At AstraZeneca, it's our patients that come first, every decision we make and action we take is centred around how we can better serve them. It's why we are shaping patient care for the future, working along the whole experience to give hope to billions of lives across the world. Do you want to join us on our journey?

What We Do

At Patient Centered Science (PCS), our purpose is to generate impactful evidence about patient outcomes, experiences, behaviors and preferences. We have the mission to identify, measure, understand and communicate meaningful patient outcomes and experiences of disease and treatment, with the vision to positively impact lives by amplifying the patient voice in healthcare decision-making. We seek to identify, understand, and measure meaningful aspects of health grounded in patient experiences including symptoms, function, and health-related quality of life. Using qualitative and quantitative methods and research, PCS supports a patient-focused drug development by identifying what is important from a patient perspective, how to best capture those patient experiences by selecting, modifying or developing Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) and other Clinical Outcome Assessments (COA), to serve the needs of patients, as well as regulators, payers and health-care professionals.

We are now looking for a PCS Director to join our team at one of our vibrant strategic R&D centers in Gothenburg, Sweden or Gaithersburg, US.

What You'll Do

As a PCS Director you will set and lead project-level and therapeutic area-level PRO and patient experience strategies. You will direct execution of these strategies to deliver high-quality evidence supporting products' regulatory approval, commercialization, and reimbursement. Your contributions and accountabilities will include, but will not be limited to, the following:

* Drive patient-focused drug development so that the patient experience of disease and treatment is considered throughout drug development and clinical practice, and generate practice-changing evidence to better meet patient needs
* Develop and deliver project and therapeutic area PCS strategies (eg, understanding patient experience of disease and treatment and how to best measure with PRO/COA; contributing to target product profiles and target product claims) to meet regulatory, payer, health care provider/system, and patient needs
* Lead evidence generation to support PRO/COAs being fit-for purpose, including the selection and modification of available PROs/COAs, and the development of new PRO/COA instruments and endpoints
* Ensure PCS strategy is implemented through cross-functional collaborations in clinical trials and medical evidence studies through authorship and reviews of clinical study protocols, statistical analysis plans, psychometric analysis plans, and results interpretation and reports
* Lead interactions with health authorities and health agencies through development of PRO/COA evidence dossiers and briefing packages
* Disseminate PCS-related evidence in scientific publications, internal and external presentations (eg posters and presentations at congresses), and in lay summaries to patients and other stakeholders
* Drive methodological innovations that advance patient-centered science through internal and external partnerships and collaboration

Essential for the role

* Masters degree in relevant field (outcomes research, health services research, epidemiology, health policy or related fields)
* 5 years experience in the biopharmaceutical industry
* Relevant experience of developing and implementing patient-centered science strategies
* Experience of conducting background research, landscape assessments, and literature reviews, and applying qualitative and quantitative research methods
* Knowledge and experience of clinical development and real-world evidence
* Experience of cross-functional collaboration and leading without authority

Desirable for the role

* Doctoral degree in relevant field preferred
* Participating in external partnership
* Experience of regulatory and health agency interactions
* Experience of working with vaccines and immune therapies

So, what's next?

Join a talented and agile team that focus on what really matters. We're inspired by the direct link between what we do, how this helps to accelerate the business and, ultimately, how this benefits peoples' lives across the world.

Are you already imagining yourself joining us? Good, because we can't wait to hear from you.
