We provide potentially life-changing treatment options and life-saving vaccine protection to millions of people globally, while putting sustainability and social responsibility at the center of our ambitions.

Sanofi has recently embarked on a vast and ambitious digital transformation program. A cornerstone of this roadmap is the acceleration of its data transformation and of the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions, to accelerate R&D, manufacturing, and commercial performance and bring better drugs and vaccines to patients faster, to improve health and save lives. A cornerstone of this program is the acceleration of the digitalization of the research and development (R&D) processes and the continuous improvement of its R&D tools and other solutions. The acceleration of the adoption of digitalization, automation, and advanced data analytics and machine learning solutions is indeed widely anticipated to help the corporation’s R&D organizations to gain differentiating insights and make better, data-driven decisions, to derisk and accelerate its end-to-end R&D processes and, ultimately, to bring better drugs and vaccines faster to the market and therefore improve and save more lives.

In this context, Sanofi is recruiting a “Digital R&D GRA Technical Lead” under the GRA Digital Regulatory Policy, Planning, and Tracking Service Line.
