Full Job Description

Director, AI Experimentation & Measurement

Pfizer US Commercial is scaling a portfolio of AI initiatives, each launched as an experiment measured against a real-world baseline. The value of that portfolio depends on one thing: a shared, credible definition of what good looks like plus the evidence to prove we are reaching it.

We are hiring a Director of Experimentation & Measurement to own that definition end to end. This is not a scorekeeping role. You will decide what is worth proving next, design the experiment that proves it, set the bar for success before the work begins, and tell the story of what the evidence means to the people making the biggest decisions. You areequal parts systems thinker, experiment designer, and storyteller, with the rigor to make sure the story is true.

This is a build-from-scratch role for someone who can see across a whole portfolio, frame the questions that matter most, and hold the independence to say when a result does not clear the bar.


What you will own

1. Success criteria & proof standards. Own the portfolio-wide standard for what counts as proof1efined before work begins, not afterresults land. Draft and socialize pre-registered success criteria for each initiative (primary KPIs, guardrails, minimum detectable effect, read windows). Maintain a shared measurement playbook (matched controls, power calculations, blinded review,backtesting where appropriate).

2. Portfolio learning agenda. Prioritize what the portfolio must prove next1and in whatsequence evidence compounds. Maintain a ranked learning agenda across initiatives and recommend the next proof point per initiative.

3. Experiment design & statistical rigor. Review experiment designs: control arms, audience matching, read windows, confounders, data leakage risks. Run power analysis and flag underpowered orungradeable designs beforelaunch.

4. Evidence narrative for senior leaders. Produce evidenceread memos on a fixed cadence: what was tested, what wasobserved, what it means, what is recommended. Synthesize across initiatives into one portfolio story1not a patchwork of disconnected scorecards.

5. Measurement integrity & bias controls. Guard against failure modes that quietly invalidate results: moving goalposts; letting thepeople a system is meant to outperform grade it; acting before pre-registered proof exists. Escalate when a read is notgradeable.

6. Evidence governance & readout cadence. Run evidence read sessions at pre-registered dates; own continue / adjust / stop recommendations with rationale; track whether recommendations are acted on.

Key stakeholders & accountability

Partners with initiative facilitators on criteria, design, and readouts. Influences BU Presidents and proxies by helping define their success criteria and reporting back whether evidence meets the bar. Reports results and implications to USLT and Chief Commercial Office as portfolio executive sponsors.
