Là où les miracles
de la science
deviennent une réalité pour les patients

Sanofi Manufacturing and Supply Organization is preparing its future through an ambitious program named Modulus. The Modulus Project is at the cornerstone of Sanofi strategy as it aims at creating a new manufacturing concept consisting of a new generation of evolutive multi-product facilities, modular, adaptable and agile, leveraging new disruptive technologies, to better address vaccine business challenges as well as Specialty Care biological products. One of these two Modulus sites is implemented in Singapore in a new Greenfield site, with a design like the one in Neuville (France). Our manufacturing sites are state-of-the-art, powered by big data and digital. It is the bridge between scientific advances and transformative medicines and will be serving millions of people around the world.

Manufacturing Science, Analytics and Technology (MSAT) drives the industrialization and the improvement of biological processes and products. It embarks new technologies and digital trends. It is the keeper of manufacturing process knowledge. MSAT is at the crossroad of R&D and production. It is a multi-disciplinary function that provides expertise in process, manufacturing sciences, process modeling, statistical analysis, process validation and technology transfer.

The MSAT team in Sanofi Modulus Singapore is seeking a Senior Manager, MSAT Lab. This person is accountable for upstream, downstream and analytical laboratory activities which support troubleshooting and lifecycle management initiatives for commercial biologics production. This role will set up the laboratory, hire & develop the laboratory scientists to support manufacturing investigations through laboratory studies and data analysis as well as drive continuous improvement projects. A crucial part of the role is also to continuously review and bring in innovative capabilities and automation technologies to enhance laboratory operations & large-scale process efficiencies.
