We are loo­king for a Tech­ni­cal Wri­ter / Pro­cess Docu­men­ta­ti­on Spe­cia­list (m/f/d)

About the Role

We are loo­king for an expe­ri­en­ced docu­men­ta­ti­on pro­fes­sio­nal to sup­port a stra­te­gi­cal­ly important Data & Digi­tal envi­ron­ment in Basel. In this role, you will trans­form com­plex ope­ra­tio­nal work­flows into clear, struc­tu­red, and sus­tainable docu­men­ta­ti­on that impro­ves trans­pa­ren­cy, con­sis­ten­cy, and accoun­ta­bi­li­ty across the orga­ni­sa­ti­on.

You will work clo­se­ly with stake­hol­ders across ope­ra­ti­ons, port­fo­lio manage­ment, finan­ce, pro­cu­re­ment, lear­ning & deve­lo­p­ment, and ven­dor manage­ment. Your main objec­ti­ve will be to build and main­tain a relia­ble docu­men­ta­ti­on land­scape that ser­ves as a cen­tral point of refe­rence for inter­nal pro­ces­ses, roles, and stan­dards.

This posi­ti­on is ide­al for someone who enjoys brin­ging struc­tu­re to com­ple­xi­ty, crea­ting cla­ri­ty across cross-func­tion­al teams, and deve­lo­ping docu­men­ta­ti­on that is both prac­ti­cal and sca­lable.

Back­ground

As part of the con­tin­ued deve­lo­p­ment of a cross-func­tion­al Com­pu­ta­tio­nal Sci­en­ces envi­ron­ment, exis­ting manu­al and frag­men­ted ways of working are being con­so­li­da­ted into a more stan­dar­di­sed and sca­lable ope­ra­ting model. To sup­port this tran­si­ti­on, high-qua­li­ty pro­cess docu­men­ta­ti­on is nee­ded to ensu­re ali­gnment, impro­ve trans­pa­ren­cy, and estab­lish a depen­da­ble sin­gle source of truth across the orga­ni­sa­ti­on.

Key Respon­si­bi­li­ties

• Cap­tu­re, ana­ly­se, and docu­ment end-to-end ope­ra­tio­nal pro­ces­ses across mul­ti­ple func­tion­al are­as
• Trans­la­te com­plex work­flows into clear, user-fri­end­ly, and well-struc­tu­red docu­men­ta­ti­on

• Crea­te and main­tain pro­cess gui­des, poli­cy con­tent, and ope­ra­tio­nal docu­men­ta­ti­on within the exis­ting Roche eco­sys­tem
• Sup­port the deve­lo­p­ment of a con­sis­tent and sus­tainable docu­men­ta­ti­on frame­work
• Ensu­re docu­men­ta­ti­on remains cur­rent, relia­ble, and ali­gned with evol­ving ope­ra­tio­nal stan­dards
• Con­tri­bu­te to the crea­ti­on of a cen­tral poli­cy and pro­cess repo­si­to­ry that impro­ves acces­si­bi­li­ty and gover­nan­ce

Depen­ding on prio­ri­ties, docu­men­ta­ti­on acti­vi­ties may cover topics such as:

• Port­fo­lio manage­ment and ope­ra­tio­nal pro­ces­ses

• Con­tract, pro­cu­re­ment, and licen­sing work­flows

• Around 3–5 years of expe­ri­ence in Tech­ni­cal Wri­ting, pro­cess docu­men­ta­ti­on, or struc­tu­red busi­ness docu­men­ta­ti­on
• Expe­ri­ence in a health­ca­re, life sci­en­ces, soft­ware engi­nee­ring, or simi­lar­ly com­plex envi­ron­ment is high­ly advan­ta­ge­ous
• Strong abili­ty to trans­la­te com­plex ope­ra­tio­nal or manu­al pro­ces­ses into clear, actionable docu­men­ta­ti­on
• Fami­lia­ri­ty with docu­men­ta­ti­on-as-code prin­ci­ples, inclu­ding Mark­down, Git, Git­Hub, Git­Lab, or simi­lar tools
• Strong atten­ti­on to detail and the abili­ty to struc­tu­re com­plex work­flows in a logi­cal and modu­lar way
• Abili­ty to under­stand stra­te­gic ope­ra­tio­nal con­cepts and con­vert them into prac­ti­cal docu­men­ta­ti­on assets

• Strong working know­ledge of Goog­le Workspace and col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve docu­men­ta­ti­on prac­ti­ces
• Flu­ent Eng­lish is essen­ti­al

What We Are Loo­king For

We are see­king someone who com­bi­nes strong wri­ting and struc­tu­ring skills with a pro­cess-ori­en­ted mind­set. The ide­al can­di­da­te is able to work across mul­ti­ple topics at the same time, com­mu­ni­ca­te effec­tively with dif­fe­rent stake­hol­ders, and build docu­men­ta­ti­on that crea­tes real ope­ra­tio­nal value rather than sim­ply recor­ding infor­ma­ti­on.

This role requi­res someone who can think both stra­te­gi­cal­ly and prac­ti­cal­ly — someone who under­stands how docu­men­ta­ti­on can sup­port con­sis­ten­cy, gover­nan­ce, adop­ti­on, and long-term ope­ra­tio­nal effi­ci­en­cy.
