About the job

As Junior Project Manager VIE within our Development Global Project Management team, you’ll apply and grow your project management foundations in clinical development across a dynamic, evolving portfolio. Therapeutic area expertise will be developed during the assignment — the successful candidate brings the project management toolkit; disease area knowledge will be built through structured mentorship, immersive team participation, and dedicated learning.

The role carries a dual scope:

1. Assigned Therapeutic Area(s): Applying existing clinical development project management skills to support global project management activities across assigned programs within the portfolio, while progressively building therapeutic area expertise through mentorship, training, and hands-on experience within established Global Project Teams (GPTs).

2. Evolving Disease Area Activities: Contributing as a GPM to emerging or evolving disease area programs, leveraging transferable project management skills to provide cross-functional coordination and project management support as Sanofi's portfolio priorities develop over the course of the assignment.

​​Join the engine of Sanofi’s mission — where deep immunoscience meets bold, AI-powered research. In R&D, you’ll drive breakthroughs that could turn the impossible into possible for millions.
