About the Job



Sanofi has currently the best and more robust pipeline of R&D and consequent new launches of our history.

As part of GTMC, vision of the Omnichannel pillar is the definition of Sanofi-wide best-in-class omnichannel engagement strategy, incl. development of standards & best practices across markets and brand teams, as well as executional planning and support of local omnichannel approaches (incl. change management); GTMC will also collaborate closely with Digital to provide consistent tools.


Key dimensions - Scope & Scale:

GenAI Strategic context
We are reaching the end of a successful GenAI pilots phase - proving GenAI potential in terms of efficiency & effectiveness, and as a key enabler to reach Sanofi's ambition for best-in-class customer engagement.


Following pilots' output and learnings, we are now launching a new phase into commercial acceleration with GenAI, to upgrade our commercialization capabilities to best-in-class with GenAI and make Sanofi the leader in launches.
