About the Job

We are an innovative global healthcare company, committed to transforming the lives of people with immune challenges, rare diseases and blood disorders, cancers, and neurological disorders. From R&D to sales, our talented teams work together, revolutionizing treatment, continually improving products, understanding unmet needs, and connecting communities. We chase the miracles of science every single day, pursuing progress to make a real impact on millions of patients around the world.

Sanofi is driven by our unifying ambition: to transform the practice of medicine, turning the impossible into possible for millions of people worldwide. This vision is expressed in part by a commitment to communities in which the company has a presence - a commitment executed by a team of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) professionals.

Sanofi is looking for a motivated and collaborative self-starter with a strong interest in Corporate Social Responsibility, Community Relations, and/or Philanthropy.

The objective of the CSR/Community Relations Co-Op Position is to assist the Director of US CSR and Community Relations in ensuring that Sanofi partners intentionally and authentically in the Cambridge/Greater-Boston region, responsibly distributing available funding and actively engaging other resources to deliver our CSR mission and help solve critical community challenges.

This role supports the Director in building and maintaining key external relationships, strategic philanthropy, and employee engagement programming for Sanofi in Cambridge, MA and surrounding areas in alignment with US CSR strategy. The Co-Op position helps to manage and carryout that strategy including administrative aspects of local corporate giving, support for the Philanthropy Committee, managing volunteerism and communications, as well as partnering with the Director to represent Sanofi at events and meetings. The role will interact daily with the national CSR team, as well as local cross-functional teams such as Communications, DEI, Corporate Affairs, and Human Resources.

At the close of this 6-month rotation, the Co-Op should be expected to have learned how to develop and implement a successful community engagement strategy focused on health equity and STEM access. The individual will leave this role with strong cross-functional team management experience, exposure to working with senior leadership at a major multi-national pharmaceutical company, effective communications portfolio from the CSR lens, refined data analysis skills to tell a compelling CSSR narrative and make the case for support, and increased knowledge of the greater Boston non-profit/for-profit partnership landscape.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Assist Director of CSR and Community Relations to implement Massachusetts community engagement strategy with a focus on Cambridge, MA and surrounding areas in line with U.S. CSR priorities

  • Collaborate with US CSR, Government & Public Affairs, site leadership, Human Resources, DEI, R&D, and Communications on opportunities to generate positive visibility in the community and on matters impacting our Corporate Citizenship

  • Support Director in building key external relationships that makeup local portfolio

  • Assess current CSR trends, research new partner prospects and opportunities in line with U.S. and local site CSR and community relations priorities

  • Partner with Director to link internal teams to volunteer opportunities that contribute to the expansion of our qualified and diverse STEM workforce through the creation of a variety of mentorship and internship opportunities

  • Maintain CSR Communications plan for internal channels; support Director in identifying external opportunities for thought leadership and targeted communications

  • Provide administrative support for Philanthropy Committee oversight including meeting presentations, donation summaries, data overviews, and partner spotlights.
