About the job

Are you ready to shape the future of medicine? Join Sanofi as the Digital RnD Decision Fabric Product Owner, where you will lead the vision and strategy for the RnD Decision Fabric. The decision fabric is a scalable agentic capability that connects data, analytics, AI models, and agents into unified decision-making workflows across RND.

You will partner with business stakeholders, and development teams to refine the requirements for this foundational infrastructure that democratizes access to AI-powered decision support.

We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives.
