About the Role

The Senior Manager, Early Commercial Rheumatology, GI, and Neurology is a key role within the Inflammation & Immunology (I&I) Early Commercial Business, part of the Global Commercial Strategy organization. This role will contribute to long-range commercial strategy, disease-area portfolio prioritization, early commercial assessments, and investment decision support across Rheumatology, GI, and Neurology priorities within the I&I portfolio. The broader I&I and Rare Disease portfolio represents significant strategic value to realizing Pfizer's vision to achieve leadership via breakthroughs in prioritized diseases and biological axes, with the goal of generating highly differentiated, multi-indication mega-blockbusters.

This role requires a commercial strategist who can operate across ambiguity, influence senior cross-functional stakeholders, and advance disciplined trade-off decisions, long-range portfolio thinking, and AI-enabled ways of working in support of patient impact and enterprise value realization.

Lead development of executive-ready materials that communicate strategic rationale, opportunity attractiveness, trade-offs, and recommended actions.
Partner with cross-functional leaders to align on key choices related to indication sequencing, evidence generation, market development, and lifecycle opportunities.
Support disciplined decision-making by ensuring assigned disease-area recommendations are grounded in patient need, scientific opportunity, market potential, access dynamics, and enterprise value.
Lead early commercial assessments for pipeline assets, mechanisms, indications, disease-area opportunities, and potential future product concepts across assigned areas.

Influence without direct authority by aligning stakeholders around shared insights, strategic choices, and implications for the I&I portfolio.
Build trusted working relationships across R&D, Medical Affairs, GASP, BAI, Competitive Intelligence, Business Development, and Commercial Regions.
Foster a culture of enterprise thinking, scientific curiosity, accountability, collaboration, and talent development within the team.
