Director, Performance Analytics & Insights
Oncology | Global Commercial Analytics
Global Commercial Analytics (GCA) harnesses the power of data to drive robust analytical insights that inform some of Pfizer's most critical business questions. Within Oncology, our Performance Analytics & Insights (PAI) team translates complex secondary data, including IQVIA, Symphony, specialty pharmacy, and others into commercial strategy. We connect what the data says to what the business does, sitting at the intersection of brand strategy, patient access, and business performance. Our work directly shapes how Pfizer's oncology portfolio reaches the patients who need it most.
This role will work closely with senior business stakeholders across brand, franchise, and commercial leadership, acting as a strategic partner and directing performance tracking and reporting across one or more oncology brands or franchises. That includes brand demand, market share, patient segments, and subnational performance patterns. This role will also lead efforts to standardize methodology and reporting practices across the Oncology PAI portfolio. The role is dynamic, fast-paced, and highly collaborative, covering a broad range of strategic topics critical to the oncology business. The successful candidate will join a team dedicated to driving business impact through proactive thought leadership, deep oncology fluency, and the ability to communicate complex information in clear, actionable ways.
