About the Job
In this field-based, specialty sales position, the Zone Business Associate is responsible for the successful promotion of Sanofi-Genzyme’s Respiratory and Dermatology indications in territories where additional resources/share of voice is required.

ZBAs will have the opportunity to travel the country and work with various members of the Genzyme commercial organization. The ZBA role will report to the ZBA Lead, an FDD, who reports directly to an NSD.
