iSHIFT is Sanofi's strategic enterprise transformation program, deploying SAP S/4HANA (including MDG – Master Data Governance) across the global organization. It is the backbone of Sanofi's CORE model, standardizing and harmonizing processes across Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and beyond. Through a "shift left" approach and SAP MVP delivery methodology, iSHIFT is accelerating rollouts across regions and countries — reducing project lifecycle by up to 50% while ensuring quality and adoption.
The iSHIFT program mobilizes cross-functional teams across Digital, Finance, M&S, Business Operations, BPOs, and external partners to deliver a unified, future-ready ERP platform for Sanofi worldwide.
As the iSHIFT SCI Solution Delivery SCI TM/IM Lead, you will be the functional and technical owner of the Supply Chain Integration (SCI) workstream, with a specific focus on SAP Transportation Management (TM) and Inventory Management (IM) modules. You will drive end-to-end solution design, delivery, and continuous improvement of TM/IM capabilities within the iSHIFT program, ensuring alignment with Sanofi's global CORE model.
Sitting within the Digital Delivery & Operations / iSHIFT Enablement team, you will work in close collaboration with iSHIFT program leaders, Supply Chain BPOs, the Supply Chain Coalition, and key iSHIFT stakeholders.
This is a high-impact, highly visible role at the intersection of supply chain operations and digital transformation — for someone who thrives in complex, global, fast-paced environments and is passionate about delivering solutions that matter.
