Why AstraZeneca...

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we fuel 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 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.

We are one of the global leaders in the development and commercialization of innovative drugs for oncologic patients. We strive every day to make a cure a reality for the millions of people living with cancer across the world.

It is through this steadfast quest for innovation that we have built one of the most diverse portfolios and pipelines in the industry.

We already have a strong presence in the areas of lung cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and haematology malignancies, where we have built a strong leadership demonstrating our scientific platforms to act on immuno-oncology targets, the DNA damage response pathway, Tumour drivers and resistance mechanisms, and Antibody-Drug conjugates, among others.

Beyond the existing portfolio, AstraZeneca is now strengthening its footprint in Breast Cancer to ensure complete patient care across different types of disease.
