Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections,  where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.

The Position

Our Global Internship Programme in Innovation & Sustainability (#IP2TIS) offers a unique opportunity for passionate individuals to gain hands-on experience in the pharmaceutical industry while making a positive impact on the world.

Are you ready to join a global network spanning 20+ countries, where bright minds collaborate to tackle real-world challenges in Innovation & Sustainability? Do you want to work on impactful projects, shape the future, and drive change from within?

As an intern, you will contribute to Mission Eco-Possible, an active initiative designed to align CAC DIA operations with Roche’s global sustainability strategy and support a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The project focuses on turning the affiliate’s emissions baseline into a practical roadmap for action, with particular attention to Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions in the Central America and Caribbean context. Within your first months, you are expected to help design and implement an internal environmental sustainability campaign, support the definition of a feasible action plan and investment needs for emissions reduction, and develop an emissions reporting tool aligned with Roche Group guidelines. Your work will help translate global sustainability commitments into local action, strengthen reporting transparency, and mobilize the organization around a shared environmental mission. This internship offers a valuable opportunity to combine sustainability strategy, analytics, and culture change in a high-impact regional setting.
