Working closely with cross-functional partners, you will bring clarity, urgency and precision to a complex market.

This position is designed for impact from day one. Expect four days per week in the field building relationships and driving performance, and one day focused on planning, learning and project work.

• Customer Engagement and Omnichannel Impact: Build trusted, long-term relationships with oncologists and wider care teams. Deliver relevant, personalized engagements across face-to-face, digital and omnichannel channels.

• Oncology Knowledge and Cross-Functional Collaboration: Maintain deep understanding of disease biology, treatment pathways, our medicines and the competitive landscape. Communicate approved scientific and product information clearly. Partner with Brand, Medical, Market Access and Diagnostics to align opportunities and execute launches and strategic initiatives with excellence.
• Compliance and Professional Standards: Conduct all activities in line with AstraZeneca’s Code of Ethics, policies, local regulations and industry standards. Uphold integrity, transparency and professionalism in every interaction.
• Immediate to Long-Term Impact: In your first 90 days, establish a sharp territory plan, map priority accounts and secure early wins. Over time, shape pathway adoption, enable successful indications and launches, and contribute to repeatable commercial excellence across the portfolio.
