The Position

Diabetes is a pesky monster — and that’s putting it mildly. If you’re serious about helping us face it head-on, join us!

Being a global leader in integrated Personalized Diabetes Management (iPDM), Roche collaborates with pioneers around the globe, including people with diabetes, caregivers, healthcare providers, and payers. We aim to transform and advance care provision and foster sustainable care structures. Under the brands Accu-Chek and mySugr, comprising glucose monitoring, insulin delivery systems, and digital solutions, we unite with our partners to create patient-centered value. By building and collaborating in an open ecosystem, connecting devices and digital solutions, and contextualizing relevant data points, we enable deeper insights and a better understanding of diabetes, leading to personalized and effective therapy adjustments.
