Context

The creation of a standalone Global Business Unit, Sanofi’s Consumer Healthcare (“CHC”) has now grown into a leading consumer healthcare platform with a presence in 150 countries and over 11,000 employees, dedicated resources in R&D, manufacturing, information technology as well as its distinct sustainability roadmap.

Sanofi recently announced its intention to separate the CHC Business as it increases its focus on innovative medicines and vaccines. The intended separation will seek to create two entities, each better equipped to pursue its own business strategy, resourcing and capital allocation and enabling each to focus on long-term growth in its respective markets. Sanofi believes that the separation will unlock further opportunities for CHC to leverage its portfolio of leading brands and continue to drive growth and shareholder value.

Subject to market conditions, the separation could be achieved at the earliest in Q4 2024.

In that context, Sanofi is looking for a CHC Head of Global Treasury Operations. He/she will temporarily report to Sanofi Head of International Treasury and ultimately to the CHC Group Treasurer.
