Internship in R&D Finance

At Roche you can show up as yourself, embraced for the unique qualities you bring. Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections,  where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.

As Roche continues to be an industry leader in R&D investments, it is essential that we allocate resources to the right areas and with the highest impact. Finance plays a pivotal role as an enabling function, navigating a diverse and complex value chain efficiently and effectively  in support of the success for the Roche Group as a leading science company. Moreover, as our innovation pipeline grows in its disease therapeutic diversity and technology platforms, Finance must play a critical role in ensuring investments in areas that will drive step change become multiplicative rather than additive.

In line with the vision laid out in the Finance White Paper, the R&D Finance Network supports our Core R&D Units (PD, gRED, pRED & CiCoR) and is focused on Finance Enterprise Partnering, fostering strong, trustful relationships based on a shared commitment to a greater impact for patients and the company as whole. Our R&D Finance operating model enables Finance Enterprise Partners to work as a network in one team.

You will be supporting R&D Finance Enterprise Partners and interact closely with our Enterprise Center of Excellence (eCoE) colleagues, allowing you to get exposure to various Finance activities whilst also participating in various new and ongoing projects (e.g. R&D Finance Outcomes). You may be required to also work with any other ad-hoc stakeholders or help with additional activities.
