Make a meaningful impact at AstraZeneca.

At AstraZeneca, our Talent Acquisition (TAQ) team plays a pivotal role in advancing science and medicine through people. We are a passionate, purpose-driven, and high-performing team committed to attracting and enabling the best talent in the industry. As a TAQ Manager, you will be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking People & Culture organization where innovation, inclusion, and integrity are at the heart of everything we do.

This leadership role is central to our mission of building a future-ready organization. You will lead a diverse team of recruiters supporting multiple business groups – including BioPharma, Oncology, and Enabling Functions – with a strategic focus on quality of hire, diversity, hiring excellence, and candidate experience. You'll work closely with senior leaders to align talent acquisition strategy with AstraZeneca's ambitious growth and transformation goals.

What You'll Do

Strategic Leadership & Business Partnership

  • Act as a trusted TA partner to senior business leaders, enabling hiring aligned with AstraZeneca's science-led strategy and commercial excellence.
  • Translate workforce plans into proactive and diverse hiring strategies that support current and future talent needs.
  • Champion TAQ initiatives tied to AstraZeneca's People Strategy – including Employer Branding, Talent Market Intelligence, DE&I, Early Talent, and Succession Planning.

Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead, coach, and inspire a team of high-performing recruiters (internal and contract) with a culture of ownership, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
  • Build team capability in market engagement, hiring manager consulting, and recruitment operations.
  • Set clear priorities and performance goals, and support team members' growth through structured feedback and development planning.
  • Drive Operational & Hiring Excellence

  • Ensure delivery against key performance indicators – time to fill, candidate and hiring manager experience , quality of hire, and DE&I targets.
  • Drive process improvements, talent analytics, and adoption of digital tools, ensuring consistent use of Workday and local TAQ dashboards.
  • Introduce scalable practices to improve recruiter productivity and data accuracy, enabling real-time reporting and leadership visibility.
  • Diversity, Innovation & Data-Led Insights

  • Champion diversity hiring with differentiated strategies for sales, commercial, and enabling functions.
  • Use market insights and data to influence hiring strategies, identify gaps, and drive continuous improvement.
  • Encourage adoption of digital tools and AI to enable talent insights, sourcing effectiveness, and enhanced candidate journeys.
  • Collaborate Globally & Deliver Locally

  • Partner with regional and global TAQ teams to support enterprise-wide initiatives, share best practices, and deliver integrated talent solutions.
  • Represent India TAQ in global forums, bringing local insights and innovation to global programs.
  • What You'll Bring

  • 12+ years of progressive recruitment experience, with at least 4–6 years in a leadership role.
  • Demonstrated success in leading talent acquisition teams in fast-paced, matrixed environments.
  • Proven ability to partner with senior leadership and influence at the executive level.
  • Experience recruiting across commercial and enabling functions; prior exposure to science or healthcare sectors is a plus.
  • Strong track record in driving inclusive hiring, workforce diversity, and talent insights.
  • Proficiency in recruitment technology platforms (Workday preferred) and dashboard / reporting tools.
  • Strategic mindset with a passion for developing people and delivering results.
  • A commitment to AstraZeneca values : We follow the science, we put patients first, we play to win, we do the right thing, we are entrepreneurial.
  • Why Join Us

    At AstraZeneca, we unlock the power of what science can do by bringing together talented people who are determined to make a difference. You'll join an organization that values bold thinking, takes smart risks, and empowers individuals to be their best.

    Join us in creating a lasting impact – where your work truly matters.
