Senior Director - Strategy & Business Operations (Secondment - 12 Months)
PfizerAbout the role
WHY PATIENTS NEED YOU
The Senior Director, Strategy & Business Operations for the US Primary Care Customer Engagement Platform (CEP) is a newly elevated enterprise role created to meet the complexity and strategic demands of the largest and most commercially significant organization in Pfizer's US business. This position integrates and elevates the core responsibilities of two previously separate roles – USPC Head of Operations and USPC Head of Enablement — into a single, senior strategic function with expanded scope and precedent-setting enterprise accountability.
WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE
Reporting directly to the SVP, US Primary Care CEP Lead, this leader serves as the chief strategic thought partner to USPC customer-facing senior leadership, driving commercial excellence across the full PC United portfolio – spanning Vaccines, Cardiovascular Metabolic, Migraine, and Anti-Viral. The role supports a ~2,100-colleague, $15B+ revenue organization and is accountable for enterprise-level strategy, operating model governance, field force effectiveness, digital and AI-enabled transformation, and performance management across the evolving Primary Care business. The role leads two direct reports, including the Integrated Medicine Business Sales Enablement Lead and the Sales Operations Team Lead, and is responsible for the development, direction, and performance of these functions in service of the broader PC United organization.
This is not a coordination or support role. It is an enterprise strategy and operations leadership position that requires exceptional influence leadership – operating without direct authority across Sales and Account Management ops and enablement teams, aligning two distinct business units (Vaccines and Integrated Medicine Business) toward a unified strategic vision and execution path for PC United.
Success in This Role Will Be Defined By
Measurable improvements in customer-facing execution across the full USPC commercial engine.
A disciplined, enterprise-wide CEP operating model and integrated planning cadence that drives aligned decision-making.
Decision-ready insights that enable prioritization, trade-off clarity, and timely investment decisions at the SVP level and above.
Demonstrable gains in field force effectiveness across targeting, deployment, reach, and frequency.
Accelerated adoption of digital, AI-enabled, and platform-based customer engagement capabilities at scale.
A high-performing, well-developed Enablement and Sales Operations team that delivers consistent, high-impact support across PC United.
