Occupational and Environmental Toxicology Manager

Use Your Power for Purpose

The Occupational and Environmental Toxicology Manager contributes to a high performing product stewardship team through the characterization and communication of the occupational and environmental attributes of Pfizer’s product portfolio.  This role provides input to workplace safety and environmental risk assessment, and product stewardship compliance enabling our purpose driven Pfizer team to deliver their best work for patients every day in alignment with Pfizer’s Purpose Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives.

Working under the direction of the Sr. Director, Product Stewardship and with peers in the product stewardship team, the role provides an unequalled opportunity to shape the future direction of key product stewardship programs using intelligence gained through engagement with R&D and supply chain teams on the attributes of current and future products, emerging modalities and business priorities.

The role holds responsibility to identify, characterize, and communicate the hazards associated with established and pipeline products, to communicate the outcomes, and empower stakeholders through education to advance Quality, Safety, and Environmental Operations (QSEO) risk management priorities.

In scope includes the timely development, communication, and maintenance of:

• Occupational Exposure Values (OEVs) contributing to workplace safety programs,
• Predicted No-Effect Concentrations (PNECs) to facilitate environmental impact reduction,
• Product Classifications and Acceptable Daily Exposure (ADE) values to ensure product/patient safety; and
• Program governance documents including operational procedures and Pfizer Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).

What You Will Achieve

• With oversight of the Product Stewardship Lead, develops and drives optimization the operational standards, practices, and methodologies applied by the Pfizer Product Stewardship governance bodies, including the Technical Review Committee (TRC) and Environmental Technical Review Committee (eTRC), innovating as necessary, to address emerging modalities
• Drives TRC and eTRC work planning, aligned with product pipeline priorities, equipping team members with timely and effective preparatory information to enable efficient decision making
• Researches and compiles pertinent information related to human health and environmental hazards, using internal sources and external databases and literature searches
• Evaluates the potential hazards of Pfizer programs (including proprietary substances) to worker safety, the environment, and product/patient safety on the basis of study reports and guided by published scientific information and industry benchmark data
• Authors or otherwise oversees development of work products (e.g., OEV, PNEC, and ADE value monographs), providing traceability to data sources contributing to the evaluation; maintains content for user accessibility
• Authors SDSs (as needed) and collaborates with team members who hold SDS authoring responsibilities to ensure transfer and interpretation of relevant hazard data and timely and accurate development / updates of SDSs and associated product labels
• Leads work processes to advance program effectiveness, e.g., through stakeholder engagement surveys and digitization of work processes to optimize throughput
• Oversees worker and environmental safety testing programs at external toxicology labs to augment available non-clinical and clinical data relevant to hazard characterization for new product introduction and to support chemical registration data requirements (e.g., European Union (EU) Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals [REACH])
• Maintains active and productive engagement with both industry forums and internal stakeholders to advance program needs based on trends in emergent modalities and key business priorities and future direction; uses the intelligence gathered to build operational practices, further increasing the robustness of product stewardship programs
• Contributes to the development of effective communication and educational resources on the hazard classifications and how they should be applied to ensure risk management effectiveness
• Partners with EHS and operational teams (including engineering & facilities) to develop risk assessments, leading to the selection and implementation of contemporary control practices
• Contributes to Occupational Risk Evaluations and occupational hygiene, biosafety, workplace safety and environment program development aligned with technical skillsets and competencies, thereby ensuring risk management practices remain aligned with hazard profiles
