About the Opportunity

In our LUMINI Operations Graduate Programme, you will be working at AstraZeneca's "production heart" in Södertälje, which is our largest manufacturing site globally. The production here has an influential role in development and delivery of our products all over the world. This is your opportunity to work on real life-saving projects right from the beginning, supported by some of the best colleagues the industry has to offer.

We thrive in a high-tech and LEAN-based environment where we put a high value on collaboration and creatively effective solutions. At AstraZeneca, health is our business and our contribution to society. How we operate supports sustainable ecosystems for healthcare that benefit people and our planet through science-based innovation. Our two sites in Södertälje are located close to urban environments as well as the waterfront and forests. Why not start the day in our gym or end the day with your colleagues in a spinning class?

The LUMINI Operations Graduate Programme starts in September 2024. It lasts for 2 years, and you will be offered a permanent contract with AstraZeneca. The programme consists of three individual eight-month rotations in Södertälje. These rotations will provide you with insight into our world and the chance to influence the direction in which we're moving. Your rotations will be decided based on your own development plan, combined with the organisation's strategic business needs.

Our LUMINI graduates have moved into a wide variety of different roles after the programme, such as Supply Chain Project Manager, Digital Project Manager, Global Brand Planner, Quality Control Line Manager, and Finance Partner.

Here are examples of some of the areas where you could be working during the programme:

*

Production - where we produce and package pharmaceuticals
*

Project Management - driving investment projects as well as projects for the production of new products
*

Operational Excellence - is where you find our LEAN specialists, responsible for the constant development and streamlining of processes and ways of working
*

Quality - securing the quality of our pharmaceuticals and production chains
*
