But we're more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. At AstraZeneca, we are pioneering new frontiers by identifying and treating patients earlier, working towards the aim of eliminating cancer as a cause of death.

    This Process Management Lead sits within the Oncology R&D Program Management Office (PMO) and is responsible to both consult and provide direction and direct delivery of value to high priority strategic initiatives. We also work to embed growth mindset, capabilities, methods and tools to create the conditions for ongoing continuous improvement. Reporting to the Oncology R&D Chief Operating Office Head of PMO, this role will be accountable to both provide process management support directly to R&D strategic initiatives whilst also leading the deployment and of key process management capability, standard or tool across the R&D network over time.

    What you'll do:

    Lead the development and establishment of a R&D Process Management Capability.

    Accountabilities:

    Process Management Capability Build and Framework, with initial focus on key Oncology R&D/R&D transformation programs

    Define and implement a robust Process Management Framework that enables transformation programs to effectively capture agreed ways of working, including the ability to:

  • Ensure process mapping work is undertaken consistently and executed transparently.

  • Ensure processes adhere to the Enterprise Mapping Standard.
  • Review and approve the processes in line with the Enterprise Mapping Standards.
  • Ensure that processes clearly elicit their dependencies on other processes within initiatives and to other initiatives.
  • Present and Inform the R&D Process Governance Board, Business Leaders and R&D portfolios of any dependent impacts. Act as key point of contact for cross-R&D transformational program interdependencies in regard to process management – flag risks and drive discussions to inform decision-making.
  • Develop and implement a process maturity model to identify criticality and to manage improvement over time.

    • Delivery of Process Management Activities to Drive Key Transformational Programs + Oncology R&D Strategic Priorities

    Accountable for identifying R&D transformation (program specific and cross-program – all which affects functions) process area impacts to increase the visibility of the change impact.

    Accountable for interacting with and representing R&D transformation process management on the cross-R&D transformation PMO (aligned to the Oncology R&D PMO) to ensure process implementation or augmentation is managed consistently.

    • Benefits Management Framework For In Scope Programs (in partnership with R&D Transformation Productivity Lead)

    With R&D Transformation Productivity Lead, define and implement a robust Benefits framework (with focus on benefits derived via process updates and refinements) that identifies, defines and realises the value of transformational programs, including the ability to:

  • Ensure program benefits are defined consistently.
  • Ensure program benefits reflect program delivery and adoption plans.
  • Ensure program benefits remain up to date throughout the lifecycle of a program.
  • Ensure visibility of program benefits across the portfolio.
  • Ensure the benefits framework enables programs to pass ownership of defined benefits collaboratively to business users. Ensure program benefits can be tracked (during the program and in Business-as-Usual activities)

    • Expected Outcomes:

    Process management is embedded into standard program activities and R&D ways of working are captured consistently, governed effectively, and reflect the interactions with existing or in development ways of working – focusing on in scope programs to start.

    KPI management (in partnership with key roles across the business) is embedded into standard program activities and R&D performance indicators are captured consistently, governed effectively, provide insights into performance and drive continuous improvement in Business-as-Usual activities over time.

    In partnership with R&D Transformation Productivity Lead, benefits management is embedded into standard program activities and R&D can define and track the value of its transformational activities.
