What is a Cluster Lead?

“Chapters” are the \"homes\" of employees within Roche that represent technical & functional topics/expertise. Chapters develop employee expertise (capability building) for today and the future, coach employees to translate their capabilities into impactful external outcomes, and continually maintain a high level of performance. Chapters are characterized by minimal hierarchy, with the aim of developing empowered, collaborative and highly capable colleagues.  Chapters are grouped into \"Clusters\" based on common capabilities and/or business synergy potential to facilitate prioritization and resourcing. This grouping is not fixed, so can flex over time.

As the leader for the Patient Access Cluster, you are accountable for establishing broad and sustainable access to Roche medicines. This includes forming meaningful partnerships with customers, patient groups, and government stakeholders to develop and execute comprehensive access strategies, including national reimbursement and alternative funding solutions.

A successful cluster lead will understand on-market and pipeline therapies, their impact on patients and the healthcare system, and have knowledge of access, healthcare system shaping, and patient advocacy. The leader will engage across the organization to ensure alignment of cluster priorities with broader enterprise goals.

You will act as an agile leader (Visionary, Architect, Coach, Catalyst) and help the cluster and Roche Pharma Taiwan culture thrive. Your leadership will catalyze an externally focused and adaptable team, fostering a mindset that engages employees to bring our medicines and services to more patients swiftly, while shaping the local healthcare system for long-term sustainability.
