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.

At AstraZeneca, we play a critical role in making our pipeline accessible to patients. Being a research-driven enterprise means there's always something new to work on—new indications and securing access for new medicines to reach even more patients in need. Our knowledge of patients, combined with our forward-looking approach and innovations, helps us spot opportunities, get involved earlier, and tackle access sustainably. We thrive on autonomy and collaboration, always finding new ways to explore and innovate. If you enjoy challenging the status quo, this is the place for you.
