About the job

This position contributes to the global planning, facilitation, and integration of patient insights & perspectives across the Sanofi pipeline. Patient insights inform pre-clinical and development stage programs about unmet need, patient sub-populations and other factors that influence patient decision making and access to care, including clinical trials.

This position is accountable for working closely with multiple internal and external stakeholders to generate, translate and communicate insight learnings for maximal impact to programs and on behalf of patients. As qualitative and quantitative data sources are expanding rapidly, this position requires excellent organizational, interpersonal and problem-solving skills in order to navigate a large matrixed set of stakeholders.

Aside from data generation and translation, the position will focus on supporting early patient-focused inclusion strategies that increase opportunities for diverse and underserved populations to more readily participate in clinical trials. Using insights and drawing on best practices, this position will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to develop early diversity & inclusion strategies. These D&I strategies will need to include capacity building recommendations that are sustainable and link to post approval access considerations for teams to establish. Strong collaborations with GPTs, CTT and local Clinical Study Unit personnel are essential for success and meaningful impact.
