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

As an Automation Intern, you will be part of our Data Science & Automation (D&A) team within the Business Analytics function. This internship is designed as a hands-on learning experience, where you will explore automation technologies, support ongoing initiatives, and contribute fresh ideas to improve how we work.

You will gain exposure to real-world business challenges, automation tools, and emerging AI capabilities, while working alongside experienced Business Analysts, Automation Developers, and Business Partners.

This role is ideal for someone who is curious about technology, enjoys simplifying complex ideas, and is eager to learn how automation and data-driven solutions can create business impact.

You will be part of RSS Business Analytics - a global team with regional presence in Switzerland, India, Costa Rica, Hungary, Latvia and Malaysia. We operate in an agile organizational set-up without extensive hierarchical structure, where all our employees lead from every seat. Inspirational leadership, service oriented behavior and entrepreneurial customer centric mindset are our core values.

As part of your 6-month journey, you will have the chance to dive into one or more of these core areas:

• Hands-on Development: Work on internal automation projects using UiPath, Python, or scripting to streamline our own team's workflows.

• MS migration analysis: Research our upcoming move to Microsoft 365, evaluating the effects on existing automations and proposing best practices for a smooth bot migration.

• Solution Strategy & Showcase: Develop an "Automation Toolkit" (decision trees and tool matrices) to match business problems with the right tech (AI vs. RPA). You’ll then bring this to life by curating a digital "Solution Catalogue" to showcase our team’s capabilities and toolkit.

• Ad-hoc Exploration: Stay agile! You’ll support various team initiatives as they arise, giving you a 360-degree view of Business Analytics.

Require:

• Basic understanding of programming or scripting concepts

• Familiarity with any language such as Python, JavaScript, or similar (academic or personal projects is sufficient)

• Strong curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies

• Ability to break down complex ideas into simple, structured formats

• Good communication and presentation skills (written and verbal in English)

Nice to have (not mandatory)

• Exposure to automation tools (e.g. UiPath, Power Automate, Google Apps Script)

• Experience creating presentations, documentation, or visual content

What we offer:

• Mentorship: Regular 1:1s with experienced Data Scientists and Automation Developers.

• Real Impact: Your projects (like the Tool Matrix or Solution Catalogue) will be used by the team long after your internship ends.

• Global Exposure: Experience how a leading healthcare company uses technology to impact patients' lives.

• Flexible Environment: A culture that values "leading from every seat" and prioritizes your development over a rigid job title.
