At Sanofi, we’re committed to providing the next-gen healthcare that patients and customers need. It’s about harnessing data insights and leveraging AI responsibly to search deeper and solve sooner than ever before.

The Filling, Formulation, Inspection, and Packagain (FFIP) implementation requires a System Support Analyst position with a combination of technical and business analysis skills to contribute to the project. The professional will be part of the FFIP/Beyfortus Digital project team and be contributing from a technical and validation perspective to help ensure MES, PI, Serialization, and hardware rollout are delivered on time, on budget and to the intended scope as defined by the project team and approved by the project steering committee.

We are seeking a highly motivated and self-driven System Support Analyst who possesses a blend of technical expertise, business analysis acumen, troubleshooting skills, and interpersonal skills. This individual will play a crucial role in supporting the rollout of manufacturing IT systems including the manufacturing execution system, data historian system, interfaces for integrated lab equipment, and related physical hardware/workstations. Beyond technical expertise, this role requires a robust set of people-oriented and relationship management skills.

This role may occasionally require after-hours support availability to address system emergencies as the manufacturing facilities operate on a 24/7 basis. Overtime hours must be agreed with management.

Due to the nature of the job (production floor support) up to date vaccination is required.
