Operations Rotational Development Program (ORDP) The Operations Rotational Development Program is a rotational development program that attracts top talent and prepares them for successful contributions to Product Operations (PROP). The program gives recent graduates the opportunity to gain a broad perspective on the core PROP functions that are critical to the manufacturing of Genentech products.
ORDP takes place over a two-year period and involves four six-month rotational assignments within the Product Operations (PROP) organization, including Manufacturing, Global Supply Chain, Engineering, Process Development, Quality, Operational Excellence, Manufacturing Collaborations, and Finance. The rotations are tailored to provide challenging and meaningful assignments, training in technical and leadership skills, and coaching with assignment managers and mentors.

How ORDP Works The program provides analysts with opportunities to design and implement new processes, develop product management expertise, and be involved in processes that significantly drive business productivity and profitability. Analysts will be responsible for projects on both an individual and team basis and will perform activities and functions as a member of their assigned department. Each analyst will partner with an assignment supervisor, who will guide them through the day-to-day activities of the department.
Assignments last six months and are based on a combination of PROP strategic objectives, specific departmental needs, technical qualifications (coursework and degree) and interests of the ORDP analysts. Assignments are available at the South San Francisco, Oceanside, and Vacaville facilities. Throughout the rotational assignments, ORDP analysts are considered full-time employees of their assigned department and are eligible for Genentech's standard vacation and benefits package. During the fourth and final rotational assignment, analysts will have the opportunity to apply for open positions at Genentech that meet analysts' career goals and for which they are qualified.
