Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections, where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.
The Position
Architect the Logistics Core of Global Pharma Innovation
At Roche, our supply chain directly impacts clinical trials, breakthrough therapies, and commercial medicines reaching patients around the globe. Behind every delivery is an advanced, highly integrated logistics engine. This position will support the Logistics Application Landscape at our global headquarters in Basel, which supports logistics processes across Pharma Manufacturing, R&D, and Clinical Supply Operations.
We are looking for an experienced Solution Architect (SAP EWM / TM) to steer the design, cross-modular integration, and ongoing evolution of our core logistics platform. This is not a standard out-of-the-box configuration role: You will own the architectural integrity of a sophisticated, custom-engineered landscape based on SAP where deep-dive problem-solving, architectural vision, and continuous technical curiosity are essential.
Operating within an agile product team, you will translate complex end-to-end supply chain demands into resilient, scalable system changes while collaborating closely with technical teams, product squads, and business leaders.
What You Will Do
Architect & Deliver High-Impact Solutions: Lead the technical design, configuration, and implementation of enhancements across our SAP EWM & TM landscape.
Bridge Strategy & Technical Delivery: Partner with product owners, business stakeholders, and other IT functions to implement business requirements, assess feasibility, design enhancements, and provide product-level technical governance.
Ensure Quality in a Regulated Environment: Champion compliance, computer system validation (CSV), and change management within a validated GxP environment, maintaining the highest standards for patient safety.
Elevate Technical Capability: Act as the subject matter expert within your product squad, take responsibility for complex technical changes, and establish design best practices.
On-Site Collaboration: Travel to Switzerland (Basel HQ) as needed for key design workshops, strategic alignment sessions, and operational go-lives.
Who You Are
Must-Haves:
Deep Hands-on EWM and/ or TM Expertise: Proven experience designing and implementing complex enhancements and architectures across both SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and/ or SAP Transportation Management (TM), including their integration points.
Experience with Highly Customized Landscapes: Proven comfort investigating, unraveling, and designing within non-standard, custom-built enterprise environments without being reliant solely on vanilla SAP patterns.
Agile Leadership & Ambiguity Tolerance: Ability to make decisive, well-reasoned technical decisions within agile frameworks (e.g., SAFe/Scrum) and effectively communicate trade-offs between business needs and technical debt.
Communication & Fluency: Professional working proficiency in English (written and verbal)
Life Sciences / GxP Background: Direct experience with computer system validation (CSV) and regulatory change control in pharmaceutical or biotech logistics.
Nice-to-Haves:
Modern SAP Architecture & Framework Literacy: Solid architectural understanding and working familiarity with BOPF (Business Object Processing Framework), asynchronous communication (bgRFC), and core SAP integration interfaces.
Technical Development Depth: Hands-on ability to read, debug, and evaluate ABAP / ABAP Objects code.
Domain Knowledge: End-to-end supply chain domain expertise spanning clinical supply networks, cold chain, or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing logistics.
German Language: Professional working proficiency or fluency in German.
Why Join Us?
Pivotal Enterprise Scale: Architect the logistics backbone of Roche’s global headquarters, touching mission-critical pipelines from clinical and R&D through to patient delivery.
Intellectually Challenging Problem Space: Work on high-performance architecture that goes far beyond routine standard setups, solving unique logistics challenges that require true engineering ingenuity.
High-Autonomy Agile Culture: Have a direct voice in product decisions within an organization that values continuous learning, technical mastery, and long-term impact.
