The Position

We advance science so that we all have more time with the people we love.

Your opportunity

The Patient Journey Partner (PJP) is at the center of the new Roche organization, turning upside down the role we play in society - from mostly offering world-class medicines towards much more partnering, innovating and breakthrough transformation. By doing so the PJP will be directly accountable to deliver better outcomes for patients, their community, the health ecosystem (the healthcare services and stakeholders that interact together in a community to address the needs of patients, including healthcare providers, payers, not-for-profit organizations, regulators, policy makers and industry) and the organization, faster.

This role is locally embedded in the ecosystem, it is an integrated role, functionally agnostic, (i.e. it does not fit into the traditional concepts of commercial/Sales or Medical Affairs). It has no profitability, sales objectives or incentives

The PJP is a senior level role within the affiliate, who has decision making authority to request resources of Roche (both within the affiliate and broader network) in order to have improved impact on the patient journey. The PJP focuses on the importance of bringing the outside in, identifying areas of shared purpose with patients and ecosystem, identifying the medical unmet needs during patient journey, including but not limited to disease awareness, screening and early detection, diagnosis, treatment decision and following up such as: on-going monitoring, survivorship and recurrence monitoring

As an empowered leader and the face of Roche, you will collaborate closely with all partners directly touching the patient journey, gaining a deep understanding of their needs, in service of connecting Roche’s capabilities to co-create meaningful solutions. In addition, you will be responsible for:

• Acting as a trusted partner and the primary point of contact between stakeholders and Roche, prioritizing and securing resources, and driving solutions that deliver outcomes faster.
• Collaborating with patient journey partners to remove roadblocks and unlock possibilities to deliver value for patients and the community.
• Guiding Roche’s products through their lifecycle and supporting their appropriate use, sharing their merits with HCPs in a truthful and balanced manner.
• Ensuring great experiences whenever partners in the ecosystem engage with Roche employees, products and services.

Who are you:

• You demonstrate personal purpose in improving the patient journey, as well as a strong passion to bring value and impact to the healthcare ecosystem.
• You are a true visionary, defining and embedding the strategy around creating better health outcomes for more patients faster, bringing a strong entrepreneurial mentality with outstanding partnering capabilities (coaching, consulting, ability to deeply listen, question and understand).
• You have required University degree in Pharmacy or Medicine. An advanced degree in Life science and/or MBA is a plus.
• You have experience in Ophthalmology is a plus
• You have practical understanding of digital innovation methodologies
