Job Title: VP & General Manager United Kingdom & Ireland
Location: London, UK
Introduction to role:
Join us as the VP & General Manager for the United Kingdom & Ireland at Alexion, a division of Astra Zeneca. In this role, you will be responsible for our operations in the UK and Ireland market, contributing to the value creation and strategic development of the company in all aspects: scientific, medical, marketing, market access and governmental affairs. You will lead a cross-functional market team, driving employee engagement and playing a key role in talent development.
Accountabilities:
As the VP & General Manager, you will be responsible for achieving annual budget targets, leading the implementation of business plan objectives and strategies within the UK and Ireland. You will act as the lead person for national reimbursement processes, develop and maintain an effective internal and external network, and ensure that activities under your responsibility align with company policies and procedures. You will also be responsible for attracting, developing, and retaining top talent for the UK & Ireland market.
Essential Skills/Experience:
When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
We are driven by our mission to bring patients closer. We are built to serve patients, with everything we do led by their lived experience. Our closeness to patients brings us closer to our work and closer to each other. Joining our team means embracing an opportunity where work isn’t ordinary. We are a beacon in the global Biopharmaceutical landscape, with a rapidly expanding portfolio and an energizing culture where people build connections to explore new ideas and learn. Here, your career is not just a path, but a journey to making a difference where it truly counts.
