About the Job

You’ll take accountability and have an appetite to make an impact with first in class or best in class products. You will build trusting relationships with healthcare professionals, both face-to-face and remotely, with all that you do being in the interests of both customers and patients, or consumers.

You will be making sure our products reach the highest number of people and be a major part of our unifying purpose to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives.

You’re determined and agile, having everything you need to make change happen, inspired by achieving ambitious and collective targets.  You’ll be expected to grow and develop both within, and beyond this current role.

You’ll work closely with other Sanofians to ensure our customer experiences are the best that they can be, so thinking One Sanofi above self-interest is critical. 

To chase the miracles of science, you’ll need a strong moral compass. A bold and noble purpose like ours requires a culture that drives and is driven by ethics and business integrity. It means all of us bring our best ethical selves to work so that we make the right decisions for the people we serve.

We encourage you to explore more within Sanofi, as we are creating an environment where your development and personal growth is supported. You can grow within your role, grow beyond your role, or even grow personally through our many volunteering activities and our focus on social responsibility, in addition to your “day job”.

The ABM will be responsible for engaging in account-based business to business interactions within customer segments (Pediatrics, Family/General Practice, IDN/IHNs, Health Systems, and Federally Qualified Health Centers), while presenting clinically focused selling messages to create and grow revenue and to consistently deliver the Sanofi Vaccines portfolio goals. The ABM will act as an “account orchestrator” to provide a more cohesive customer experience and ultimately improve customer and patient outcomes by leveraging cross-functional support from internal teams across US vaccines. The ABM will demonstrate initiative, drive, and independence, and take ownership for meeting and exceeding individual business goals – simply put the ABM plays the role of business owner for their book of business. This will be accomplished by driving performance and delivering results in a compliant manner with a high degree of integrity.

Join the team protecting half a billion lives every year with next-gen science, mRNA innovation, and AI Vaccines driven breakthroughs. In Vaccines, you’ll help advance prevention on a global scale - and shape the future of immunization.
