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

At Roche, we believe it is urgent to deliver medical solutions right now, even as we develop innovations for the future. We are passionate about transforming patients’ lives. We are brave in both decision and action and we believe that good business means a better world.

The Patient Journey Partner (PJP) is at the center of the new Roche organisation, turning upside down the role we play in society - from mostly offering world-class medicines towards much more partnering, innovating and leading generative disruption. By doing so, the PJP will be directly accountable to deliver better outcomes for patients, their community, the ecosystem and the organisation, faster.

The PJP is an empowered leader and the local face of Roche. They partner closely with all stakeholders directly touching the patient journey in a given therapeutic area, (including but not limited to healthcare professionals, academics, patient advocacy groups and patients) gaining a deep understanding of their needs in order to connect Roche’s capabilities to co-create meaningful solutions.
