Why is Procurement so important at AstraZeneca?
Every year, we spend more than $9bn on goods and services, globally. Pressures on healthcare costs around the world and the rise of generic medicines mean the drive to get the best value from every AstraZeneca dollar has never been stronger.
Our challenge, as a team of procurement professionals, is to deliver outstanding value by actively managing our spend to ensure we can focus our resources on discovering innovative new medicines for patients, ensuring our sustainable success.
AstraZeneca Procurement has undergone big changes recently. We are looking for individuals to help to shape our changing culture and be part of a lean and agile procurement function, recognised for delivering a world-class service to the business.
Procurement provides the chance to gain an unparalleled view across AstraZeneca, from R&D, to manufacturing and supply, information systems and international sales and marketing. Our global reach also provides international exposure, both within the company and through our global supply base.
Opportunities exist for Category, Sourcing and Account Managers across different category areas and Capability Development Managers supporting Procurement - globally, regionally and locally.
