Job Description

Who we are:

At Roche, about 80,000 people across 150 countries are pushing back the frontiers of healthcare. Working together, we’ve become one of the world’s leading research-focused healthcare groups. Our success is built on innovation, curiosity and diversity, and on seeing each other’s differences as an advantage. To innovate healthcare, Roche has ambitious plans to keep learning and growing – and is seeking people who have the same goals for themselves.

The headquarters in Basel is one of Roche’s largest sites. It is home to the Corporate Executive Committee, the Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics Divisions and the global business functions. Roche Basel also covers the entire business chain from research, development and production through to marketing. Over 8,000 people from more than 60 countries work at the site.

The Position:

In this challenging position, you will work with Lifecycle Teams to provide counsel and strategic advise on public policy environment and access issues for Roche's products. You will also work with pan-European and regional patient and support groups on issues of patient access to care. You will lead the development and implementation of strategic plans for headquarter activity on policy and access issues. Besides, you are responsible for facilitating affiliate funding and patient access plans and monitoring active implementation. You will work with International Communication Managers and the International Economic Strategy Leaders to co-ordinate and leverage activities and with affiliate-based policy/funding officials and funding teams on local policy/funding issues.

Who you are:

You’re someone who wants to influence your own development. You’re looking for a company where you have the opportunity to pursue your interests across functions and geographies, and where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

This position requires a bachelor's degree and a minimum of 5 years experience in government, public policy or as a public affairs consultant in Brussels or at a national level. You have worked with third party stakeholders and external customers. You also have experience in a cross-functional and multi-cultural environment. You are able to manage multiple tasks and priorities and you have a good understanding of business issues. Your English is fluent, written and verbal.

We are looking for a strategic thinking person with good communication, negotiation and presentation skills. You are a team player and you have excellent problem solving skills.
