Job description

Strategic R&D Laboratory Planning Lead

The Roche Genentech Innovation Center Boston will serve as Roche's Cardiovascular, Renal, and Metabolism (CVRM) hub, establishing a significant end-to-end R&D presence in CVRM. It will also support some of Roche's and Genentech's efforts in AI and data science to accelerate drug discovery and development. The laboratories will be equipped for advanced research to further strengthen the long-standing partnership in areas such as disease biology, engineering, and artificial intelligence / machine learning.

As the Strategic R&D Laboratory Planning Lead for this large-scale infrastructure project, you will act as the primary and critical interface between the future user community (scientists, researchers) and the project execution team (Engineering, Architecture, Operations). Reporting into the CVM, Discovery Head, this is a highly visible role. The core responsibilities will be to ensure that the needs of the end-users are accurately captured, translated, and implemented in the new facility. You will be the central owner of the User Requirement Specifications (URS) for all laboratory and R&D spaces, ensuring the final build is fully functional, aligns with future-forward Ways of Working (WoW), and ultimately enables increased R&D productivity.

The Opportunity

User Requirement Specification (URS) Management :

  • You will lead the definition, consolidation, and documentation of all User Requirements (URS) for laboratory, technical, and associated R&D spaces.
  • You will act as the single point of accountability for the URS, holding final responsibility for its content and alignment with business goals.
  • You will make and communicate binding user-side decisions within the framework of the approved URS.

Stakeholder Management & Liaison :

  • You will serve as the primary contact for the project management team, external planners, and architects regarding all user-specific functional, processual, and technical requirements.
  • You will lead and coordinate the assigned network of user representatives and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from the various scientific departments.
  • You will act as a key "multiplier" and communicator into the user organization, supporting change management and ensuring stakeholder alignment.
  • You will represent a holistic, cross-departmental user perspective, prioritizing the project's strategic goals over individual departmental preferences.
  • Design, Planning & Quality Assurance :

  • You will actively participate in and influence the development of the facility concept, design, and layout to ensure it supports future scientific processes and innovative Ways of Working.
  • You will thoroughly review and approve planning, execution, and qualification documents (e.g., layout drawings, bidding documents) to ensure the correct implementation of user requirements.
  • You will provide proactive input to the project team to resolve conflicts and develop user-centric solutions.
  • Execution, Procurement & Handover :

  • You will act as the main user lead in the selection of key vendors for user-specific packages (e.g., lab furniture, specialized lab equipment), ensuring the selected solutions meet all functional, design, and URS expectations.
  • You will review and confirm the completion of critical project milestones (e.g., Mechanical Completion) from a user perspective.
  • You will review "as-built" documentation to ensure it accurately reflects the final state.
  • You will support and coordinate the final acceptance, commissioning, and handover of the completed laboratory areas to the user organization.
  • Who You Are : (Required)

  • You have a Bachelor's in a relevant scientific (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy) or technical (e.g., Engineering, Architecture) field with 5 or more years of relevant experience; or a Masters in a relevant scientific (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy) or technical (e.g., Engineering, Architecture) field with 3 or more years of relevant experience.
  • You have 2 or more years of demonstrated experience working within an R&D laboratory environment, with a deep understanding of scientific workflows and processes.
  • You have demonstrated experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or a related GxP-regulated industry; you have exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between highly technical scientific and engineering teams.
  • You have demonstrated leadership and coordination skills, with the ability to drive decisions and build consensus among a diverse group of experts.
  • You have the ability to travel approximately 20% of the time.
  • Preferred :

  • You have experience with modern lab design concepts and "Future Ways of Working" (e.g., open labs, collaborative spaces).
  • You have knowledge of building codes, EHS regulations, and GxP requirements for pharmaceutical laboratories.
  • You have professional proficiency in German.
  • You have prior experience in large-scale capital (CapEx) or infrastructure projects, ideally acting in a user-facing, coordination, or project management role.
  • This position is based onsite in Greater Boston (Allston) MA, USA. Relocation benefits are being offered for this position. The expected salary range for this position based on the primary location of Boston, MA is $129,750 - $241,250. Actual pay will be determined based on experience, qualifications, geographic location, and other job-related factors permitted by law.
