Our work unlocks the potential of science. We optimise and redefine AstraZeneca by improving efficiencies and finding new ways to drive productivity. From automation to data simplification.
When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we ignite ambitious thinking with the power to encourage 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 outstanding and bold world.

We are committed to building an inclusive and diverse team representing all backgrounds, with as wide a range of perspectives as possible, and harnessing industry-leading skills.
