• Leading and managing the assigned projects from the project initiation stage through project closeout, under the direction of a Senior Director / Project Director.

• Ensure project planning and execution deliverables adhere to Engineering Manual (Roche / Genentech project delivery process) requirements, project management processes, Global Standards and Processes, and other Roche Guidelines and Directives.
