About Group Audit

Group Audit is an independent function within the Roche Group that provides assurance to the Senior Management and the Board of Directors. We assess the management of risks in the organisation, as well as the governance, efficiency and compliance of business operations for all core Roche businesses (Pharma and Diagnostics).

Group Audit offers significant development opportunities for its members, and group auditors typically make their next career step in business functions close to their expertise.

As a Senior IT Auditor:

As part of our IT audit team, you will be primarily responsible to assess risks, lead and deliver IT audits across multiple disciplines, including:

• IT governance and alignment to business objectives

• Project and programme reviews, incl. organisational transformation

• IT security, infrastructure and networks

• Emerging and disruptive technologies (e.g. AI, RPA, ML, LLM)

• Data privacy, data and information governance

• You will also bring your IT expertise to and participate in audits managed by non-IT audit teams.

• You will partner with stakeholders, including senior leaders of the IT organisation, to develop an understanding of their organisations. You will execute the scope of the above audits, communicate the results and make recommendations.

• You will also be responsible to follow up on issues and actions to ensure they are completed satisfactorily.

• The role is based in Basel, Switzerland. The position involves travel world-wide (approx. 15%).

Main requirements:

• 5-7 years of experience in IT Functions or equivalent.
