Our scale, strong connections within health ecosystems across the world, and ability to leverage Sanofi’s capabilities make us the best place to push the boundaries of medicine through technology.

The Digital Manufacturing & Supply organization has established a dedicated team to cover MSAT & Engineering at the same level as Quality, Manufacturing & Supply Chain.

Sanofi Global MSAT (Manufacturing Sciences, Analytics, and Technology) acts as a crucial link between R&D and Manufacturing facilities, playing a vital role in securing the current portfolio and delivering future launches of high-quality and innovative drugs and vaccines.

One of the key priorities is to be able to launch 3 to 5 new products annually across various modalities, enabling us to reach and serve more patients and communities.

We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We’re also a company where you can flourish and grow your career, with countless opportunities to explore, make connections, and stretch the limits of what you thought was possible. Ready to get started?

About Growing with us

Manufacturing and Supply (M&S) is an essential link between R&D and patients, whether we talk about the production of active ingredients, drugs & vaccines, delivery devices, or distribution to customers (wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals). The patient is at the heart of the industrial strategy. Performance translates into quality medicines produced in our factories by proud and committed teams.

As the LEDP platform functional lead, you will play a critical role in driving the implementation and management of Sanofi's M&S Launch activities, to secure our future product launches.
