Product Owner, Digital Portfolio

Product Owner, Digital Portfolio

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.

We're looking for a Product Owner to drive the discovery, delivery, and continuous improvement of a connected suite of digital portfolio products. You'll work at the intersection of user needs, data, and organizational strategy — defining problems worth solving, shaping measurable outcome-based goals, and partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver real value. This is a hands-on role for someone who communicates with clarity, thrives in ambiguity, and knows how to keep a team moving in the right direction.

We're an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people's lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people's lives.

Main Responsibilities:

• Own the Problem, Not Just the Backlog: Define and frame product problems using user insights, data, and organizational context — not assumptions. Use discovery techniques like interviews, journey mapping, and assumption testing to build a deep understanding of what's worth solving. Build roadmaps grounded in evidence, not just business requests.
• Drive Dual-Track Discovery and Delivery: Lead a product trio (Product Owner, Engineering, Design) to continuously explore and deliver value. Define hypotheses and learning goals each sprint. Run experiments to validate ideas before committing full engineering investment — balancing discovery and delivery with clarity and adaptability.
• Shape the Product With Clarity: Define clear, measurable outcomes tied to user behavior and product value. Prioritize work based on evidence and impact, not urgency or pressure. Create outcome-oriented sprint goals that give teams a shared sense of purpose — not just lists of tickets.
• Build Shared Understanding: Use story mapping, journey mapping, and collaborative design sessions to align teams around the why before jumping to the how. Bring stakeholders into discovery, testing, and co-creation at the right moments. Make dependencies, trade-offs, and priorities visible and legible across the team.
• Engage & Align Stakeholders: Work closely with business SMEs, leadership, compliance, tech, and design. Use storytelling to rally diverse stakeholders around problems and outcomes. Bring stakeholders into discovery and co-creation where possible, building trust and shared ownership of the product direction.
• Measure and Learn: Define value metrics and track them post-release. Learn from real user behavior, not just delivery velocity. Use data — including insights from cloud data platforms and GenAI capabilities — to guide decisions, adapt direction, and fuel iteration.
• Enable & Support End-Users Through Change: Prepare and run end-user training, coordinate rollout communications, provide hypercare after releases, and build lightweight support assets (how-to, walkthroughs, FAQs). Turn user feedback into actionable improvements and measurable adoption gains.
