Some jobs will be moved to the company’s Cambridge headquarters, but AstraZeneca said others will be shifted to new offices in other countries, where staff costs will be lower.

AZ said it was “committed to improving efficiency, simplifying processes and driving cost-effectiveness as we sharpen our focus on delivering our strategy to return to growth”.
 
“As part of this global process, in the UK, the plan is to move some finance roles from Alderley Park to either our new headquarters and science centre in Cambridge or to newly created regional centres (Costa Rica, Kuala Lumpur and Warsaw) over the next two years,” it said.
 

“The overall impact in terms of numbers of employees will only become clear once the consultation period has finished and employees have taken their own decisions.

“Employees globally have been briefed on these changes and individual employee consultations will now begin for impacted individuals. Naturally these discussions will remain confidential.”

AstraZeneca said the changes were part of efforts to shore up the company’s finances as it wrestles with a 13% drop in profit in the first nine months of 2016 to $4.7bn (£3.69bn).
