USA-Project Manager III (Scientific)

Details for the position are as follows: Location: Boston, MA or Morristown, NJ Hybrid 40 hours a week- 2 days onsite through December 2026; required to transition to 3 days onsite beginning in 2027. 12-month contract to start with the possibility of extension or conversion depending on performance and business needs. Rate: $87.45 hr on W2. Job Description: This role is responsible for driving the Patient Health Value (P&H V) strategy within Global Project Teams (GPTs) to develop robust and ambitious Patient-Informed Target Value Propositions (TVPs) that directly impact development strategies. Organization is expanding from Target Product Profiles (TPPs) to Target Value Propositions (TVPs), with health value added becoming a strategic objective for integrated, patient-centered evidence generation. The role ensures a clear Patient Relevant Information (PRI) strategy is developed in partnership with GPTs, Patient-Informed Development, and Health Value Translation (HVT), and that appropriate patient studies are conducted to generate meaningful insights. Additionally, the position drives the incorporation of innovative data sources and methodologies, including digital technologies and artificial intelligence to strengthen TVPs through integrated evidence generation plans. Within the Patient‑Informed Development & Health Value Translation (HVT) department, this individual will lead therapeutic area workstreams and ensure seamless access to P&H V capabilities. This is a highly strategic leadership role focused on transforming development model toward patient-centered evidence generation, enabling differentiated and impactful value propositions for patients at launch and throughout the product lifecycle. Bring the Patient Voice into Decision-Making Represent the P&H V department at the GPT level. From M2 through Phase III, develop patient-informed TVP and Patient Relevant Information (PRI) strategies in collaboration with HEVA, Market Access, and Medical teams; ensure patient-related insights are available for DWG, TARC, and IDCC decision-making across all Sanofi development programs. Enable and coordinate GPT cross‑functional workstreams to identify unmet healthcare needs, outcomes and populations of interest, care delivery experience impacts, differentiation versus standard of care (SoC) and competitors, and value drivers for patients, payers, and HCPs; translate these insights into value-added patient-informed TVPs, trial designs, and Integrated Evidence Generation Plans (IEGPs). Coordinate Integrated Patient Evidence Generation Partner with Patient Engagement and Patient Relevant Insights & Outcomes leads to develop patient-centered evidence generation strategies that inform and strengthen Patient-Informed TVPs and identify regulatory opportunities for PRO/PED inclusion in product labeling. Foster integration of innovative methods and technologies to demonstrate patient health value, including patient preference, satisfaction and quality-of-life studies, real-world data sources, modeling and simulation, predictive analytics, machine learning, natural language processing, prognostic factor identification, population selection, and treatment response prediction. Strengthen the PRI strategy beyond traditional PROs by leveraging digital approaches and patient research methodologies including concept elicitation, patient preference studies, patient surveys, social media listening, care delivery experience assessments, and drug delivery device usability studies. Ensure patient-relevant endpoints are integrated into Phase III studies and that insights gathered by Patient Engagement leads are readily accessible to GPTs. Lead agile, cross‑functional, therapeutically aligned workstreams to ensure TVP and PRI strategies influence development strategies and key decision‑making. Required Skills: PhD, MD, PharmD, or MBBS. 10+ years of experience in Life Sciences with a strong R&D track record. HEOR, RWE, and/or Market Access experience. Clinical trial experience. Experience communicating with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients. Exceptional influence and stakeholder management skills. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to think strategically. Cross-functional leadership and integration capabilities with a strong results orientation. Ability to simplify complex challenges and navigate trade‑off discussions. Strong project management skills. Evidence generation beyond RCTs, including: Real-World Evidence (RWE), Differentiation strategies, Benefit-risk demonstration preferred. Knowledge of: Public health systems and associated challenges, Market access, Pharmaceutical R&D, Commercial strategy preferred. Familiarity with: Modeling & Simulation, Predictive analytics, Population health management, Digital health preferred. Familiarity with: Oncology, Immunology & Inflammation, Multiple Sclerosis, Neurodegenerative Disorders, Rare Blood Disorders, Rare Diseases preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr The Fountain Group
