Join us in this opportunity as our Science & Innovation Director - New Modalities!

At AstraZeneca we’re dedicated to being a Great Place to Work. Where you are empowered to push the boundaries of science and unleash your entrepreneurial spirit. There’s no better place to make a difference to medicine, patients and society. It’s our knowledge of patients, fused with our forward-looking mindset and innovations, that helps us to spot opportunities, get involved earlier and approach access sustainably. 

 

Pharmaceutical Technology and Development (PT&D) is the organization that turns brilliant science into actual medicines that help millions of people. We work across the entire value chain, designing and delivering active ingredients, formulations and devices for new medicines and providing expert technical support to all AstraZeneca’s commercial drug substances and products to ensure we successfully supply medicines to patients. 

 

AstraZeneca has recognised that New Modalities are a cornerstone of our ambitions to develop lifechanging medicines across different Therapy Areas. PT&D has a really important role in developing these new modalities; especially overcoming the specific challenges they bring to core CMC activities. One of these challenging areas is the development of next generation commercial processes that are well controlled and cost/environmentally efficient. 

 

What you’ll do 

As a Science & Innovation Director, you will be responsible for understanding the challenges and opportunities related to synthesis of New Modalities (initially Oligonucleotides and Peptides and combinations of modalities). Through this understanding, you will identify and progress opportunities with potential transformational impact on the synthesis and manufacture of these molecules. You will establish collaborative internal & external networks to support the advancement of the scientific subject area and build a business-focused science and innovation strategy with clear ambitions and deliverables. You will proactively search for new opportunities and collaborate with external and internal partners to drive these through our Innovation Process.
