About the Job

Ready to push the limits of what’s possible? Join Sanofi in one of our corporate functions, and you can play a vital part in the performance of our entire business while helping to make an impact on millions around the world.

Sanofi (NYSE : SNY) is a leading global integrated healthcare company that discovers, develops, and distributes therapeutic solutions to improve the lives of everyone. The company works to prevent and treat the diseases of today, as well as those we may face tomorrow. With over 100,000 dedicated professionals in more than 100 countries, Sanofi is committed to advancing healthcare worldwide.

Sanofi Ventures (SV) is Sanofi's corporate venture capital arm. SV has the ability to seed and lead financings for early-stage private companies with innovative ideas, transformative new products, or breakthrough technologies of strategic interest to Sanofi. Among these areas are digital health and data science solutions aimed at transforming Sanofi into an AI-powered biopharma company, as well as novel biotherapeutics in core areas of Sanofi’s business footprint (including rare diseases, vaccines, oncology, and immunology).

In this role, the Director of Investments will report directly to the Partner & Global Head of Digital Investments and will support the generation of new investment ideas, lead and conduct due diligence, and manage and support existing investments.

A successful candidate will be able to understand, interpret, and integrate information from diverse scientific, technical, and business domains to reach investment conclusions.

Directors will have broad exposure to company management teams, Sanofi colleagues (including Digital, R&D, Clinical Sciences Innovation, Precision Medicine, Commercial, and Medical Affairs), investor conferences, and other resources that Sanofi Ventures utilizes to make investment decisions.
