The PositionRoche APAC Foundational Products Squad Internship ProgramAbout the APAC Foundational Products Squad (FPS)
The APAC Foundational Products Squad (FPS) is a regional team that connects and empowers Roche affiliates across Asia-Pacific — from Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand to Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Taiwan, and beyond.
Our mission is to unlock the full potential of Roche’s late life-cycle and established medicines, ensuring that they continue to deliver impact for patients, healthcare systems, and communities. While affiliates focus on early life-cycle innovations, the FPS enables affiliates to gain a competitive advantage for established medicines — driving access, relevance, and sustainability in diverse and evolving healthcare landscapes.
Working in FPS means being part of an agile, cross-functional squad model. We collaborate across markets and with regional/global partners to:
Innovate with purpose, experimenting with digital tools, AI, and new ways of engagement.
Drive operational excellence, ensuring the squad can operate independently with high efficiency with the insights, tools, and processes they need.
Deliver on business leveraging new Go to Market model
For this internship, FPS offers a rare opportunity to work regionally, gain exposure to multiple healthcare systems, and see how insights and innovations scale across countries. Every project you take on will connect directly to real-world impact for patients in Asia-Pacific.
📍 These internship roles are based in Roche Singapore Pte Ltd. supporting both the APAC Foundational Products Squad and Roche Singapore Pharma affiliate.
