What Enterprise AI Means at AstraZeneca
Artificial Intelligence is already transforming how we work across AstraZeneca. From identifying promising drug targets earlier in the discovery process to helping clinical teams find the right patients for trials faster, AI is enabling us to move with greater speed, precision and impact.
To accelerate this progress, we have created a dedicated Enterprise AI Unit that brings together expertise from across the company. The team acts as a global centre of excellence, combining deep scientific knowledge with advanced AI and data capabilities to unlock new possibilities across our entire value chain — spanning R&D, Commercial, Operations and Corporate functions.
Our ambition is bold. Through our AI transformation programme, we are targeting significant improvements across the full value chain by 2030. This isn't incremental improvement — it's end-to-end process reimagination. By applying AI at enterprise scale, we aim to create an organisation that moves faster while remaining grounded in the science and ethics that define AstraZeneca. Every algorithm built, every process reimagined, every insight delivered translates directly into time gained for patients who cannot wait.
Why join the enterprise AI team
Joining the Enterprise AI team means working on problems that truly matter. This isn't theoretical AI — it's AI with purpose, where your work accelerates breakthrough medicines from lab to patient. The models, platforms and systems built here directly accelerate scientific discovery, shorten clinical trial timelines and improve how treatments reach patients worldwide.
You will be part of a transformation that reaches across the entire organisation. Our teams collaborate with experts in research and development, commercial operations, manufacturing and technology to design AI solutions that operate at global scale. This means your work can influence everything from how new medicines are discovered to how they are delivered to patients in more than 125 countries — with the executive sponsorship and investment to back it.
At the same time, you will be working alongside leading scientists, clinicians and technologists who are already pushing the boundaries of what is possible in oncology, cardiovascular, respiratory, immunology and rare diseases. By combining this scientific expertise with cutting-edge AI, we are building something genuinely unique.
Perhaps most importantly, this is a moment of transformation. We are creating an organisation where AI augments human intelligence, experimentation is encouraged, and learning is continuous — with a 100% workforce AI proficiency commitment that signals this is core to everyone's role, not just a function of one team. The Enterprise AI Unit sits at the heart of that shift, helping shape how AstraZeneca works for years to come.
Who we are looking for
We are building an AI-empowered organisation from the ground up, which means we need people from every discipline — scientists, leaders, strategists, operators and technologists — united by a drive to apply AI where it matters most.
Our teams include people from across functions and backgrounds. Some come from technology companies, others from research institutions, commercial organisations or healthcare. What they share is a curiosity about complex problems and a desire to see their work make a tangible difference in the world.
Success in this environment requires both technical excellence and the ability to collaborate across disciplines. Many of the most exciting breakthroughs happen when experts in AI work side by side with scientists, clinicians and business leaders to translate ideas into real solutions.
Above all, we are looking for people who are excited by the opportunity to shape the future of AI in healthcare — responsibly, thoughtfully and at global scale. Whether you are embedding AI into a commercial function, leading a transformation programme or building enterprise-wide capability, you will have the mandate, the sponsorship and the investment to make it count.
Explore opportunities within our Enterprise AI team and discover how your expertise could help accelerate breakthrough medicines for patients around the world.
