The Business Perspectives Program is the flagship global commercial rotational development program at Roche, designed to provide a 'rapid fire' induction experience into our operating businesses, which are organized into two divisions, Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics.

Business Perspectives was designed to hire great talent at an early stage in their career, and accelerate their development across geographies & functions, enabling them to be a key contributor to our company’s purpose, and above all a differentiator to patients lives.

Hungry to learn and prepared to work hard, we have a genuine interest in your career path & aspirations. As you display the right mindset & behaviors, we want you to reach your full potential by taking on stretched assignments, participating in pilot projects & doing on-the-job shadowing.

Innovation is at the core of our culture; it is not just the sum of great technology, key acquisitions, smart people and tough decision making. Our company’s corporate culture matches and supports it. Our continued success depends on our ability to replenish our pharma and diagnostics pipeline through further innovation breakthroughs.

The Business Perspectives Program does exactly that: create an environment in which potential & diversity of thinking is leveraged to shape the future of Roche, the future of Healthcare.

Program participants take ownership of their rotations with support from executive-level mentors and the Business Perspectives Program Manager. Ideally they gain experience in global, regional and affiliate roles. Rotation functions vary depending on interest, business need and the participants’ aspired career path. They can include roles in Product Strategy/Marketing, Sales, Market Access, Personalized Healthcare 2.0, Diagnostics Information Solutions, Business Development etc. Rotation locations have included Algeria, Brazil, China, Dubai, India, Kenya, Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, and others Japan, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Ireland, Norway, Russia, France, Germany, Italy. Roche operates across 100 countries and Business Perspectives participants are expected to stretch themselves outside of their cultural comfort zones.

Business Perspectives provides participants with a global leadership development program aimed at establishing a broader understanding of the business, build intercultural awareness, experience leadership fundamentals in action, and accelerate their development in order to prepare themselves to potentially move into a critical role. There is a mix of facilitator-led training and simulations, which helps participants to immediately apply what they have learnt. A 360 review conducted prior to the program as well as feedback from fellow participants and facilitators will help participants to gain some insights into their strengths and areas for development as a Leader. The leadership development program also offers a great opportunity to network with other participants and Leaders from around the globe. Apart from formal training, there are multiple peer coaching opportunities and senior leadership mentoring.
