Digital Product Owner

At Sanofi, we’re committed to transform the practice of medicine through break-through science. Within Sanofi, Manufacturing & Supply (M&S) is the bridge between Science and Patients, ensuring all patients get their dose reliably, that new medicines are launched faster to cover unmet needs and that they can be delivered affordably across the globe. At Sanofi we are convinced that Manufacturing is, and must in the future increasingly be, a competitive advantage and that digital unlocks every next step in that journey. Join our Digital M&S Accelerator team as Product Owner and you can help make it happen. 

Your job? As a Product Owner, you will be a senior leader and act as a mini-CEO for digital products, co-defining product strategy with M&S leadership, planning product roadmap, driving product delivery with delivery teams, and measuring/optimizing business impact. 

Sanofi Manufacturing & Supply is the most extraordinary playground you can imagine. The world of drug development and advanced manufacturing with opportunities for real-world AI is one of the most fascinating places to be in digital today and biomanufacturing puts an additional twist of challenge working with biological living processes and saving people’s lives. 

You will deliver capabilities to our 40 factories spread across five continents. You will work with real-time IOT data from hundreds of manufacturing lines with leading edge production and laboratory equipment. You will help secure one of the strongest new treatment pipelines in the biopharma industry. And you will serve thousands of extraordinary scientists, process engineers, manufacturing engineers, manufacturing operators and quality experts who are convinced that digital is the path to become a best-in-class organization. 

We have established the Digital M&S Accelerator as a dedicated agile organization to deliver High Value Digital Products focused primarily on accelerating launches and creating best in class digitalized factories we call Lighthouses. The ambition is first to secure the pipeline of new treatment launches, successfully launching yearly 3 to 5 new blockbuster medicines (peak yearly revenue of 1 billion euros) where delays have multi-million euros impact and second to deliver manufacturing performance driving cost of goods reduction of more than 500 million euros over the next five years.

We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives.
