About the job

As Global Inclusion Lead within our Inclusion Center of Excellence, you'll be the architect of operational excellence for Sanofi's inclusion strategy, translating bold vision into executable plans and driving measurable impact across our enterprise. Ready to get started?

At Sanofi, inclusion isn't an initiative—it's a business capability that turns breakthrough science into real-world impact. Our culture is shaped through the experiences we create every day for our employees, grounded in the belief that when people feel valued, respected, and supported, they can do their best work in service of patients. An inclusive workplace fuels inclusive innovation, creating medicines that truly match our patients' realities: their anatomies, their needs, their daily lives, their languages, their cultures. When we understand the full human context, our science doesn't just work in the lab—it works in the world.

Our Inclusion Strategy has three pillars: Patients (building fairness for all in healthcare), People (making inclusion everyone's business), and Places (setting new standards for accessibility). You'll operationalize these pillars across every function, market, and stage of our value chain, from R&D to manufacturing to delivery.
