About This Role
Introduction To Role
The International region is AstraZeneca’s largest, most diverse and fastest-growing region, representing around one-third of total company revenue.
Spanning more than 90 countries across five continents, it covers over 70% of the world’s population.
International is not “Rest of World” — it is “Most of World” — and with that scale comes a profound responsibility to patients, as the burden of non-communicable disease and mortality is disproportionately high across our markets.
International is a critical growth engine for AstraZeneca, delivering double-digit growth across all therapy areas and playing a central role in the company’s future success.
We operate in a complex, rapidly evolving environment — and we are doubling down on growth and pipeline delivery to make Ambition 2030 a reality in International.
At the heart of this is how we use AI, digital and data to transform our company, accelerate our science and maximize our impact for patients.
