About AstraZeneca
AstraZeneca is a global, innovation‑driven biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing medicines for some of the world’s most serious diseases. We’re an inclusive, collaborative workplace where you’re empowered to push the boundaries of science and grow through lifelong learning, making a meaningful impact for patients and society.

About R&D IT and the CMC Capability
We’re building the digital, AI, and data capabilities that power AstraZeneca’s transformation, giving you the space to explore, develop, and thrive, supported by leaders who coach and invest in your growth. In Early Science, our scientists run complex experiments to advance drug discovery and development. Within this, the Chemistry, Manufacturing & Controls (CMC) capability digitizes key activities across small molecules and biologics, partnering with Research and Operations to ensure new products are safe, consistent, and ready for patients. We shape the technology and data roadmap, align to AstraZeneca’s FAIR data strategy, and deliver reusable data products on a modern stack.

What you’ll do
You’ll partner with scientific and technical teams to connect the “why” to the “how,” aligning solutions to strategy and platforms while detailing functional design from the user perspective. Typical responsibilities include discovery workshops and workflow mapping; translating scientific needs into clear, testable requirements and business cases; shaping delivery options with R&D IT Platforms and vendors; defining user journeys and functional designs; contributing to PI Planning and backlog refinement; enabling data‑informed decisions and FAIR data products; and keeping stakeholders aligned while managing scope and trade‑offs.

Essential requirements

• Strong communication and influencing skills across diverse stakeholder groups.
• Proven ability to translate scientific needs into clear IT requirements for delivery teams.
• Familiarity with agile practices and a product, user‑focused mindset.
• Experience with data pipelines and modern analytics.
• Experience in change management and process improvement.
• Proficiency with collaboration and process tools such as JIRA and Confluence, and understanding of Git and CI/CD.
• Exposure to wireframing/prototyping tools (e.g., Axure, Balsamiq, Figma).

Desirable requirements

• Understanding of life sciences R&D, ideally within CMC or adjacent domains.
• Knowledge of modern technology capabilities across data platforms, integration patterns, and cloud services.
• Familiarity with FAIR data principles and data product concepts.
• Scrum Master or Project Management certification.

Why join us?
This is a pivotal moment as we scale digital, data, and AI across R&D. You’ll help build the partnerships, platforms, and ways of working that accelerate science with speed and quality, making a tangible difference for patients worldwide.
