Would you like to use your drug safety or pharmacovigilance experience to make a difference to the lives of millions of patients across the world? If you would, please read on!
At AstraZeneca, we work together to deliver innovative medicines to patients across global boundaries. We make an impact and find solutions to challenges. We do this with integrity, even in the most difficult situations, because we are committed to doing the right thing.
This is an opportunity to further develop your pharmacovigilance (PV) experience in safety programmes, spanning the entire life cycle of drug development and peri-/post-submission.
Our Scientists and Physicians play a strategic role in developing our medicines and the safety science of the programme. AstraZeneca's oncology pipeline, which includes novel combinations and modalities, provides an intellectual challenge to the safety teams, requiring a broad portfolio and scientific management approach to projects. Our teams' experience develops as our portfolio does.
We are looking for an experienced Associate Director, Patient Safety (PS) Scientist to join our Patient Safety department, working in the Oncology Therapeutic Area. In this exciting and challenging role, you will work collaboratively with the Global Safety Physician (GSP) and other PV Scientists and physicians, including coaching junior colleagues. You will play a leading role in delivering the safety strategy and requirements for your assigned drug project(s). Your ability to work collaboratively will facilitate cross-functional interactions with colleagues from across AstraZeneca and externally, including counterparts within Clinical Project Teams, Global Regulatory Affairs, and Global Commercial teams.
As an Associate Director, PS Scientist, you will provide leadership in aggregating, reviewing,
analysing and interpreting safety-related data to generate information to support safety decision-making by prescribers, patients and payers, with the ultimate goal of protecting patients. You will apply your strong PV, oncology and scientific experience, knowledge and skills to lead in all aspects of safety documentation, including authoring and / or providing strategic safety input to regulatory documents, e.g., regulatory reports, health authority responses and the safety content of marketing authorisation applications.
Patient Safety sits within the Chief Medical Office, where we have a crucial role to play. This is an exciting period for us, as well as for those poised to join us.
Our strategy and ability to transform our medicines portfolio means we have a drug-development pipeline that presents incredible opportunities to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines. Faced with complex disease challenges, we focus on exceptional performance to drive the best and most transformative drug development programmes ever.
