Regulatory Affairs Strategists, CVRM and RIA

Are you an experienced Regulatory Affairs professional with strategic leadership skills and a deep understanding of global regulatory science in the context of drug development?  Would you like to apply your expertise in a global company where we work together across boundaries to make the impossible a reality? If so, you might be interested in joining us to be part of the development of innovative treatment of diseases in the areas of Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolic (CVRM) or Respiratory, Inflammation and Autoimmunity (RIA)!

AstraZeneca’s pipeline of innovative medicines is consistently growing within both CVRM and RIA, two of our major therapy areas. To meet the increasing demand of regulatory expertise, we are now expanding our regulatory functions by recruiting Regulatory Affairs Strategists (at Director and Sr Director level). With us, you will get the opportunity to work across the spectrum of drug development to progress a rich and diverse pipeline of both small and big molecules. You will work across disciplines in an atmosphere of collaboration and inclusion where Regulatory affairs is a respected voice and considered an equal partner.

 If you are looking for a new challenge, we are offering opportunities in different disease areas and at different levels, depending on your expertise and previous experience. We are now expanding our regulatory teams at AstraZeneca’s dynamic R&D site in Cambridge, UK. You can also be located in Gothenburg, Sweden or Gaithersburg, US depending on your preference.
