Sanofi to hire another 500 people for its Budapest GBS

French pharma giant Sanofi is set to create several hundreds of new jobs in its international business service center in Budapest, where office space has recently more than doubled in size.

Located in one of the Hungarian capital’s most dynamic business districts on Váci út, the Sanofi Budapest Hub has grown by 8,000 square meters to a total of 15,000, providing state-of-the-art workstations, community areas, and dining facilities.

Launched in 2019 with 100 employees, Sanofi’s business service center in Budapest employs around 1,700 professionals working in 14 languages, and plans to expand its workforce to about 2,200 by the end of 2026.

The Sanofi Budapest Hub is one of Hungary’s largest business service centers (BSCs). It supports the French company’s global operations in several fields including process automation, data analytics, finance & accounting, and HR. Its diverse community represents 65 nationalities, with 75 percent of employees being Hungarian.
According to HIPA’s latest data, Hungary hosts 215 BSCs, employing over 110,000 people and contributing around 3 percent to the national GDP.

As the successor of the historic Chinoin pharmaceutical company founded in 1910, Sanofi employs more than 2,200 people in Hungary across its sites in Budapest, Veresegyház, and Csanyikvölgy near Miskolc. Globally, the Paris-based company operates with a workforce of about 80,000 and reported revenues exceeding EUR 41 billion in 2024.
