2021 IT Emerging Talent Rotation Program
Job Description
Our IT team operates as a business partner proposing ideas and innovative solutions that enable new organizational capabilities. We collaborate internationally to deliver the services and solutions that help everyone to be more productive and enable innovation.
IT Emerging Talent Rotational (ETR) Program: In 2 Years, Explore 3 Roles
Our Company has always been and always will be inventing, and we do it for the single greatest purpose: Life. Here, IT operates at the intersection of technology, health care, and the life sciences. Apply to our IT Emerging Talent Rotation Program and become part of a vibrant and diverse tapestry of thinkers, dreamers, and doers. It’s three enriching opportunities in one!
Over the course of 2 years, you will explore three very different roles and areas of IT. Working in teams, alongside highly skilled professionals, you will develop your knowledge, build your network and enhance your professional experience. You can do this all within in the safety of a large company that provides a valuable suite of compensation and benefit programs as well as mentors and resources to support your professional achievement and personal well-being.
We’re looking for people who have a passion for applying technology to invent novel life-saving drugs, broaden access to medicines and vaccines, and enable next-generation healthcare solutions. You are inspired by a challenge and can’t wait to apply your fresh and deepening knowledge of Data and Analytics, IoT, AI, Automation, AWS, DevOps, Agile or Scrum. Maybe for you, it’s Blockchain or Python/R scripting, or agile software development and design thinking. Maybe you like the 20,000-foot view of architecture and or the detail of end-to-end business process design. Maybe it’s cyber security and the thrill of protecting and defending that gets you out of bed in the morning. This is three opportunities in one, and upon successful completion of the program, you will be offered final job placement within our IT team and with a phenomenal company focused on saving and improving lives.
