JOB TITLE: SENIOR ANALYST

CAREER LEVEL: D2

Who we are:

The Global Business Service (GBS) team sits within Finance at AstraZeneca and is a dynamic and results-oriented environment and provides a range of enterprise-wide services. We dare to change the way we work by freeing up the business to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines. We aim to do this by freeing up time, freeing up money, protecting AZ’s value and providing new capabilities. We deliver our services through seven key service lines: Global Finance Services (GFS), Process Solutions, Productivity Initiatives, Global Commercial Operations (GCO), Global Assurance and Reporting Services (GARS), Global Analytics and Automation services (GAA) and our GBS Data Office (GDO).

Strategic Field Operations (SFO) is the next exciting GBS expansion into field operations. This newly formed GBS team represents a coordinated effort across GCO and GDO to develop an inhouse alternative to a previously vendor led service, initially serving the US market with intent to expand globally in the future. Strategically shifting SFO services inhouse over time will help enable the company’s vision by freeing up time and resources, protecting AZ value and providing a path to new capabilities.

What we do:

A trusted partner to the business, we’re on a mission to make AstraZeneca more agile, efficient and effective. Through our hybrid model of in-house delivery centres and service towers across the globe, we’re reimagining how we work. Here we drive new ways of working and operating models, process simplification and innovative solutions, whilst ensuring that automation and data is at the heart of everything.

How we do it:

Be part of a team building a community. We interact with diverse cultures and perspectives and are united by our sense of belonging. This is the place to learn and grow together.

Why we love it:

• As a growing multi-national company, there’s so much potential to develop. Embrace opportunities at a global business that’s facing new and varied challenges. This is the place to build an exemplary, international CV.

• A fun place to be, we’re creating community hubs that build partnerships, not just working relationships.

• We’re on an exciting journey to take our team to the next stage. This is the place to leave a legacy behind.
