AstraZeneca's SMM (Site Management & Monitoring) department is a clinical trial execution department under the Research & Development division of AstraZeneca headquarters, and manages to ensure that clinical trials are conducted properly in each country. According to the global headquarters' diversification strategy in therapeutic areas, AstraZeneca's SMM department has separated the department into oncology and non-oncology areas. Accordingly, the Korean AstraZeneca SMM department has also recently been divided into two, and the non-oncology area was launched in 2023 under the name SMM BioPharma with a new leadership team. The Korean AstraZeneca SMM BioPharma department requires many personnel to attract and conduct new research in Korea to support pipeline expansion in the non-oncology area, and is an organization with anticipated growth and development going forward. We are recruiting a full-time Study Start-Up Associate Director (SSU-AD) to grow as a clinical trial expert in the Korean AstraZeneca SMM BioPharma department, which has an even more promising future, and we welcome many applications.
