The Position

The Opportunity

As the APAC Regional Customer Service Centre (RCSC) Lead, you will be the primary architect of Roche Diagnostics’ first-ever centralized customer service operation in the Asia-Pacific region.

• Architect a Digital Future: Build and evolve a centralized Customer Service Centre (CSC) by integrating Generative AI and automation to deliver a seamless, predictive customer experience.

• Drive Strategic Transformation: Transition the region from reactive support to a high-efficiency hub, utilizing data-driven strategies to optimize the "cost to serve" while maximizing value.

• Lead with Vision & Purpose: Act as a Visionary, Architect, Catalyst, and Coach. You will move beyond traditional management to foster a culture of psychological safety, creative thinking, and extreme accountability.

• Master Resource Architecture: Take full accountability for regional budgeting and ROI. You will design intelligent workforce strategies that balance AI-assisted capacity planning with the diverse needs of different markets.

• Catalyze Data-Driven Excellence: Shift the organization from retrospective reporting to predictive analytics, establishing KPIs that measure customer sentiment and systemic resolution quality.

• Bridge the Global-Regional Ecosystem: Serve as a high-influence connector between global product teams and regional stakeholders, ensuring the APAC hub is an integral part of our Global 2030+ strategy.

You are a strategic leader who thrives on ambiguity and is passionate about redefining the intersection of technology and human-centric service. You possess the "courageous authenticity" required to challenge the status quo and build high-trust relationships at all levels.

Your Qualifications:

• Proven Leadership: You bring 15+ years of experience in operations leadership, with at least 10 years specifically leading centralized service environments (e.g., large-scale contact centers or shared service hubs).

• Educational Excellence: You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations, Business, or Biological Sciences. An MBA or advanced degree is highly preferred.

• Digital & Analytical Savvy: You have a strong background in leveraging data and emerging technologies (like AI/automation) to influence business decisions and build future-ready teams.

• Systems Thinking: You are an expert at "connecting the dots" across complex geographies and cross-functional business areas to drive systemic alignment.
