Key Responsibilities:

The PJP acts as a trusted partner and is the primary point of contact for HCPs and medical societies in hospital institutions to partner with patient journey stakeholders to remove roadblocks and unlock possibilities to deliver value to patients and the community.

As a PJP you will:

• Focus on the importance of bringing the outside in, working with partners to uncover all potential opportunities to transform outcomes for patients. Also bring the inside out, to bring Roche expertise, science and knowledge to the ecosystem.
• Generate insights from regular market and HCP engagements, including customer visits, market and data analytics, to identify gaps and opportunities, to translate to solutions.
• Steward Roche’s products through their lifecycle and supports their appropriate use, which includes sharing their merits with HCPs in a truthful and balanced manner.
• Act as a system thinker with the ability to identify shared purpose among stakeholders and leverage this to co-create solutions with stakeholders in the ecosystem.
• Work with key stakeholders to unlock possibilities for patients across the best solutions.
• Be empowered to pull in expertise and resources locally and from the network as needed, including in collaboration with other PJPs and HSPs, Quality, Supply Chain, Finance, etc.
• Be accountable on delivering outcomes in therapeutic areas within the ecosystem.

Who You Are:

With a passion to create value and impact on the ecosystem, you can think from an enterprise level, beyond boundaries and borders, in order to bring best possible outcomes to both the local health environment, and more broadly, across Roche globally.

You have:

• Healthcare professional qualification and/or university degree (life sciences) with practical understanding of digital innovation methodologies. An advanced degree in Life Sciences and/or MBA is a plus.
• Demonstrated work experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry with up to date knowledge of relevant standards and guidelines.
• Therapeutic Area (e.g. Oncology) expertise and experience would be preferred.
• Strong capabilities in understanding and mapping patient and customer journeys and related treatments in the Therapeutic Area (e.g. Oncology) (preferred).
• Robust strategic understanding and experience in tactical implementation of health solutions, including an understanding of clinical research.

With strong business acumen, you demonstrate expertise in both commercialization and a valuable customer experience. You are excellent in stakeholder engagement and management, including partnering with therapeutic area experts (TAEs) and other key stakeholders.

Being a strong collaborator you are good at formulating and orchestrating cross-functional strategies, prioritizing and seeking a common ground.
