About the job

Our Team:

Join Sanofi's dynamic Global Submission Management (GSM) team, part of Global Regulatory Operations (GRO), where a diverse group of regulatory professionals work collaboratively across geographies to ensure timely, accurate, and compliant submissions to Health Authorities worldwide. The team operates at the forefront of regulatory innovation, continuously evolving to meet the demands of an ever-changing global regulatory landscape.

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.

As part of this high-impact team, the Submission Lead for Structured Data will play a key role in ensuring that medicinal product information is submitted to Health Authorities in standardized, structured formats — directly contributing to patient safety and regulatory efficiency at a global scale.

This includes working across key systems and frameworks, including:

xEVMPD – eXtended EudraVigilance Medicinal Product Dictionary

FMD – Falsified Medicines Directive

IDMP – Identification of Medicinal Products

PLM/PMS – Product Lifecycle Management portal using Product Management Service (PMS) data

Central to this role is the IDMP suite of standards, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and actively implemented and monitored by Health Authorities globally.

Adopting standardized terminology and formats delivers real benefits across the regulatory ecosystem — enabling systems to work together seamlessly, strengthening drug safety monitoring, eliminating duplicate work, and making information exchange with and between regulatory authorities faster and more efficient.
