The Operations Rotational Development Program (ORDP) is an elite two-year fast-track development program designed to prepare top-tier university graduates for impactful careers in Roche and Genentech Pharma Technical Operations (PT). Grounded in a "Manufacturing First" mandate, ORDP combines 12 months of deep shop-floor manufacturing immersion in Year 1 with demand-driven strategic placements in Year 2. The program empowers early-career professionals to solve complex site operational challenges, master core execution processes, develop cross-functional leadership, and accelerate productivity to deliver real value for patients worldwide.

Participants will have opportunities to develop project management expertise, support world-class manufacturing, and be involved in processes that significantly drive business productivity and profitability. The rotations are tailored to provide challenging and meaningful assignments, training in technical and managerial skills, and coaching with rotation managers and mentors.
Examples of Work

A rotation manager will guide participants through the day-to-day activities of the department. You will have a chance to work on projects on both an individual and team basis throughout PT and will perform activities and functions as a member of your assigned department.

Examples of training opportunities include formal internal and external training, formal presentation opportunities at the completion of each rotational assignment, and informal learning opportunities such as the ORDP Forum, participation in the Buddy Program, and networking events.

Testimonials

Listen to what our alumni and current candidates have to say about ORDP
"The ORDP program helped me to experience completely different parts of the organization to gain an end-to-end overview of how we are 'Doing Now What Patients Need Next'.

Roche never made me feel disadvantaged because of my nationality. Here people are evaluated based on their capabilities. I feel humbled that just two years after finishing the program, I have been trusted by the organization to serve a team of procurement experts in Switzerland and Germany."
