The primary goal of the project is to implement a statistical data management and analysis platform for the Roche Biometrics Department. Throughout this implementation and beyond (into the roll-out phase), we need to ensure stakeholders at all levels are kept informed and engaged through the execution of a holistic communications strategy and detailed plan. Important background information to be considered is that the 1st attempt to implement such a platform (initiated in 2009) was unsuccessful and a large portion of the users are skeptical about the 2nd attempt. In addition, a large part of that same user population would prefer to stay on the current home-grown platform we have in place as opposed to moving to a new one (change resistant). Unfortunately this is not possible due to the fact that the legacy platform has reached the end of it’s lifecycle and we are struggling to support it.
The Project is quite far already in the testing phase and getting ready to roll-out in mid May 2016. Therefore it would be important to have a candidate onboard as soon as possible who could inform the users about the status and to further support the implementation as well as roll-out.

Additional information:
1. The team is composed of both IT and Business folks. The Comms role will largely work with business folks, but also some lead IT people, as well.
2. The studies are clinical studies. Biometrics users work on various clinical studies to analyze and make sense of the clinical data that’s coming in such that clinical scientists can make decisions regarding toxicology, dosage etc. and eventually be prepared to give the green light fr filing a certain study with the authorities- e.g FDA
3. Regarding IT Tolls: It would be great if the person has knowledge of PD Live (this is a communication platform used in Biometrics) or more generally experience managing content on web sites
4. No need for GxP experience for this role
