Our vision is to be a World Class HR function, providing thought leadership, quality customer experience and being a strategic partner to the business as we work towards our bold ambition.
Working within an Enabling Function such as HR you may not feel you're at the frontline of research but your role in changing patients' lives is critical. Our mission is ambitious and it takes the skills of a collaborative team to really deliver on what science can do and to always put patients first.
At AstraZeneca we believe in the potential of our people and you’ll develop beyond what you thought possible. We make the most of your skills and passion by actively supporting you to see what you can achieve no matter where you start with us.
