We aim to discover and deliver life-transforming treatments in our core therapeutic and business areas, including gastrointestinal and inflammation, rare diseases, plasma-derived therapies, oncology, neuroscience and vaccines. Together with our partners, we aim to improve the patient experience and advance a new frontier of treatment options through our dynamic and diverse pipeline. As a leading values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Japan, we are guided by our commitment to patients, our people and the planet. Our employees in approximately 80 countries and regions are driven by our purpose and are grounded in the values that have defined us for more than two centuries.

Takeda in Switzerland is the hub of Europe & Canada Business Unit (EUCAN) and the headquarters for our Global Manufacturing & Supply, Global Quality, and Plasma-Derived Therapies business units. And, as one of Takeda’s global hub locations, many other business areas such as Oncology and many Corporate Functions have a presence here.

This location has a strong company culture. Employees in Zurich participate in many philanthropic activities such as planting trees and cleaning up communities. There are also many social opportunities for colleagues to participate in together, including running, yoga and swimming.

Professionally and personally, Zurich – and Switzerland – has a lot to offer. From the abundance of learning opportunities and prevalent scientific community to the quality of life and central European location, Zurich is a unique and ideal location to build a rich professional and personal life.

Commited to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At Takeda, the commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) is a personal one. Our team is one that spans over 80 different countries, each bringing unique backgrounds and experiences. These diverse perspectives reflect the perspectives of the patients who rely on the treatments we develop.

That’s why we aim to build a more inclusive and equitable environment. In doing so, everyone within Takeda can collaborate in a space free of fear or judgement. This is a culture where all are free to speak up. Where each employee can contribute and grow as an individual while feeling a sense of belonging at Takeda.
