• Maintain strong clinical and therapy-area expertise to deliver credible, informed customer engagement.
• Operate to the highest standards of compliance, working within AstraZeneca governance, SLAs, SOPs and the ABPI Code of Practice.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced pharmaceutical professional to play a key role in the launch of a brand-new Primary Care team. Bringing strong commercial acumen and a deep understanding of the NHS, you'll identify opportunities, navigate local healthcare priorities and build trusted relationships across your accounts. Combining customer insight with strategic account planning, you'll identify opportunities, build stakeholder relationships and deliver effective account plans that support both business objectives and local healthcare priorities.
