ERP Test Manager (ASPIRE)

At Roche, we offer a hybrid work model that combines flexibility with in-person collaboration. For now, we require our employees to be in our offices on average two days per week. The specific office days may vary depending on business needs, such as workshops, conferences, town halls, team meetings, and other collaborative events.

This role is based in the global ASPIRE program, where you will act as the strategic architect and operational guardian of our testing methodology. You will drive continuous quality evolution across enterprise ERP systems while ensuring full compliance in a highly regulated life sciences environment. This position offers a unique opportunity to lead critical testing strategy, mentor quality teams, and safeguard global releases that directly support healthcare innovations.

The Opportunity

• Scope / (Content Leadership): Provides expert-level leadership and strategic guidance for high-impact and/or complex quality assurance projects. Develops and implements Quality Engineering best practices across multiple initiatives, ensuring consistency, test traceability, liaising with the GBPOs and alignment with enterprise standards. Leads quality analysis efforts on significant projects, provides guidance to less experienced Quality Engineers, and contributes to strategic initiatives. Provides oversight, advisory, and quality assurance across strategic initiatives, ensuring testing purpose and scope alignment, test cohesion, traceability, and ultimate product value
• Custodianship & Content Creation: Own the master version of the ASPIRE Test Methodology. Ensure every process update is "pre-validated" by aligning with CSV and Quality teams before rollout. Author high-quality technical documentation, including SOPs, Work Instructions, and User Guides
• Accountability / Problem Solving: Leads the analysis of complex and strategic software quality problems, defining the quality assurance scope and driving comprehensive root cause analysis for critical defects that may span organizational boundaries. Elicits and analyzes complex stakeholder quality needs with expertise, influencing business stakeholders to inform and make the right decisions regarding product quality and release readiness. Defines strategic testing solution scope, manages complexity, and drives consensus on quality standards and release criteria through persuasive communication. Recommends optimal quality assurance technologies and tools for business transformation, providing highly innovative solutions to unusually complex quality challenges

Track real-time testing metrics, defect burn-down rates, and resource allocation to ensure deadlines are met. Author and present comprehensive Test Summary Reports (TSR) for stakeholders, providing a clear verdict on quality and go-live readiness
• Audit Defense & Compliance: Act as the lead SME for Testing during internal and external quality audits. Ensure that the "paper trail" (or digital equivalent) for all testing activities is robust enough to withstand deep-dive scrutiny. Ensure the GBPOs are aware of scope & ensure their timely Test Plan approvals
• Continuous Improvement & Innovation: Proactively audit the current ASPIRE lifecycle to identify "friction points" or missing controls where the methodology fails to meet project or regulatory needs. Design, pilot, and deploy new testing workflows, templates, and frameworks to close identified gaps. Evaluate the effectiveness of current SOPs and Work Instructions, streamlining them to remove unnecessary "red tape" while maintaining 100% compliance
• Leadership & Guidance: Direct and mentor a small support team to assist with reporting, SolMan Updates. Ensure that both large-scale programs and smaller projects follow the overall test strategy. Formally manage the lifecycle of deviations, ensuring any departure from the ASPIRE methodology is risk-assessed, documented, and defensible. Act as a consultant for project teams to help them navigate complex testing requirements without sacrificing speed

Who You Are

• Regulated Environment & Compliance Experience: Extensive experience working within regulated environments (Life Sciences, Pharma, or Medical Devices) with deep operational knowledge of GxP, Computer System Validation (CSV), and a proven track record of managing and defending testing processes during internal corporate quality audits and external regulatory inspections (e.g., FDA, EMA) (Required)
• QA Leadership & Strategy: Extensive experience providing expert-level leadership and strategic guidance for high-impact software quality assurance projects, managing teams of quality engineers, establishing quality standards, and successfully driving continuous improvement in testing strategies (Required)

• Systems Thinking & Problem Solving: Expertise in recommending optimal quality assurance technologies and tools for business transformation, with an advanced ability to apply systems thinking and expert-level analytical reasoning to identify systemic quality issues, future risks, and strategic improvement opportunities (Required)
• Stakeholder Management & Negotiation: Strong reputation as a trusted advisor with exceptional communication, negotiation, and matrix-management skills, demonstrated ability to navigate complex stakeholder networks, manage conflicts, drive executive consensus on quality standards, and challenge project deployment timelines when quality is at risk (Required)
