At Roche, we are passionate about transforming patients' lives, and we are bold in both decision and action - we believe that good business means a better world. That is why we come to work every single day. We commit ourselves to scientific rigor, unassailable ethics, and access to medical innovations for all. We do this today to build a better tomorrow.

Roche is strongly committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. We strive to build teams that represent a range of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Embracing diversity enables us to create a great place to work and to innovate for patients.

The Opportunity

In total, the 6 Customer Area Portfolio Managers will help shepherd a portfolio of projects and solutions that support annual revenues of more than 10B CHF and require an R&D investment of more than 1.5B CHF.

As part of the Portfolio Management team, the Customer Area Portfolio Manager for Molecular Labs will work directly with the Customer-Area head (Cindy Perettie) and Business teams to provide portfolio insights for our cutting-edge molecular and sequencing systems.
