The Opportunity

We are seeking a Commercial Contract Analyst to join our Roche Service Solution (RSS) team in San Jose, Costa Rica. This is a unique opportunity to directly support Genentech’s US-based Channel & Contract Management (CCM) division by managing the complex lifecycle of contract operations and delivering on commitments to managed care customers. As a member of the Contract Strategy Implementation (CSI) team, you will manage end-to-end contract operations for various US customers, including healthcare providers, pharmacies, wholesalers, payers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and government accounts.

This involves a broad range of responsibilities—from assessing the operational feasibility of contracting strategies and setting up contracts to managing memberships, administering customer payments, and processing chargebacks.

Collaborate regularly with business partners, cross-functional stakeholders, and customers through meetings, initiatives, and strategic projects, bringing strong customer orientation, adaptability, and a continuous improvement mindset. Provide key insights and recommendations during the development of contracting, pricing, and distribution strategies, representing the department on strategy, account core, and product launch teams.

Translate contract terms into operational solutions that fulfill access and financial obligations, assess the operational feasibility of proposed strategies, and develop solutions aligned with strategic objectives. Draft, evaluate, and refine contract language as needed; set up and maintain detailed contract information in systems; research and validate customer information for program or pricing eligibility. Use systems and tools to calculate, validate, and process customer payments; communicate contract/program details to internal and external stakeholders; develop training on contracting, distribution, obligations, procedures, systems, rebates/discounts, and eligibility; and establish performance metrics and ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and Genentech policies.

Who you are

Bachelor’s degree with 2+ years’ experience in commercial functions within pharmaceutical/biotechnology, managed care, or related industries; preferred 4–6 years in managed care and/or government contract operations, contract administration, or financial analysis in pharma/biotech or related industries. Proven ability to work in complex, customer-focused environments with tight and frequent deadlines, demonstrating excellent organization, attention to detail, strategic thinking, analytical capability, and solutions-driven problem solving.

Strong collaboration and communication skills, including the ability to build cross-team partnerships, influence stakeholders effectively in writing and verbally, work with remote US-based stakeholders, and demonstrate curiosity, active listening, openness, inclusion, and a continuous improvement mindset. Solid expertise with Microsoft applications (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and Google Suite, with knowledge of systems and reporting tools that support contract operations preferred.

Familiarity with US healthcare contracting is preferred, including managed care, the healthcare industry, and government programs such as 340B, FSS, Medicare, and Medicaid.
