About the Job

Company Context

Sanofi's strategic direction is to standardize processes across sites, embrace digital transformation of its Manufacturing & Supply perimeter, simplify its current solution landscape, and leverage advanced technologies to bring business value.

The MARS (MES Accelerated Roadmap @ Sanofi) program aims to implement Computer-assisted batch review, enabled by the definition and roll-out of a core Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This program will transform Sanofi plants, improving compliance, cost, and cycle time performance.

Over recent years, Sanofi has deployed various Production sites across GBUs (multiple pharmaceutical processes, Weighing & Dispensing & full MES), with a second wave currently in motion. This represents a strategic opportunity for Manufacturing & Supply Transformation to:

Design standardized end-to-end processes to generate business value and deliver best-in-class solutions to industrial sites, with high focus on electronic batch record management & review by exception process

Deliver innovative "state of the art" tools enabling performance for manufacturing processes

Allow new generation of deployment – more Agile & business centric

Maintain robust and highly available solutions to operate industrial processes efficiently
