finding the right balance in an environment with risk and reward trade-offs.

Your enterprise view and linking PT, commercial, and R&D will be a significant success factor for the role that allows you to connect the information received through various channels and analyze the impacts in PT Financials and beyond.

As part of this role, you will monitor the financial results in coordination with the key stakeholders both in the US and outside, especially at our HQ. You will also analyze and communicate the actual and forecast results to the Head of PTD Finance, OneR&D, and the unit Finance teams. You will be a key Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for the Head of PTD Finance, working closely on various matters that impact PT R&D's financial results.

Leading the PT R&D planning process involves helping to develop assumptions and a story, working closely with PT Finance Enterprise Partners, other R&D unit SPOCs, and the eCoE on monthly PTD LT financial communication, MTO, and TO events, to ensure alignment with the overall storyline.

As a subject matter expert on technical accounting and with a good understanding of the PT Digital landscape for reporting, provides Product & Site FEPs guidance on key financial processes, including planning and month-end closes.
