When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we ignite 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 high‑reaching world.

Here, you will help bring modern digital capabilities to the heart of a science‑led company, connecting diverse experts to solve complex problems that matter to patients. Backed by serious investment and a clear digital strategy, you will experiment with groundbreaking tools, build reusable solutions that scale across the enterprise and see your ideas tested in hackathons and real‑world programs. We move with urgency and high standards, yet we value kindness alongside ambition—offering the freedom to take ownership, learn continuously and deliver technology that unlocks the potential of our science and our people.
