Ready to push the limits of what’s possible? Join Sanofi CHC in one of our corporate functions and you can play a vital part in the performance of our entire business while helping to make an impact on millions around the world.  

Our team is engaged in designing, delivering and supporting Digital Tech Services for all CHC worldwide. 

We deliver our solutions in a highly competitive market answering FMCH needs and sometimes supporting regulated environments (GxP, SoX and other regional or local regulations). 

Our team operates in an international context, serving all markets in most of the countries around the world. 

Digital Technology & Architecture organization encompasses following capabilities: Integration, Enterprise Architecture, Operations, Cloud engineering, Platform Engineering (e.g. DevOps & related framework), Enabling Platforms (ServiceNow, Observability, Chatbots, RPA, …), Digital Workplace and more “classical” infrastructures (hosting, network, servers, …). 

As a target, Digital Workplace corresponds to following capabilities & tooling: 

• Productivity & Collaboration suite (Microsoft 365, with Office suite, Teams, Email, …) 

• Videoconferencing (Zoom, Teams) & space booking (Logitech) 

• Devices & Mobility (Windows, Mac, Workstation as a Service, mobile phones & tablets, device imaging & software deployment, Intune)
