Roche's dynamic Public Affairs team plays a pivotal role in seeking to shape the political and public policy health environment to support our mission that every eligible patient should have access to the most clinically appropriate treatment. This is an exciting role for a highly skilled communicator in a fast moving policy environment. As Public Affairs Manager you will drive programmes addressing some of the big issues affecting the NHS today, such as sustainable access to medicines, patient safety and data transparency.

Reporting into the Head of Public Affairs, you will contribute to building Roche's public affairs strategy and drive the implementation of its tactical programmes across the portfolio. You will build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with a network of key public policy and charity stakeholders to build support for public affairs objectives.

Central to your role will be the analysis and communication of health policy developments providing strategic counsel to colleagues and the business. This will include the drafting of high-level briefing materials, detailed reports and internal strategy documents.

The delivery of campaign programmes will involve cross-functional working with product teams, public relations, medical, health economics and market access within Roche UK and the global organisation. An adept project manager, you will need to coordinate both internal and external stakeholders to maximise the impact of our public affairs campaigns in the external environment and within the business.

To be successful in this role you will be a skilled public affairs practitioner with at least 5 years’ experience working in public policy.
