PDR Early Talent Graduate Program

Roche’s Product Development Regulatory Early Talent Programme builds regulatory affairs skills through pharmaceutical projects, regulatory documentation and collaboration with global drug development teams.

The Opportunity

Embark on a transformative two-year journey with the One Product Development Regulatory (PDR) Early Talent (ET) Program, meticulously crafted to impart comprehensive foundational knowledge in regulatory affairs. This dynamic initiative blends hands-on assignments with tailored learning solutions, making it an ideal entry-point for aspiring regulatory professionals.

Participants gain invaluable insights into the complete lifecycle of pharmaceutical products, from initial clinical trials to market exit, by engaging in diverse activities across various therapeutic areas and stages of development. The latter part of the program offers the opportunity to rotate into another function or specialize further in PDR.

Throughout the program, ETs collaborate with global drug development teams to support the introduction of novel pharmaceutical products to patients worldwide. This environment not only enhances their scientific writing skills but also deepens their understanding of regulatory frameworks by preparing a wide array of regulatory documents and supporting Health Authority Interactions.

By joining the One PDR ET Program, participants become pivotal contributors to the regulatory landscape, dedicated to ensuring that life-changing medicines reach those who need them most.
