Introduction to role:

This role is based in Barcelona, with an on-site commitment of three days a week. Fluency in English is required.

Are you ready to turn evolving general regulations into decisions that speed life-changing medicines to patients? Do you thrive at the intersection of science, policy, and strategy, translating complex external change into clear actions that shape development and access?

In this role, you will guide how we navigate a fast-shifting environment across evidence generation, clinical trial innovation, and market access—so our therapies reach the right patients earlier. You will connect external policy signals to internal priorities, helping teams anticipate change, reduce risk, and seize opportunity. Your work will directly influence the design and delivery of programs that aim to transform outcomes in cancer, bringing earlier detection and treatment strategies to more patients worldwide.

You will partner with global, regional, and functional leaders to build aligned positions, shape consultation responses, and coordinate engagement with regulators,



health technology assessment bodies, and industry networks. This is a chance to lead with clarity, build consensus, and drive impact across a high-ambition portfolio.

Accountabilities:

• Monitor, analyse, and interpret emerging legislation, regulations, guidance, regulatory practices, health-system reforms, HTA developments, and industry trends across priority markets.
• Translate external developments into clear implications, risks, opportunities, dependencies, and recommended actions for AstraZeneca’s clinical development, evidence-generation, regulatory, market access, data, manufacturing, and business priorities.
• Assess policy developments extending beyond medicines regulators, including those involving agencies responsible for research, healthcare delivery, reimbursement, health information, data standards, and public–private clinical trial infrastructure.
