Your expertise will ensure our projects adhere to Good Clinical and Pharmacovigilance Practice and regulatory requirements. Are you up for the challenge?
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.

You will also ensure experienced input to all elements of design and interpretation, including efficient use of tools and methodology (e.g. modelling and simulation). You will provide leadership to support project discussions with governance boards, including interactions with Patient Safety Peer Review Committee. You will lead the safety strategy for regulatory communication and provide oversight of higher-level documents to support submission activities. Lastly, you will lead medico-scientific contributions to RMPs for assigned products and to Periodic Reports, including PBRERs, DSURs.
More broadly you are expected to participate in advisory discussions to support other Patient Safety teams in the development of their safety strategy and may be asked to represent Patient Safety in cross-functional discussions with internal and external collaborators.
Essential For The Role
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. An inclusive culture that champions diversity and collaboration, and always committed to lifelong learning, growth and development. We’re on an exciting journey to pioneer the future of healthcare.
