Known for its scientific and operational excellence, Regeneron is a leading science-based biopharmaceutical company that discovers, invents, develops, manufactures, and commercializes medicines for the treatment of serious medical conditions. Regeneron commercializes medicines for eye diseases, high LDL-cholesterol, atopic dermatitis and a rare inflammatory condition and has product candidates in development in other areas of high unmet medical need, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, pain, cancer and infectious diseases.

Summary:

Regeneron has grown very rapidly over the last 5 years. Not only have we grown over 500% and commercially launched 4 new therapeutics, we have also been building the team and the infrastructure that can easily and repeatedly prosecute 20-25 programs within the phases of clinical development. That team is Global Development. This function has a foot print in the US (Tarrytown, NY, Basking Ridge, NJ and field) and in the UK and Dublin, an is one of our fastest growing teams at Regeneron. Given the growth, key areas of HR support for this team include workforce planning, talent management, culture and employee engagement and building our pipeline of future leaders of Global Development.

As Regeneron has grown and evolved, so has the HR function. We are on a several year journey and our on-going HR evolution is an investment in our own function -with a long-term goal of HR having an even bigger impact on Regeneron's workforce & talent management practices and employee experience. We are investing in and implementing two foundational technologies (WorkDay and a centralized HR service center), creating an integrated Talent Management Center of Excellence and building our HR Business Partner capability to deliver more strategic HR support to our leaders.

This HR role is a senior member of the Global Development HR Business Partner team. This team supports 900+ employees and works collaboratively with each other and the HR centers of Excellence (Talent Management, Total Rewards and HR Operations) to understand the strengths and the gaps across Global Development and ensure HR can create programs and solutions that meet their business needs. HRBP's develop solutions to solve business challenges in order to increase their ability to deliver on their everyday goal-bringing promise to patients.

You will be an advisor to executives, managers and employees on organizational and HR-related issues, including but not limited to workforce planning, talent acquisition and development, change management, organization design and effectiveness, employee engagement, employee relations, performance management, to promote and maintain REGN's high-performance culture, the Regeneron Way.

Key to this will also be your ability to quickly develop trusted relationships with people at all levels across Global Development as well as within the HR team. You have to be comfortable with challenging the status quo in a rapidly growing team and be very comfortable with toggling back and forth between excellent tactical execution and making sure there is a sound and longer-term strategy behind our work and the solutions.
