Here, uniquely interesting work happens every day, in every department.

You’ll get the chance to grow and thrive through opportunities uncommon in scale and scope, alongside high-achieving teams. Take your career farther than you thought possible.

The role
What if your next role could genuinely change the way mental health and neurological conditions are treated in the UK? Not incrementally. Not theoretically.

We're looking for an exceptional medical professional to support our Psychiatry & Neuroscience portfolio - someone who sees Medical Affairs not as a support function, but as the strategic engine of meaningful change.

This role will enable the successful candidate to gain extensive experience in both launch activities and project management. You will play an instrumental role enhancing the value of the pipeline-portfolio and driving the medical performance of the company’s key growth drivers.
