Head of Data & AI Product Excellence - all genders

We're an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people's lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people's lives.

As Head of Data & AI Product Excellence within our Data & AI team, you'll define how Sanofi — and every Sanofi employee — steps into the AI-driven future: working with AI, not just being served by it. Ready to get started?

Join the digital engine driving Sanofi's transformation — where AI, automation, and bold experimentation power faster science and smarter decisions. Here, you'll help build the first biopharma company powered by AI at scale.

This is a role for a senior leader who thinks in ecosystems. You'll own the strategy and execution of Sanofi's agentic AI landscape — ensuring that capabilities built anywhere in the organisation are shared everywhere, and that no team reinvents what already exists. From the Document Factory to the GenAI & AI Agent Hub, you'll steward the flagship platforms that make AI real for thousands of colleagues across R&D, commercial, manufacturing, and beyond.

But this role is about more than platforms. It's about preparing people for what's next — scanning the AI horizon, translating emerging signals into strategic bets, and ensuring Sanofi leads rather than follows in the age of intelligent, agentic AI.

In this role you will . . .

• . . . define and lead Sanofi's enterprise strategy for agentic AI, ensuring every team builds on a shared, governed foundation rather than creating isolated solutions.
• . . . own the full lifecycle of reusable AI and data components — so proven capabilities are built once and scaled across the entire organisation.
• . . . lead two flagship platforms — Document Factory and the GenAI & AI Agent Hub — driving adoption, measuring impact, and continuously raising the bar on performance and user experience.
• . . . partner with Data & AI leaders across all business verticals to identify duplication early and guide teams toward smarter, shared investment.
• . . . stay ahead of the AI curve — tracking emerging technologies, running rapid proof-of-concepts, and translating new advances into concrete opportunities before competitors do.
• . . . collaborate with senior leadership to align priorities, govern shared investment, and ensure all platforms meet the highest standards for security, compliance, and responsible AI.

The criteria below reflect what would help someone thrive in this role. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every point — we value diverse experiences and perspectives.

• Educational background in Engineering, Data, AI, or a related field with an advanced university degree.
• Proven track record of leading data, AI, or digital product strategy at enterprise scale, with experience building and scaling shared platforms across complex organisations.
• Deep knowledge of generative AI, agentic AI architectures, and modern data platforms — with a clear understanding of responsible AI practices and relevant regulatory frameworks.
• A strategic thinker who can also execute - comfortable moving between vision-setting and hands-on delivery, and skilled at influencing senior stakeholders across functions.
• Exceptional communicator - able to translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives for any audience, from engineers to executives.
• Fluent English required.

• Own the most strategically significant AI role in Sanofi's digital transformation, with direct influence over how every business vertical builds and scales AI.
• Shape the future of human-AI collaboration at one of the world's leading biopharma companies, empowering Sanofi's people to work with AI and not just alongside it.
• Lead from Paris, at the heart of Sanofi's Digital Accelerator, partnering with senior leaders across R&D, Commercial, Manufacturing, and beyond.
• Benefit from pioneering AI partnerships with OpenAI, AQEMIA, IBM, and others, and early access to the latest foundation models and agentic frameworks.
• Join a workplace where diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core, with Employee Resource Groups and leadership programs that celebrate every voice.
