Regulatory Affairs Strategists, CVRM and RIA

AstraZeneca's pipeline of innovative medicines is consistently growing within both Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism (CVRM) and Respiratory, Inflammation and Autoimmunity (RIA) two of our major therapy areas. To meet the increasing demand of regulatory expertise, we continue to expand our regulatory functions through the recruitment of Regulatory Affairs Strategists (at Director and Senior Director level). With us, you will get the opportunity to work across the spectrum of drug development to progress a rich and diverse pipeline of both small and big molecules. You will work across disciplines in an atmosphere of collaboration and inclusion where Regulatory Affairs is a respected voice and considered an equal partner in the business.

We continue to expand our regulatory teams at AstraZeneca's dynamic R&D sites in Gothenburg, Sweden, Cambridge, UK, and Gaithersburg, US. If you are looking for a new challenge, we are offering opportunities in different disease areas and at different levels, depending on your expertise and previous experience.
