Vice President, US Medical CVRM

We at AstraZeneca are a global, science-led, patient-focused pharmaceutical company. We are dedicated to transforming the future of healthcare by unlocking the power of what science can do for people, society, and the planet.

In Medical Biopharmaceuticals, we have a transformational purpose – to advance clinical practice and reduce the outstanding burden of chronic diseases. We support the development and launch of innovative new medicines, we deliver practice-defining clinical trials, real world evidence, digital technology, and we champion earlier screening, diagnosis, and the adoption of clinical guidelines. As a result of this work, we are identifying millions of patients living with chronic conditions and ensuring they get access to the care they need, to improve their clinical outcomes.

Cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases are complex and interconnected. It’s by understanding their interconnections and targeting the mechanisms that drive them that we’ll be able to detect, diagnose and treat people earlier and more effectively.

Introduction to role:

Join us in leading a large team of motivated healthcare professionals during a period of exciting growth of our CVRM pipeline as the Vice President, US Medical CVRM. As leaders, we understand the importance of attracting, developing, and retaining talent. We operate in a hybrid space – one foot in the scientific world, the other partnering with the business. This is a place for strong communicators, resilient and fast-paced, who bring forth creative ideas then make them a reality.

Accountabilities:

As the Vice President, you will be responsible for providing sound and inspirational leadership of the US Medical – CVRM organization. You will strategically gather field insights and gaps in patient care pathways, partnering directly with Commercial and R&D leaders to build a medical strategy that transforms healthcare delivery. You will own the development and implementation of high-impact US integrated Medical plans aligned to the overall CVRM TA and business objectives.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Advanced science degree (PhD, PharmD, etc.) with at least 10 years of pharma/biotech industry experience

• Experience leading high performing US medical teams, including both HQ and field medical teams coupled with influencing and leading cross-functional teams

• Proven track record of successfully leading product launches

Preferred Qualifications:

• MD and specialist accreditation preferred aligned with the core therapeutic areas of Cardiovascular or Endocrine and Metabolic with relevant clinical experience

• Experience successfully partnering with real word evidence experts to clearly define unmet need and demonstrate comparative efficiency as well as have existing positive relationships with external experts to advance patient care

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.
