You will join a global, fast-moving team that connects science, strategy, and innovation to deliver results.

The goal is to inform and engage HCPs across therapeutic areas and products.

Provide detailed, targeted, and scientifically balanced answers to medical information inquiries from Health Care Providers to support the appropriate use of AstraZeneca products.

Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with cross-functional teams to guarantee medical content is in line with strategic priorities and meets industry standards, company policies, and regulatory guidelines.

Evidence Identification: Conduct detailed literature reviews to identify relevant scientific evidence, ensuring copyright and appropriate usage in content development.

Data Translation: Convert complex scientific data into clear, accurate, and audience-appropriate messaging that supports therapeutic area goals, product positioning, and educational initiatives.

Medical Accuracy Review: Conduct medical accuracy evaluation of scientific content, ensuring quality and scientific integrity.

Operational Excellence: Contribute to improvements in processes developed to boost operational efficiency, quality, and turnaround time. Help develop strong management frameworks to track operational and other important metrics.

Digital Innovation: Significantly contribute to integrating digital solutions and emerging technological progress in scientific content delivery, scaling reach and impact.

Contribute to strategic medical planning and guarantee timely execution of assigned deliverables tied to product launches, data updates, or congress support, meeting all required deadlines.

Leadership and Collaboration: Lead/participate in key workstreams which may include scientific content creation, medical information services, or digital innovation projects depending on the level of experience and business need.

Essential Skills/Experience:

Advanced degree in a life science, pharmacy, or related field.

Hands-on experience with medical information systems and content platforms (e.g., Veeva Vault, scientific reference managers, inquiry management tools).

Familiarity with global regulatory and compliance frameworks for scientific communications and medical information (e.g., FDA, EMA, EFPIA, IFPMA) and fair balance principles.

Ability to design or oversee visual storytelling (infographics, data visualizations) and adapt content for digital channels.

Experience supporting congress activities, symposia, and data dissemination plans.

Proficiency in setting and supervising operational KPIs and dashboards using analytics tools.

Comfort working in agile, cross-functional environments and managing multiple priorities to tight deadlines.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash ambitious 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.

Why AstraZeneca:

Here, your scientific expertise fuels outcomes that matter—turning evidence into action for patients while shaping how our enterprise works at speed and scale. You will be trusted to take ownership, challenge how things are done, and move ideas from concept to delivery alongside skilled colleagues who share knowledge freely and value patience as much as ambition. Using modern tools, data-driven approaches, and a global learning network, you will help reinvent scientific communication and healthcare insights. The environment values integrity, smart risk-taking, and long-term impact on health and society.

Call to Action:

If you are ready to transform evidence into clarity for healthcare professionals and momentum for patients, send your application and help us raise the bar on scientific communications.
