About the Job

Are you ready to shape the future of medicine? The race is on to speed up drug discovery and development to find answers for patients and their families. Your skills could be critical in helping our teams accelerate progress.

As a member of the PID&HVT leadership, this position is responsible for the direction and management of a team of Health Value Translation Leads (HVT Leads) representing the department at the Global Project Team and leading the delivery of the cross-functional Patient Disease Strategy for indications under therapeutic alignment.

This is a leadership-strategic and highly cross functional role in the transformation of Sanofi development towards BiC patient-centric development evidenced by delivering impactful and differentiating value propositions at launch and across life cycle.

We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We’re also a company where you can flourish and grow your career, with countless opportunities to explore, make connections with people, and stretch the limits of what you thought was possible. Ready to get started?

Main Responsibilities:

• HVT Leads establish and execute, with collaboration from cross functional counterparts, the Patient Disease Strategy (PDS) starting in M2 through to phase 3 development programs for all assets.

• Budgeting and resource management aligned to pipeline and PDS implications supporting the pipeline/ development staged programs

• HVT Leads are effectively developing, coordinating and integrating the PDS based on the inputs from the broader department, considering the translation of patient relevant experience, priorities and unmet need to bring forward high impact strategies related to R&D pipeline/ asset differentiation, acceleration, awareness and access. Awareness and access are related to the science, clinical trials and creating advocacy ahead of the asset being a future marketed product

• HVT leads aptly integrate COA sciences into GPT subteams thereby enabling differentiated positioning of each asset relative to competition, standards of care and emerging trends in the regulatory and payer environments

• The department’s contribution to BiC patient-informed Target Value Proposition (TVP), Target Product Profiles (TPP) and Target Product Label (TPL) linked to associated evidence generation, notably a differentiated COA strategy.

• Main point of contact for Global Project Heads on matters relevant to TA level pipeline strategy, HVT performance and departmental impact

• Effective and results driven connectivity with leadership across Medical, Patient Safety & Pharmacovigilance, Market Access, New Product Planning, Global Regulatory to align the PDS for BiC drug development and risk mitigation for post Phase 3 product launch

• Contribute to research priorities (pre-M2) through patients’ disease experience and unmet needs insights to impact pipeline prioritization and early signal seeking of experience. As needed, anticipate, coordinate and execute on patient preference modelling and studies.

• Health Value Translation role has expert capabilities and expertise in:

• • Patient disease strategy frameworks, gap analysis assessments, risk mitigation and solutions that address both Global and Local country needs

  • Ability to devise and implement, in collaboration with other stakeholders, a robust Patient Engagement Strategy linked to the deliverables of the PDS.

  • • Work closely with the Patient Engagement Leads to create strategic plans that deliver on mutually beneficial partnership with advocacy KOLs to shape pre-clinical  Research and Development staged decision making while also capitalizing on local country opportunities to accelerate programs by improving patient connectivity to clinical trials

  • Evolving digital capabilities that support speed in decision making, improve predictive analytic capabilities and enhance data collection methods in clinical trials (eg collaborate with Digital Biomarker team)

  • The ability to drive to consensus building across various functional perspectives

  • Development of patient informed TVP/TPP/TPL in collaboration with GPT functions to incorporate new data sources and methods (eg: Patient preferences, patient generated health data, digital innovation...) to identify meaningful clinical outcomes & tolerability, sub-populations at the highest unmet needs and drug delivery and care experience preferences.

  • Thought leadership representing PID&HVT internally and externally (publications, congresses, conferences, etc)

• Represent department in relevant governance meetings (eg, TA aligned DWG)
