AMGEN LOCATIONS IN THE UK & IRELAND READ MORE OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR PEOPLE We invest in our people, supporting them to realise their career aspirations and rewarding them for their hard work through competitive compensation and benefits packages. We are incredibly proud of our diversity and breadth of talent across all the different roles our people perform to serve patients. MEET OUR PEOPLE Russell Abberley Executive Director and General Manager, UK & Ireland “I joined Amgen in 2018 having done a range of sales and marketing roles at UK, European and Global level, and since 2018 the path to my current Amgen role has involved heading up both the General Medicine and later also the Biosimilars business in the UK. As my responsibilities expanded so did my understanding of what makes Amgen such a great place to pursue a career and make a difference – the opportunity to define success for ourselves and stretch into experiences that push us to fulfil our potential. Now, as Executive Director and General Manager of the UK and Ireland Affiliate, my role is to lead and inspire a cross- functional organisation responsible for enabling patient access in both countries. It’s an incredibly exciting role and a privilege to work with so many people who are motivated by Amgen’s mission to serve patients – not just the core ‘engine’ of the business in sales, marketing, access and medical, but all those functions that surround that operation to enable our growth and make the customer experience the best it can be. Our community is unique in that alongside the affiliate we also have a large presence of R&D teams and corporate functions, with us all working collaboratively to ensure we build a compelling evidence base for our medicines that leads to successful approvals and ultimately patient access. “With a shared culture of empowerment and ‘high trust, high challenge’ across all parts of the business, we work together to lead the business forwards, and are hugely optimistic about the future and the potential impact our work can have on the lives of millions of people. CHRIS WALKER VP Regulatory Affairs “I joined Amgen in 2005 and have held several regulatory affairs roles at the company. The UK is Amgen Europe’s largest Hub for R&D, and as the Head of Regulatory Affairs for Europe, co-lead of R&D for Europe, and the Head of R&D for the UK Sites, I have the privilege of working alongside hundreds of talented and committed colleagues in the UK and Ireland, and many more who are based regionally and globally. We collaborate cross-functionally in the relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that reach patients, with our diverse teams in research and development, the commercial affiliate, and our corporate functions, putting everything into the work they do each day to dramatically change people’s lives. Innovation and science really drive the Amgen culture and we are inspired by a collective mission to serve patients. For me personally that involves having responsibility for developing and executing our regional regulatory affairs strategy and working closely with the medical R&D team to contribute to the advancement of Amgen’s portfolio. I also partner with the head of the UK and Ireland affiliate, and regional and global leadership, to inspire our people through employee-led engagement activities that aim to create a community feel to our company. It’s a role that I find hugely rewarding and I believe that all of us at the company have a part to play in shaping the future for Amgen and for patients.” THOMAS COOK Corporate Affairs, UK & Ireland “I have an incredibly varied role spanning external communications and employee engagement, delivering communications activities that support key business priorities and Amgen’s excellent corporate social responsibility programs. Before joining Amgen, I thought very carefully about what I wanted from my next role. Most importantly, I wanted to join a company whose mission I believe in. I also wanted the opportunity to grow professionally, and to be part of something that makes a meaningful contribution to society. From day one I’ve been impressed by the collaborative spirit here. There’s a real sense of teamwork, with everybody working towards a common goal to serve patients.” Shagufta Ahmad Executive Director, European Regulatory Affairs “I’m an Executive Director in the Regulatory Affairs function, leading the oncology therapeutic area. This involves working with a team of talented staff to navigate our products through the complex regulatory framework in Europe, with the aim of bringing our medicines to patients. Maximising the full potential of our pipeline requires close collaboration with multiple teams who share the common goal of serving patients. In addition to ensuring the successful development of the pipeline, I’m an active member of ‘Amgen’s Full Potential’- a global programme designed to improve a wide range of areas across Amgen – through supporting our patient centricity efforts to best integrate the patient voice in all that we do. I’m also fortunate that, in addition to my ‘day-job,’ I’m, a member of the leadership team which, along with numerous volunteers across our business, works to build an inspired employee community. I enjoy being part of the culture at Amgen, learning about the advances in science, working with talented colleagues, and being able to contribute to the diversity of opportunities and challenges that arise from bringing new medicines to market.” ODRAN POWER Business Unit Manager, General Medicine Ireland “My role focuses on two main areas, the coaching and development of our existing talented sales team to fulfil their potential, and working with relevant stakeholders to ensure all appropriate patients can benefit from Amgen’s medicines in Ireland. Amgen has always encouraged and enabled me to improve through providing the framework and tools necessary to ensure success within my current role and a clear development pathway for potential future roles. This development experience has ignited a personal passion for coaching and mentoring others. I love the fast-paced environment as our Irish organisation continues to evolve which has given me scope to expand my role to now include marketing responsibilities. I enjoy networking and working in partnership with European colleagues, it is a great opportunity to learn from the best and to leverage best practice; the next great idea is always only a conversation away. But most of all, I enjoy and appreciate the ’can do’ attitude and the never-ending pursuit of operational excellence.” VIDEOS RECENT JOB OPPORTUNITIES View All Jobs JOB ID JOB TITLE LOCATION POSTED DATE R-132757 Sr Associate Tech Engineer - 12 month Fixed Term Contract Dublin, Dublin, IE Dec 3, 2021 View Job R-121472 Sr. Associate Warehouse - 24 month FTC Dublin, Dublin, IE Dec 3, 2021 View Job R-133766 Specialist Information Systems Engineer Dublin, Dublin, IE Dec 3, 2021 View Job 1 2 3 4 5 6 > >> INTRODUCTION OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR PEOPLE MEET OUR PEOPLE VIDEOS RECENT JOB OPPORTUNITIES About Overview The Amgen Difference Quick Facts Mission and Values Leadership Awards and Accolades How We Operate Amgen History Science Overview Research and Development Strategy Pipeline Scientific Advisory Boards Amgen Science Clinical Trials Manufacturing Biosimilars Products Overview Medical Information Global Patient Safety Counterfeit Drug Statement Safety Data Sheets Responsibility Overview Amgen’s Commitment to Patients 2019 Responsibility Highlights Report Amgen Foundation Our Approach to Pricing, Access and Affordability Access to Medicine Diversity and Inclusion Environment Supplier Sustainability Grants and Giving Safety and Wellness Investors Media Partners Stay Connected × Special Advisory: Please be cautious of scam recruitment offers claiming to be from Amgen.
