Global Study Lead (Core Lab, Cardiovascular & Metabolic Diseases) in Burgess Hill

At Roche Diagnostics Solutions (RDS), our mission is clear: to diagnose earlier, develop faster, and personalise treatment because every patient is unique. Our Clinical Development & Medical Affairs (CDMA) team drives innovation to improve healthcare outcomes globally.

We see ourselves and our customers as a team that can only reach its full potential together. By listening closely to patients and physicians, and leveraging digitalisation and new technologies, we get closer to their real-world needs. This collaborative spirit creates an environment where ideas can grow and new ways of doing things can be tried - resulting in competitive products that get to patients faster.

Our work spans the entire product lifecycle, from discovery to post-launch. By collaborating with internal teams, external partners, and patients, the CDMA chapter provides crucial medical insights, designs and executes clinical studies, and offers on-market support. Ultimately, we generate the comprehensive clinical evidence that demonstrates product safety, effectiveness, and scientific validity - facilitating smooth product registration, adoption and reimbursement globally so we can save lives and improve patient quality of life.
