Through agility and supplier collaboration, we are delivering sustainable growth that protects employees, patients and society.


Introduction to role:


Join AstraZeneca's award-winning Procurement function and growing Biologics business unit, where you will assume responsibility for assigned spend with major site suppliers.

Located within our second largest Drug Substance manufacturing plant in Speke, Liverpool, you will be part of a site going through an exciting period of change and responsible for global delivery of up to 20 million Flu vaccine doses each year.

This role is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact on people's lives with life-changing medicines

As a Procurement Specialist, you will develop and manage business relationships with key suppliers, overseeing the procurement process and monitoring business spend against budgeted savings.

You will also be responsible for developing and maintaining Supply Agreements for your allocated area.

You will forge strong working relationships with your peers in the Global Procurement Organisation to identify and lead improvement initiatives and project teams in support of longer-term business strategy.

  • Supplier Management experience

Desirable Skills/Experience:

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash 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 ambitious world.

At AstraZeneca, we are driven by our commitment to deliver accelerated growth and to make people's lives better. We thrive in our often intense and ambiguous environment, seeking out new challenges and working towards new solutions. We are part of an inclusive and giving community, supporting each other on our journeys.

We are intellectually stimulated by constant learning and there's potential for multiple, global careers and great rewards, for those who embrace the diverse opportunities.


Are you ready to make a positive impact, in a team where it means more? Are you motivated by the opportunity to break new ground and leave a shared legacy? If you have the passion and the drive to accelerate growth and make people's lives better, then this is the place for you.
