About the Apprenticeship:
Our Product Development Informatics (PDIX) organization is co-creating a better future for patients through technology and information. We are an agile organization that brings together great people who are passionate about technology innovation, and who thrive in dynamic, cross-functional, and mission-driven teams.
Our agile organization is made up of structures called Networks and Chapters. "Networks" comprise business domain and technical experts aligned closely with our Product Development business partners to develop and deliver technology-enabled business strategy. Our "Chapters" are centers of expertise of deeply skilled people deployed for maximum impact. These teams work together to deliver outstanding value to our business, patients, and customers.
Data engineering is a process to design, build and manage the information or 'big data' infrastructure. It gives an understanding of how to develop the architecture that helps analyse and process data in the way the organisation needs it. As a Data Engineering Apprentice within the PDIX Data and Analytics Chapter, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to solve complex data problems enabling PD to transform data into actionable insights. You will collaborate with IT and business stakeholders to co-create data and analytics enabled solutions that help our teams fulfill our mission: to do now what patients need next.
During this exciting 4-year apprenticeship, you will work towards a fully funded Bachelor's degree (BSc) specializing in Data Engineering whilst gaining valuable 'on the job' experience and mentoring from our talented experts at Roche.
