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 connect across the whole business to power each function to better influence patient outcomes and improve their lives. We are dedicated to combining science with our knowledge to deliver greater value for patients every day. We take data seriously and are driven by the impact we know we can have. We are continuously drawing on our existing and expanding knowledge to adapt with the technology environment. We are often seen breaking new ground but without ever compromising on doing things the right way.
