Why This Role Matters
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a lifelong condition — but what if we could intervene before it fully develops? That's exactly what this role is about.
As MCO Head of Autoimmune T1D, you will lead one of the most exciting and meaningful launches in Sanofi's pipeline: the dual launch of Early Detection and a first-in-class disease-modifying therapy for T1D. This is a rare opportunity to help build an entirely new standard of care — identifying people at risk earlier, and giving them access to treatments that can change the course of their disease.
You will shape strategy, lead a passionate team, and work across functions and borders to make this vision a reality. Reporting to the MCO General Manager and sitting on the MCO/Country Leadership Team, your work will directly impact patients' lives across the region.

Shape the Market & Build Ecosystems
* Champion disease awareness and screening adoption among healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the T1D community
* Forge meaningful partnerships with Centres of Excellence, key opinion leaders, scientific societies, patient advocacy groups, and government stakeholders

Deliver Performance & Business Planning
* Lead business case development, forecasting, and financial planning in collaboration with global franchise teams

Build & Inspire Your Team
* Recruit, develop, and lead a high-performing organization to support launch and long-term franchise growth
* Coach and empower your team, fostering a culture of collaboration, psychological safety, and high performance
Innovate in Customer Engagement

* Solid understanding of Market Access, healthcare systems, and financial planning, and how to integrate these into commercial strategy
