At AstraZeneca, our global Inclusion & Diversity strategy emphasises the importance of inclusive leadership. We foster a culture where people feel empowered and safe to speak up, but we don’t standardise our approach. Here, our teams have the freedom to determine how they drive inclusion, creating a better experience for all our colleagues. Our agenda is flexible and our mission is strong: remove barriers and liberate minds.

As an inclusive employer, we practise what we preach by involving our entire company in the design and delivery of our 2025 strategy. From key decision making to having a say on our collaborative growth, discussions go beyond senior level. That’s how we put our best foot forward.

In AstraZeneca UK, we have an incredible project pipeline and an impressive determination to use that pipeline as a means to improve lives, together. With a 7,400-strong team of spirited colleagues across seven UK sites, we’re mixing collaboration with entrepreneurship to bring better medicines to people all over the world.

With brand-new development and investment being put into our global scientific research, we’re growing our capabilities as a supplier of life-changing medicine. In the UK, our new research facilities and global corporate headquarters in Cambridge will allow us to expand our R&D work – now and in the future. And, with 50 different medicines produced in our Macclesfield site, vital biologics work taking place in Speke, marketing for UK, Europe and beyond in Luton, and a variety of functions in our other three sites, this is where you can do what you love, while making a big impact.
