About this role
ROLE
SUMMARY This role owns global product accountability for one or more lead enterprise AI and digital products serving Medical Affairs globally — spanning Oncology, International, and enterprise-wide capabilities, and representing a multi-million-dollar portfolio of AI investment. The Senior Director, Product Management is the single point of accountability for a product's full lifecycle: from opportunity identification and business case, through requirements definition, roadmap sequencing, and delivery, to scaled global deployment and post-launch value realization. This is a peer role to the Senior Director, Solution Architecture and the Senior Director, Engineering — together forming the leadership structure driving the Medical AI Acceleration portfolio: Product Management defines what gets built and why, Architecture defines how it is built, and Engineering builds and deploys it. Prioritization decisions made in this role directly determine where architectural and engineering investment is spent, giving this role primary influence over the return generated on the portfolio's technology investment. Success is measured in adoption, business value, and outcome impact. This position routinely engages VP- and SVP-level stakeholders — including the Head of US Medical Affairs, Therapeutic Area/Category Leads, Field Medical Leads, MEI Lead, MEI Platform Leads and Compliance and Legal Leads — across global Medical Affairs, Digital Technology, and Commercial functions to negotiate priorities, resolve conflicting business needs, and secure alignment on product direction. It requires the ability to operate with significant autonomy against ambiguous, competing stakeholder demands, and the executive presence to influence senior leaders who do not report into this role. Pfizer's Medical Affairs organization is scaling a portfolio of enterprise AI and digital products designed to transform how medical strategy, evidence generation, and field engagement operate. The Senior Director, Product Management will lead one or more of these products end-to-end — translating complex, often competing business needs from a broad and senior global stakeholder base into a coherent product vision, a prioritized roadmap, and well-defined feature, product and technical requirements that delivery teams can build against. This is a strategic, business-facing role that determines what gets built and why. It also requires strong knowledge of digital technology and how solutions are built and deployed.

Elicit, synthesize, and translate ambiguous or conflicting business needs from multiple senior stakeholders into clear, documented product, feature and technical requirements.
