Information Specialist - VIE Contract (W/M)

Target start date: 01/08/2024

At Sanofi, diversity and inclusion are foundational to how we operate and are therefore embedded in our Core Values. We respect the diversity of our people, their backgrounds and experiences. We recognize that to truly tap into the richness that diversity brings, we must lead with inclusion and have a workplace where differences can be leveraged to empower the lives of our employees, patients, and customers. We respect and celebrate the diversity of our people, their backgrounds, and experiences, and provide equal opportunity for all.

Sanofi R&D Ghent is engaged in the development of Nanobody® therapeutics based on single variable domain fragments, which combine the advantages of conventional antibody drugs with some of the features of small-molecule drugs. Nanobody® single variable domains have potential uses in the treatment of a range of serious and life-threatening human diseases. Sanofi advances a portfolio of Nanobody® therapeutic programs in several major disease areas, including inflammation, hematology, immuno-oncology, and oncology.

As an Information Specialist VIE:

• You map global competitive landscapes by using various market screening and search tools.
• You analyze the fast-growing competitive landscape of single variable domain technologies and other antibody modalities, and you collect market information on new products and technologies under development in this space.
• You work closely together with other Sanofi competitive intelligence and market search and analytic teams, as well as with external search tool providers.
• You closely follow-up our key competitors. You perform a detailed analysis of the obtained market information. You study competitor’s publications (literature, patents, etc.) to obtain specific information on competitor’s products and technologies.
• You update, report, present and discuss your analyses at various levels in interdisciplinary team meetings, and with a range of stakeholders in the company.
• You maintain a close interaction with Sanofi scientists, intellectual property professionals, and other internal stakeholders. You are actively involved in the evaluation of the obtained data and the discussions on the strategic positioning of Sanofi in the competitive landscape. You work closely with scientists and intellectual property (IP) professionals to define roadmaps for new projects, IP filings, and subsequent IP enforcement.
• While gaining in-depth competitive intelligence knowledge on the antibody and single variable domain space, you also build expertise in market screening and search tools that are ideally used for such detailed market analysis. This expertise might later be applied in the analysis of other segments of the antibody and single variable domain space as well as in other product and/or technology market segments.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in biology or biochemistry (Applied Biology, Molecular & Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, …).
• Experience in detailed Competitive Intelligence analyses.
• Outstanding analytical skills.
• You are proactive and take initiative.
• You easily obtain rapid and solid expertise in specific IT market screening and searching tools and databases (e.g. Cortellis, PatSnap, …).
• You are proficient in English (written and oral).
• You are a good communicator, coordinator, team player, and have good relational skills.
• You are a motivated self-starter, who is keen to contribute to an interdisciplinary team in more ways than merely handling assigned projects.
• You are flexible, creative and enthusiastic.
• You have a thorough awareness of confidentiality matters and are discreet with confidential information.
• English is a must.
