Research & Development
Finding innovative solutions for unmet medical needs is at the heart of what we do. Our ideas and research help save lives. The R&D Team develops novel medicines in the disease areas of oncology, immunology, ophthalmology, neuroscience, infectious diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases. The Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics Divisions work together on research and development projects, sharing our research facilities, technology and developments, and benefitting jointly from our innovations. Our leading market position is based on an engaging corporate culture that embraces personal respect, a passion to perform, and the courage to leverage flexibility. Would you like to find your place in research at Roche and model your own success on our personalised healthcare strategy?
Manufacturing & Supply
Manufacturing & Supply contributes to a smooth assembly and manufacturing workflow for test systems and instruments, and ensures a reliable supply of medicines to customers and patients. In other words, we drive the design and continuous optimisation of manufacturing and supply chains throughout the product life cycle – from raw materials to finished products. Could this be a challenge that drives you, too?
Quality Assurance & Control
Working in Quality Assurance & Control, you will be a guardian of Roche’s high standards. We focus on safeguarding high-quality supplies to patients, the continuous improvement of our processes and products, and legally compliant processes, products and behaviour. Does this sound like the sort of job in which you could realise your potential?
Digital & Technology
Digital & Technology helps all areas of Roche Pharma, Roche Diagnostics and the Roche Corporate functions by developing and delivering innovative technology solutions. It is the company’s central nervous system, inspired, like our colleagues in the medical areas, by advances that benefit patients. This is why Roche deserves its reputation in the pharma industry as having one of the most forward-looking technology organisations that uses diversity to drive innovation. Do you identify with our drive to improve lives?
Medical Affairs
The Medical Affairs team bridges research, clinical development, scientific publications, health outcomes, biostatistics, medical education and various other medical services to communicate the value and proper use of Roche products. Medical Affairs provides physicians, key opinion leaders, regulatory agencies, professional groups and healthcare professionals with medical and scientific information and training.
Business Strategy & Finance
Our Business Strategy and Finance team creates trusted partnerships to influence and enable decisions that bring medicines and diagnostic tests to patients. We provide transparent and reliable financials, information and processes, and embrace an entrepreneurial culture.
Sales & Marketing
In Sales & Marketing we play a key role in communicating the patient benefits of Roche medicines and diagnostic system solutions to key opinion leaders, partners, external agencies and the media. The team represents Roche at trade fairs and congresses, gives sales presentations for special target groups such as physicians and health experts, and advises healthcare professionals on the proper use of our products. We also work with many other groups in and beyond the Pharma and Diagnostics divisions, and with the affiliate markets to recognise and meet global market needs.
Technical Development
Technical Development forms the bridge that links research and product development in Roche’s Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics divisions with markets and patients all over the world. It’s as crucial as it is complex. The teams develop reliable, efficient and robust manufacturing processes for every product, from development at laboratory level and the production of clinical trial supplies to market-scale production. Do you want to help shape the processes that trigger medical innovations which improve and extend the lives of millions of people?

Regardless of whether you join Human Resources, Communication, Procurement or another department, we enjoy a wide variety of tasks and no end of new challenges.
