*About the job*

As Key Expert MSAT Upstream Processing (USP) within our MSAT Recombinant Drug Substance Microbial team, you'll develop, optimize, and transfer upstream bioprocesses for biotechnological manufacturing of peptides and proteins, specifically for our new insulin facility in Beijing. Ready to get started?

Sanofi has decided to invest into new large state\-of\-the art facilities for the full portfolio for insulin drug substances to ensure future oriented, sustainable, reliable and leading\-edge long\-term supply for world\-wide diabetes patients. The new facilities will be designed as a fully automated, green, modern and state\-of\-the\-art biologics facility considering specific process requirements of all insulins. The localization of those facilities will be in Frankfurt, Germany and Beijing, China.

You'll be part of a global MSAT Recombinant Drug Substance Microbial team spanning Germany and China, working on cutting\-edge upstream bioprocessing for our transformative Beijing insulin facility project. Join a global network that powers how Sanofi delivers — seamlessly, purposefully, and at scale. In Manufacturing \& Supply, you'll help reimagine how life\-changing treatments reach people everywhere, faster, while driving innovation in biotechnological manufacturing across cultures and continents.
