Senior Manager, HR Business Partner - Corporate Functions

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 now have close to 8000 employees -and commercially launched 4 new therapeutics, we have also been building the corporate functions and infrastructure that supports our Research, Development, IOPS and Commercial teams. The corporate functions have a foot print in the US, the UK and Dublin. Given the ongoing growth, key areas of HR support for this team include workforce planning, talent management, culture and employee engagement. Our corporate functions provide the right support to enable the outstanding innovation in research, the ability to develop over 20 products in the clinic, enable our production of high quality product for our patients and support our in-house and field commercial teams. The corporate (G&A) functions at REGN include areas such as Finance and Accounting, Legal, Corporate Communications, Strategic Sourcing and Procurement, Real Estate and Facilities, IT and HR.

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 member of the G&A 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 G&A and ensure HR can create programs and solutions that meet their business needs. HRBP's develop solutions to solve G&A business challenges in order to increase their ability to deliver on their everyday goal-supporting the teams that take Science to Medicine.

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, and 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 G&A as well as within the HR team. You have to be comfortable with challenging the status quo in a 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 all of our work and the solutions.
