At AstraZeneca, we turn ideas into life-changing medicines. Working here means being entrepreneurial, thinking big and working together with the utmost integrity to make the impossible a reality. We're passionate about the potential of science to address the unmet needs of patients around the world. We commit to those areas where we believe we can really change the course of medicine and bring big new ideas to life!

We are looking for a talented Qualified or Part-Qualified European Patent Attorney to join our IP team at our stunning campus in Gothenburg, Sweden - a site we've designed with collaboration in mind, which is the home to 2,500 employees, from 50 different nationalities.

Key objectives will be to identify and manage all associated IP risks - presenting them to IP, legal and business teams.
