AstraZeneca is a global, science-led, patient-focused biopharmaceutical company with a bold ambition: to eliminate cancer as a cause of death. Lung cancer sits at the center of that ambition, and our Immuno-Oncology portfolio is changing what patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can expect across stages of disease.

This role will be responsible for leading the cross-functional team, building strong relationships with key stakeholders, and delivering measurable results in one of oncology's most dynamic and competitive markets.

Bring in innovation: Identify, evaluate, and adopt new partnerships, technologies, and omnichannel approaches that improve customer engagement while identifying synergies across NSCLC indications and the broader IO portfolio to maximize impact and resource efficiency.
