AstraZeneca is a global, science-led biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and commercializes prescription medicines primarily in oncology, cardiovascular, renal, and metabolism (CVRM), and respiratory & immunology. Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, the company operates in over 100 countries, with a workforce of more than 90,000 employees worldwide. Known for its pipeline of innovative therapies, AstraZeneca also invests heavily in technologies like AI and digital health through its Evinova health-tech unit, which is central to several open roles in Spain.

Company History

AstraZeneca was created in 1999 through the merger of the Swedish Astra AB and the UK-based Zeneca Group. The company has since grown into a top-10 global pharma, with major therapy area franchises and notable successes like the COVID-19 vaccine Vaxzevria, developed with Oxford University.

For International Professionals

  • AstraZeneca maintains its global headquarters in Cambridge, UK; however, the Spain subsidiary, AstraZeneca España, is a major affiliate that contributes significantly to global R&D, especially in clinical development and regulatory affairs.
  • Madrid is the centre for AstraZeneca's Spanish operations, with many of the open roles in Spain tied to global and European functions rather than purely domestic sales.
  • Offers a strong relocation package and equity-tracking healthcare environment, while maintaining a culture that supports flexible and hybrid working.
  • For international professionals, the roles often involve working in global and multicultural teams, with English as the primary working language.
  • AstraZeneca is known for its commitment to sustainability, with public goals around carbon neutrality and diversity, adding to its appeal for like-minded professionals.
