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.

The Clinical Innovation team at Sanofi is responsible for identifying, accelerating, and scaling innovations that can serve to improve operations and/or outcomes for patients, sites, and sponsors of clinical trials. The Clinical Innovation team includes our digital biomarker strategy and operations team which focuses on establishing and executing digital biomarker programs that generate health-related data through digital health technologies (DHTs), provide valuable insights into patients' conditions, and aid in improving the clinical trial experience.

This role within the Clinical Innovation Strategy and Implementation team will be responsible for independently executing and implementing the digital biomarker strategy within our clinical programs. Specifically, the role will be responsible for ensuring the activation, selection, implementation, and success of a digital endpoint in a clinical study and/or program. Additionally, the role will be responsible for contributing insights, expertise, and perspective gained from day-to-day activities to the overall strategy and innovation direction of the team.

The Digital Biomarker Operational Lead can manage several studies, and studies with complexity level 3 proactively and independently and will mentor junior Digital Biomarker Operational Leads and GIGs to grow into the role. 

The Digital Biomarker Operational Lead can serve as subject matter expert on key topics, and can serve as back-up for the Clinical Innovation Operations Portfolio Lead for some activities spanning the Portfolio.

A successful candidate will have a strong attention to detail, passion for driving innovation as well as testing new technology solutions, comfort with and experience with project management, good grasp of clinical operations, high flexibility and enthusiasm towards changing environment and a problem-solving attitude.

The Digital Biomarker Operational Lead will have a strong and long experience in clinical development studies/ programs phase I, II III and IV and will have standing vendor management experience.

The Digital Biomarker Operational Lead will focus on operationalizing the selected Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) into our clinical studies. The role is responsible for ensuring the successful execution of our strategic direction by working with global and local study teams to select vendor(s), onboard and implement the vendor(s) with close attention to study timelines and milestones. The Digital Biomarker Operation Lead is responsible for ensuring all operational components of the digital biomarkers are accounted for and executed through study start-up, conduct, database lock, read-outs, and planning for next phases as relevant. Digital Biomarker Operational Leads report into the Clinical Innovation Operations Portfolio Lead and work closely with the Digital Endpoint Strategy Leads, Project Leads, Global Study Managers, Procurement, Vendor excellence, quality, regulatory, and other relevant teams to ensure study success.

The Digital Biomarker Operational Lead is expected to develop deep familiarity with the digital health technology(s) they are responsible for deploying to clinical studies. This familiarity and expertise will be essential for problem solving during any challenges during study start-up or study conduct. Additionally, the Digital Biomarker Operational Lead will be expected to confidently navigate ambiguity and to support the creation of SOPs for new processes as digital health technologies are onboarded to Sanofi’s studies. The Digital Biomarker Operational Lead is essential for communicating risks, lessons learned and opportunities for improvement to the clinical innovation team and study teams.
