In this assignment the GPH will be accountable for the compound clinical development strategy and execution, with a focus on studies for regulatory purposes and including budget planning. The GPH will collaborate with the Principal Clinical Lead (PCL) and Global Project Manager (GPM) to lead the cross-functional GPT (which includes translational, regulatory, drug manufacturing, safety, medical and commercial compound leads), to ensure correct planning and implementation of end-to-end compound strategy. The GPH will represent the Clinical Development function at the cross-functional GBT responsible for commercial brand strategy. The GPH will partner with the PCL to present and discuss development strategy with key internal stakeholders, external investigators and advisory boards, and worldwide regulatory authorities.

 

The Global Project Head is also an essential contributor to Sanofi Solid Tumor Oncology and cross-asset Disease Area strategies. The GPH will be responsible for the Clinical Development assessment of external business development opportunities in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, and, if applicable, become responsible for the implementation of this Development strategy.
