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.

Role definition and key accountabilities include, but are not limited to:

Commercial Performance Reporting & Tracking

• Own the strategic direction of performance reporting for assigned oncology brands or franchises, including brand sales, TRx/NPS, market share, and attainment vs. targets, across weekly, monthly, and quarterly cadences.

• Direct the use of secondary data sources to identify trends, surface risks and opportunities, and connect data signals to brand strategy decisions.

• Guide analysis through the lens of defined patient segments, such as demographics, lines of therapy, treatment setting, and prior treatment history, to explain how disease characteristics and treatment patterns shape market dynamics, prescribing behavior, and patient flow.

• Oversee subnational analytics to identify geographic variation in brand performance and market dynamics, and make sure insights get surfaced proactively rather than on request.

• Ensure the integrity of enterprise reporting infrastructure (e.g., Oncology LT Dashboard) for assigned brands, including proactive identification of data anomalies and validation of analytical outputs.

• Connect reporting insights into a compelling, persuasive narrative and deliver clear, actionable recommendations to senior leadership.

• Identify emerging trends in the relevant disease and treatment landscape, including treatment sequencing, competitive dynamics, and evolving standard of care, and proactively frame the commercial implications for brand and franchise leadership.
  

Collaboration with Other Analytical Teams

• Align with other GCA teams to keep activity across stakeholders cohesive and to maintain consistency in methodology, metrics definitions, and reporting standards across the broader portfolio.

• Actively contribute to the advancement of team capabilities through thought leadership, and share knowledge and expertise with colleagues across GCA.

• Partner with other analytics functions to advance the use of novel data sources and reporting, including RWD and data science.

• Direct and assess the work of vendor partners, providing analytical direction, quality oversight, and risk management.

• Build trusted relationships with marketing, integrated insights, commercial excellence, data science, and market access stakeholders, translating complex analytical outputs into business language for VP and C-suite leaders.
  

• Strong analytical and coding skills (SQL, Python, or R) for querying, manipulating, and automating analytics on large datasets; experience in Snowflake or a comparable cloud data environment strongly preferred.

• Strong proficiency in data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, or similar) and the ability to direct the design of clean, decision-oriented dashboards.

• Extensive experience in the design and management of secondary data analytics, including direct experience with IQVIA, Symphony Health, or specialty pharmacy data.

• Strong reporting and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize and validate various inputs and communicate the story to commercial leadership.

• Recognized expertise and coach to others on connecting, integrating, and synthesizing analysis into a meaningful 7so what8 that drives clear strategic recommendations.

• Demonstrated experience managing vendor relationships and ensuring quality in deliverables.

• Proven ability to act as a strategic partner who can quickly establish relationships of trust and credibility with senior leadership.

• Ability to be flexible, prioritize multiple demands, deal with ambiguity, and lead teams through complex, cross-functional projects in a matrixed environment.

• Ability to identify, prioritize, and describe relevant caveats and uncertainties in data, and to explain how they relate to the business question and broader strategic priorities.

• Comfort working with AI tools in day-to-day analytical work and a genuine interest in staying current on how AI is changing analytics and commercial insights.

• Demonstrated business and financial acumen.
  

• 8+ years' experience in biopharma, analytics, strategic consulting, business, or a related field.

• Bachelor's degree required.

• Master's preferred in a quantitative discipline.

• Analytics, statistics, and/or database knowledge and experience using relevant tools, applications, and platforms.

• Prior experience supporting an oncology brand or franchise in a pharma commercial analytics or insights role preferred, with working knowledge of the relevant treatment landscape and competitive dynamics.

• Demonstrated success in a highly fast-paced setting.

• Ability to identify new issues, trends, and opportunities from data.

• Ability to influence without authority, setting business direction, priorities, and action plans.

• Demonstrated analytical capabilities and critical thinking skills.
