We've grown to be one of the leading players in the global pharmaceutical industry by providing the support, challenges, opportunities and rewards that can help make your ambitions a reality.

There's a great deal to explore at AstraZeneca. We have research and manufacturing sites in more than 25 countries, sales in over 100 and an annual turnover in excess of  $21 billion. Our 64,000 strong team works across international and technical boundariesto create innovative treatments for some of the most significant and serious medical conditions.

In recent years, we've had breakthroughs in all our key therapy areas including high-potential therapies for cancer, gastrointestinal disease, asthma, hypertension, high cholesterol, migraine and schizophrenia. Each of these new drugs was not only a remarkable scientific, commercial and professional achievement it was also an event that profoundly impacted on patient's quality of life.

The future looks set to be just as exciting. Every year we spend $3.8 billion on researching new medicines, a level of investment that has given us one of the strongest product pipelines in the industry. As new technology revolutionises the drug discovery, development and delivery process, the next few years will see a new era of growth, change and opportunity right across the business.
