Director / Team Lead, Integrated Insights & Strategy

At Pfizer, breakthroughs change patients' lives. In Specialty Care that means people living with rare and serious conditions, from ATTR amyloidosis and hemophilia to atopic dermatitis and vitiligo. Our Integrated Insights & Strategy (IIS) team turns data into the decisions that help these medicines reach the patients who need them, powered by a proprietary, AI-enabled analytics stack few commercial teams can match.

As a Director / Team Lead in IIS, you will build and lead the team of strategists behind how these brands grow, and grow the people who do it.

Why IIS: What You'll Gain

• Lead at the frontier of AI in commercial analytics. Your team uses and helps shape IIS-built tools like ORBIT (our subnational performance platform) and AnalogueOS (our AI analogue-matching engine), and you will set how AI fluency scales across the pod.
• A leadership platform. You will build and grow a team of high-caliber strategists and analysts, shape how the pod works in an AI-enabled operating model, and see your people advance along IIS's strategist career track.
• A real seat at the table. You will sit on senior portfolio and TA leadership teams as a trusted thought partner, and your team's analysis shapes the decisions those leaders make.
• A culture built on curiosity. We reward the sharper question, out-of-the-box thinking, and genuine intellectual partnership over order-taking, and we look to our leaders to protect it.
