Vice President, Commercial AI Transformation & Delivery

ROLE SUMMARY

As Vice President, Commercial AI Transformation & Delivery, you own the vision, strategy, and delivery of artificial intelligence across Pfizer's U.S. commercial organization. You lead a portfolio of AI and data initiatives spanning sales, marketing, and medical, and you are accountable for turning Pfizer's AI ambition into capabilities that are delivered, adopted, and creating value across the business.

Reporting to the Head of Commercial AI, you lead a multi-disciplinary organization of senior directors, directors, program leaders, and delivery teams, together with a managed network of vendors and delivery partners. While business ownership for individual initiatives sits with their respective business sponsors, you are accountable for end-to-end delivery, technical integrity, talent, and the coherence of the overall portfolio. Your scope spans the U.S. commercial organization and the shared platforms, data, and standards these initiatives build on.

Why This Role Matters

Pfizer's purpose — breakthroughs that change patients' lives — has always depended on the company's willingness to transform how it works, not only what it discovers. Across its history, Pfizer has led large-scale change in how medicines are developed and brought to the patients and clinicians who need them. Becoming the most AI-forward company, and reinventing how we work from end to end, is the next chapter in that story.

This role is central to that ambition for the commercial organization. It brings strategy, technology, and teams together so that AI is applied with rigor and at scale — improving how Pfizer serves patients, customers, and colleagues, and strengthening Pfizer's leadership in the industry. The work is as much about people and ways of working as it is about technology, and this role leads both.

Candidate Profile

This is a senior business and delivery leadership role. It calls for executive leadership, genuine technical credibility, and subject-matter depth in AI. Strong candidates bring three capabilities together rather than excelling in one alone:

AI-native. You have led the development and delivery of production AI — including modern generative and agentic AI — and you reason fluently about how it creates value, where it falls short, and how to deploy it responsibly. You set technical direction and standards through credibility, not by being the hands-on builder.

Enterprise transformation. You have led significant transformation inside large, complex, regulated organizations — reshaping operating models and ways of working, not only delivering technology. You know how to move an organization, not just a roadmap.

Building from the ground up. You have established new capabilities, products, or teams from the ground up and scaled them to real adoption in enterprise settings — comfortable with ambiguity and able to create momentum without waiting for perfect conditions.
