About the job
At Sanofi, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the patients and families we serve, and we accomplish our goals through world-class research and with the compassion and commitment of our employees.
As we continue to transform the practice of medicine, the next chapter of Sanofi’s Play to Win strategy will require a focus on delivering transformation and simplification of our core processes, optimizing resource allocation and deployment to fuel business growth and investment in science.

* Collaborate and Deliver Results: Partner with Key Market or MCO management to measure progress, track value delivery, and ensure compliance with performance metrics and KPIs.
* Foster Relationships: Build and maintain strong stakeholder relationships to simplify and standardize contracting processes while enhancing the contracting control environment.
