About the Job

Ready to push the limits of what’s possible? Join Sanofi in one of our corporate functions and you can play a vital part in the performance of our entire business while helping to make an impact on millions around the world.  

At Sanofi, we're building AI capabilities at scale across research, commercial, manufacturing and corporate functions. As we grow, we need enterprise-wide visibility to ensure we're building the right capabilities, avoiding duplication and scaling what works.

We're seeking an AI Capabilities & Portfolio Specialist who will provide cross-domain visibility of AI capabilities, track performance and adoption, and enable informed portfolio decisions. This role works at the intersection of strategy, portfolio management and governance - translating capability insights into actionable recommendations for leadership.

About Sanofi 

We’re an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people’s lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. 

Main Responsibilities:

Enterprise Capabilities Tracking

• Maintain cross-product visibility of AI capabilities (content generation, data analysis, conversational agents, etc.) tracking performance, adoption and maturity across all domains

• Identify capability overlaps and performance variations across products in close coordination with AI Commonalities & Standards Lead

• Surface opportunities for capability convergence, reuse or retirement based on performance data

• Track capability lifecycle from proof-of-concept through production scaling across the enterprise

Portfolio Performance & Value

• Monitor value realization and adoption metrics for AI capabilities across domains

• Coordinate with Finance on capability-level ROI analysis and budget performance

• Identify high-performing capabilities ready for scaling and underperforming capabilities requiring intervention

• Prepare capability-focused insights for AI Board and ExCom reviews

Cross-Domain Coordination

• Work closely with AI Commonalities & Standards Lead on capability mapping and standards adoption

• Coordinate with domain digital teams (R&D Digital, Commercial Digital, etc.) to gather capability performance data without owning domain priorities

• Bridge enterprise capability insights to domain teams to inform their roadmaps

• Support governance reviews with capability-level risk and performance assessments

RAISE & Governance Support

• Monitor RAISE compliance and risk indicators across AI capabilities

• Flag capabilities approaching governance thresholds or requiring review

• Support AI Board preparation with structured capability insights and decision-ready materials

About You

Why This Role Matters

As Sanofi scales AI across the enterprise, we risk building the same capabilities multiple times, missing opportunities to reuse what works and scaling what doesn't. This role provides the cross-cutting visibility that no single domain team can offer - enabling smarter portfolio decisions, faster scaling and responsible AI governance.

You'll work at the enterprise level, influencing how Sanofi builds and scales AI capabilities across our mission to chase the miracles of science.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to shape how a global biopharma company scales AI responsibly

• Work with cutting-edge AI technologies and products across diverse business domains

• Bring the miracles of science to life alongside a supportive, future-focused team. 

• Discover endless opportunities to grow your talent and drive your career, whether it’s through a promotion or lateral move, at home or internationally.
