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.
Attorney with 5+ years of relevant pharmaceutical industry experience to join the Sanofi Legal Department as Corporate Counsel, responsible for Sanofi products (both investigational and marketed) managed by Sanofi's US and Global Specialty Care Business Unit. This role will provide legal advice and counsel to internal clients primarily within the Alliance Immunology franchise, with potential opportunities to support products in other franchise areas given evolving business support needs. This role will also support day to day initiatives and long-term strategies. This is a broad business lawyering role that includes strategic and transactional counseling.
The Corporate Counsel will need to be confident and comfortable with senior decision makers and be able to work independently across Sanofi at multiple levels. The Corporate Counsel will provide input on complex and sensitive legal and business issues and will advise his/her internal stakeholders in a manner that advances the company's strategy while addressing legal and regulatory risks and preserving and protecting the company's integrity and reputation. The Corporate Counsel will be expected to provide prompt, strategic, useful, and thorough input to internal clients and senior management regarding complex and wide-ranging legal matters, particularly in the area of advertising and promotion, fraud and abuse, and other applicable healthcare laws.
We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people's lives. We're also a company where you can flourish and grow your career, with countless opportunities to explore, make connections with people, and stretch the limits of what you thought was possible.

Main Responsibilities:
Serve as the primary legal contact for assigned products and/or business units, acting as legal reviewer for advertising and promotional materials, as well as collaborating with other practice areas and functions relating to the assigned products and/or business units.
Act as a partner to the business in considering, developing, and executing initiatives relating to such products or business units.
Manage the review and negotiation of certain contracts and amendments relating to the relevant product and/or business unit. The candidate must be flexible enough to manage multiple subject matter issues across diverse areas of the company, taking the initiative to identify appropriate subject matter experts and coordinating overall review.
Work with cross-functional stakeholders to assist them with adherence to Sanofi's policies, understand legislative developments that may impact our business, and work through direct and indirect management of both internal and external resources. This requires a high degree of organizational skill and focus on detail.
The Corporate Counsel operates with limited supervision, and therefore requires a high level of balanced judgment and an ability to independently discern and establish priorities. Agility and willingness to learn about various subject matters (both from a legal and business perspective) are highly valued. Ability to identify potential legal issues (focusing on promotional matters, regulatory issues, and fraud and abuse) as well as proposed solutions to mitigate risk is required.
The Corporate Counsel must demonstrate the following behaviors in partnering with cross-functional stakeholders: strategic business ownership, external awareness, impact-based counseling, proactivity, innovation, and focus on value creation. He/She must also know when to escalate issues internally and with outside counsel.
