Here, employees are empowered to express diverse perspectives and are made to feel valued, energized and rewarded for their ideas and creativity.

Pharmaceutical Technology and Development (PT&D) are the bridge, which 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 required to support new medicines - from supplies for use in early toxicology studies and clinical trials to developing the technology to ensure drugs can be scaled up for commercial manufacture.

This role is a unique opportunity to shape the future of Operations at AstraZeneca and contribute to delivering more medicines to patients, quicker and more affordably.

You will be responsible for leading the authoring and providing a significant contribution to the CMC components of regulatory submissions. You will provide expert technical input to change control and improvement activities at CMOs and internal AZ API manufacturing sites. You will represent Chemical Development as lead analyst on CMC Project delivery and Global Supply Teams. You will also coach and develop junior colleagues, supporting them in reaching their full potential.

- BSc/PhD level education in a relevant discipline

- Thorough understanding of the principles and management of SHE and cGMP
- Significant experience of delivering CMC content or contributions to regulatory filings throughout the life cycle of process or formulation analytical development, in the pharmaceutical industry
- Understanding of key analytical techniques, including NMR, chromatography and mass spectrometry

**Skills/Experience**:

- Ability to think and operate across functional boundaries
- Excellent communication and strategic influencing skills across interfaces of discipline, culture, and expertise both internally and externally
- Proven problem solver with in-depth technical skills
- Proficiency in the use of statistics to understand data

- Experience of late-stage development with a background in an analytical skill group
