Job Description:
JOB DESCRIPTIONThe Early Neuro-Development Global Program Head
(GPH) is a key position that oversees early development activities
in the Neurology & Ophthalmology Development (NOD) and is
responsible for shaping strategy as well as managing execution.
This is a highly visible role that will work closely with the
Research and Development Heads in the Therapeutic Area to build and
expand the early portfolio in Neurology. - -Unlike other GPH roles,
this role is focused on multiple projects from IND-enabling studies
to first in human studies and successful proof of concept trials.
New programs come from the internal research pipeline and from
in-licensing. The Early Development GPH is a critical contributor
for the selection of projects to move forward and will drive
execution of projects until they have achieved proof of concept and
can be handed over to a later stage global program teams (GPT's).
-At Sanofi we chase the miracles of science. Sanofi believes that
the more we understand about disease pathogenesis in the human
nervous system, the greater the chance we can produce life-changing
therapies. Over the next five years, Sanofi plans to regularly test
in the clinic potentially disease-modifying treatments for Multiple
Sclerosis, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculopathy
(CIDP), Parkinson's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS),
and Genetic diseases such Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), as
well as other CNS diseases. -Scientific excellence, integrative
thinking and strong interpersonal skills will be required to
succeed in this role. The Early Development GPH reports to Nazem
Atassi, MD, Head of Early Neuro Development within NOD. The plan is
for the incumbent to initially have one direct report although this
will likely increase as the pipeline develops. The impact on the
organization is extensive due to the ability to influence disease
area strategy, and the network of collaborators from preclinical
research to operational, regulatory and commercial functions.
-Success in this role requires the ability to influence and lead at
the highest possible level. The Early Neuro-Development GPH will be
a critical member of the NOD leadership team and will be joining at
a key point in time with the opportunity to build and influence
group. This role will require the ability to innovate and think
creatively, engage multiple internal and external stakeholders, and
make key decisions. -The GPH position requires achieving results
through others and supporting the senior management team in
achieving corporate goals. The GPH establishes the goals for the
global project team (GPT) and participates in strategic planning
for, and oversight of, the clinical and research activities of
his/her area of responsibility. The GPH will be delegated such
responsibilities as interaction with regulatory/health authorities,
approval of protocols, informed consent documents, clinical study
reports and product label. In addition, the GPH will be responsible
for the communication strategy and scientific disclosures and
travel authorizations, expense reports, and will interact with
opinion leaders and consultants.Sanofi's Research and Development

future pipeline in various neurological and ophthalmological
diseases. -Scientific and technical Expertise
