Cambridge, MA, Morristown, NJ

Sanofi is accelerating its modernization journey, supporting its Take the Lead strategy to become more focused, integrated, agile, and efficient. The Medical Innovation team is at the forefront of transforming the way science is exchanged, moving from static publications and slide decks to immersive, AI‑powered, personalized scientific experiences. As the architect of how science is consumed in the AI era, the Global Lead will design and incubate Sanofi’s next‑generation scientific engagement platforms—GenAI‑powered content, immersive medical education environments, and external LLM platforms—while coordinating omnichannel strategy with Business Operations and GTMC teams.

• Scientific Platform Strategy & Design
  :
  Define and own the Scientific Platforms roadmap; redesign “scientific exchange” from static communication to dynamic, personalized experiences across all channels; lead strategic design and incubation of GenAI content creation, immersive medical education, and emerging engagement technologies; build a vision for omnichannel engagement, coordinating with GTMC to ensure standardized deployment; identify and evaluate emerging content technologies and immersive platforms; design platform architectures enabling personalized delivery at scale;
  
  define KPI and impact framework before handoff to operational teams.
• Innovation Incubation & Testing Use Cases
  :
  Act as the primary incubator for platform innovations—partner with Digital to scout & evaluate technologies, design use cases, define KPI frameworks, and manage proof‑of‑concept initiatives; lead selection of AI and immersive technology use cases; design and lead end‑to‑end use cases from vendor engagement to proof‑of‑concept delivery; define success metrics, adoption frameworks, and readiness assessment for scale; collaborate with Scientific Communications and Field Excellence for smooth handoff;
  
  track performance post‑“test & learn” phase, capturing adoption data and impact metrics.
• GBU & Cross‑Functional Partnership
  :
  Serve as embedded scientific platforms partner to Medical GBUs, ensuring designs reflect GBU priorities; collaborate with GTMC to align omnichannel strategies; represent the function in the Medical Innovation Council; partner with Digital AI teams on technical architecture, vendor build, and integration; engage external technology partners, academic institutions, and content ecosystems; communicate strategy, progress, and results clear to senior leadership.
• Governance & Compliance
  :
  Ensure all platforms and AI‑generated content meet regulatory, MLR review, and ethical standards; develop governance protocols for GenAI content creation, immersive technology use, and medical education management; stay current on evolving regulatory guidance for AI‑generated medical content and immersive engagement.
