About the Role

Pfizer is seeking a Director of Analytic Strategy and Innovation to lead high-visibility strategic initiatives within a portfolio of complex analytics and AI programs across Global Commercial Analytics (GCA) and the Chief Marketing Office (CMO). This role is a transformation lead responsible for taking strategic initiatives from business case through planning, delivery, deployment, and adoption, partnering with various business and technical teams to land priorities.

Responsibilities

Lead strategic initiatives end to end, partnering with IIS, Data Science, Data Engineering, Analytic Excellence, and partner teams across Sales, Marketing, Operations and Finance.
Shape the business case, establish scope, schedule and accountabilities, manage risks, dependencies and decisions through delivery, and own the transition into adoption.
Work with the ASI Lead and GCA leadership to connect initiatives to the broader portfolio, managed with agility to pivot as priorities change.
Lead one to two complex, cross-functional strategic initiatives at a time, from business case and problem definition through execution, deployment and adoption.
Develop and own the business case: define the problem, quantify the opportunity, frame options, and recommend an approach that balances impact, cost, resourcing, timeline, likelihood of success and risk.
Build and own integrated program plans, translating objectives into milestones, deliverables, decision points and accountabilities across matrixed teams and external partners.
Partner with the product owner on scope, sequencing and release planning so program commitments are met; bring data and planning expertise to prioritization trade-offs.
Act as the business translator between commercial leaders, analytics and data science teams, and technology and platform partners, so requirements, constraints and decisions are understood on all sides.
Proactively identify and resolve risks, dependencies and delivery challenges, and escalate decisions to leadership when necessary.
Lead executive communications for initiatives, including roadmaps, business cases, progress, trade-offs and recommendations, and conduct periodic reviews with executive sponsors.
Drive the development and implementation of OKRs for initiatives, consistent with GCA and CMO priorities, and track outcomes after deployment.
Create and execute change management and adoption plans, from pilot through deployment, in partnership with change management and training resources.
Manage business-critical metrics on workload, delivery and performance across the ASI portfolio for the ASI Lead, and build the analytic products that track them.
Support the ASI Lead on group strategy and strategic assessments as needed.
Promote innovation and challenge the status quo: identify new opportunities and areas of waste, and propose solutions.
Demonstrate foresight and judgment in complex decisions and bring clarity to ambiguous situations for cross-functional teams.
Lead regular communication with teammates, partners and leadership.
Stay current on industry trends, emerging technologies and best practices in commercial analytics, AI, program and product management, and recommend improvements.
