At AstraZeneca, we are actively embracing and investing in technology, harnessing digital, data and analytics to reimagine the future of healthcare and deliver improved outcomes to patients beyond core medical.

We are proud to work here, fusing the tools of our leading pharmaceutical company with an agile mindset to guide the strategy and operational delivery of digital health solutions across Research & Development.

We are ambitious self-starters, proactively driving our own learning. Open-minded and curious, we embrace change and naturally adapt to our ever-evolving industry.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines.

In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office.

But that doesn't mean we’re not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility.

Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

Competitive remuneration and benefits apply
