  • Act as a scientific leader in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, identifying clinical trends, evidence gaps and opportunities where AstraZeneca can make a distinctive contribution.
  • Co-create initiatives that improve treatment pathways and address barriers across the patient journey.

• Mobilise the organisation
  • Work as one team with Medical Affairs, Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, Market Access, Commercial and Regulatory Affairs to shape product development, evidence generation, regulatory strategies and access planning.
  • Provide feed-back to clinical-trial design, feasibility and site engagement to strengthen recruitment, retention and delivery in clinical trials.
  • Create clarity and momentum across stakeholders, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
• Generate evidence through innovation
  • Identify and advance high-value opportunities within Externally Sponsored Research and Open Innovation programs that can generate real-world evidence, deepen clinical insight and accelerate progress in immunological diseases.
    

What you bring:

• The credibility and communication skills to make complex science clear, relevant and compelling for internal and external stakeholders.
• A collaborative, enterprise mindset and the confidence to influence across functions and organizational boundaries.

• Sound knowledge of Medical Affairs, regulatory principles and the medicine-development lifecycle.
• Fluency in Swedish and English.
• Valid driver’s license as this is a field-based role.
  

Qualifications and experience that will help you succeed:

• An advanced degree such as MSc, MD or PhD in a relevant scientific or medical field.
