Data Modeling Expert

Roche • South San Francisco, CA

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

Advances in AI, data, and computational sciences are transforming drug discovery and development. Roche’s Research and Early Development organisations at Genentech (gRED) and Pharma (pRED) have demonstrated how these technologies accelerate R&D, leveraging data and novel computational models to drive impact. Seamless data sharing and access to models across gRED and pRED are essential to maximising these opportunities. The new computational sciences Center of Excellence (CoE) is a strategic, unified group whose goal is to harness this transformative power of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist our scientists in both pRED and gRED to deliver more innovative and transformative medicines for patients worldwide. Within the CoE organisation, the Data and Digital Catalyst organisation drives the modernisation of our computational and data ecosystems and integration of digital technologies across Research and Early Development to enable our stakeholders, power data-driven science and accelerate decision-making. Join the newly formed Computational Sciences Center of Excellence (CoE) as a Data Modeling Expert, a key role within our Data Connectivity team. You will serve as a key contributor in the data modeling, semantics, ontologies, and standards space, ensuring our data are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), high-quality, and trustable; enabling scientists, computational tools, and AI algorithms from across our Research and Early Development (REDs) organizations to effectively leverage and utilize these data assets.

Requirements

• Master's degree or higher in a scientific or technical field
• 5+ years of experience in Data Governance, Data Standards, Data Modeling, Ontology Development, or related fields.
• Proficient in one or more critical relevant scientific or data domains, and are able to provide leadership to initiatives based on that knowledge.
• Exceptional communicator with strong networking capabilities, able to build relationships and lead effectively in a matrixed organization.
• Experience working within a Research & Development organization and have a deep understanding of its processes and data handling activities.

Responsibilities

• Act as a key subject matter expert on data modeling, ontologies, semantics, and standards efforts, interfacing closely with business/scientific stakeholders and informatics/engineering colleagues.
• Translate complex scientific requirements from various parts of R&D into clear draft data models that can be leveraged by the wider FAIR data modeling team.
• Independently contribute to and on occasion drive the development of data models and standards and/or information architecture solutions potentially leading function-level efforts related to FAIR data processes relating to data modeling, standards development and/or information architecture.
• Independently contribute to and on occasion drive strategies that ensure pan-RED Roche data is ready for AI/ML (AI data readiness), potentially leading tactical efforts around AI/data policies in partnership with other colleagues in the broader team.
• Independently contributes to and on occasion drive efforts that enable data quality tracking, potentially leading strategies that allow us to track and measure data quality (e.g. tracking how well annotated xRED data is).
• Foster a OneRoche data-centric mindset within the team, advocating for data standards, governance, and FAIR principles.
• Contribute to the development, implementation and improvement of Data Governance strategies as it relates to data standards.
