Job title: Supplier Monitoring Global Lead (Contract Obligations Management)
- Location: Gentilly (France)
At Sanofi we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the patients and families we serve, and we accomplish our goals through world-class research and with the compassion and commitment of our employees.
As we continue to transform the practice of medicine, the next chapter of Sanofi’s Play to Win strategy will require a focus on delivering transformation and simplification of our core processes, optimizing resource allocation and deployment to fuel business growth and investment in science.
To facilitate this transformation, the Business Operations Business Unit brings together pre-existing business service activities, and drives further expansion of centralized services at scale into a global unit, with a focus on driving simplification, efficiency, and productivity. It enables the delivery of best-in-class business support capabilities across the organization, incorporating and engaging disparate teams from across areas into new global Service Delivery Towers, such as Procurement Services to which this role reports.
The Supplier Monitoring Global Lead, in the Contract Obligations Management (COM) team, is a strategic leadership role overseeing the execution and continuous enhancement of Sanofi’s COM framework. This position provides direct management of COM Team Leads across multiple locations and serves as the primary escalation point for critical issues. The Global Lead is responsible for setting the end-to-end COM strategy, ensuring alignment with Sanofi’s Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) approach, and driving operational excellence through process improvements, stakeholder collaboration, and risk mitigation initiatives. This role requires a high level of autonomy, strategic thinking, and cross-functional collaboration to address global challenges, implement structural improvements, and provide senior-level oversight of Sanofi’s contract obligations management function
