Desired profile

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. Where a job title is not considered the final definition of who you are, but the starting point.

To be successful in this role you will have a life sciences degree and/or proven experience of working in a clinical or scientific role within the pharmaceutical industry or the NHS. You will be skilled at understanding, analysing and interpreting data from clinical trials. Your ability for conveying complex concepts concisely combined with your excellent presentation skills will enable you to translate and communicate that data. Your positive and proactive approach combined with excellent communication, inter-personal and influencing skills will enable you to build and sustain partnerships in your locality. Planning and project management skills, combined with time management skills, will allow you to optimise and prioritise activities in order to deliver the most efficient service to your healthcare professionals.

Hemophilia and/or respiratory disease area experience is highly desirable, but we would be keen to hear from other applicants with the appropriate transferable skills.

If you are proud of contributing and feel you have the commitment to teamwork and innovation that we are seeking, then Roche is the organisation for you. In return we offer a competitive salary plus the excellent benefits you would expect from a blue-chip organisation, including a genuine interest in your development and progression.
