Role Summary

The Vice President, US Market Access, Emerging Landscape lead will report directly to the Senior Vice President, US Market Access & Pfizer Patient Services (USMAPPS), and serve as a member of the USMAPPS Leadership Team. This role will provide U.S. Market Access leadership on how external forces reshaping access — including 340B, medical benefit dynamics, PBM reform, and shifts in government policy — translate into market access strategy and organizational readiness.

The successful candidate will translate these complex and evolving dynamics into a clear USMAPPS point of view, coordinated response strategy, and practical actions that help the organization stay ahead of change.

In parallel, this leader will build and embed new organizational capabilities across USMAPPS, including AI-enabled workflows, decision-support tools, and new ways of working. The role requires a strategic, externally oriented leader who can form a strong point of view, influence across a matrixed organization, and ensure new capabilities are adopted in practice—not just developed as standalone initiatives.

Role Responsibilities

Emerging Access Landscape Strategy

• Serve as the owner for the USMAPPS point of view and response strategy on how medical benefit dynamics, 340B, PBM reform, government policy developments, and other emerging issues affect market access.
• Establish centers of excellence for priority capability areas, with clear accountabilities, decision rights, and operating models that connect to USMAPPS functions and business units.
• Continuously monitor the external environment and translate trends into actionable insights, implications, and recommendations for USMAPPS leadership.
• Lead the market access response to PBM Reform, partnering closely with Policy & Government Relations and other enterprise stakeholders to ensure USMAPPS strategy reflects and anticipates government policy developments.
• Create a coordinated USMAPPS posture on emerging issues, helping the organization move proactively and consistently rather than reacting function by function.

AI Integration & Enablement

• Lead the AI integration and enablement roadmap across USMAPPS workflows, decision-support tools, and priority business processes in partnership with the AI and Enabling Workflows teams.
• Identify, prioritize, and sequence high-value AI use cases across enabling capabilities, patient services, and customer engagement functions.
• Build business cases and implementation plans for AI-enabled workflow improvements, partnering with Business Operations and functional leaders to ensure feasibility, adoption, and measurable impact.

• Assess where new skills, tools, governance, or ways of working are needed across USMAPPS to keep pace with the changing external environment.
• Lead the design, build, and adoption of new capabilities so they are embedded into core workflows, decision-making forums, and business routines.
• Partner with functional leaders and business units to ensure emerging capabilities are practical, scalable, and aligned to enterprise priorities.
• Collaborate closely with Business Operations where capability building, workflow design, and execution responsibilities intersect.

Team Leadership & Talent

• Build, lead, and develop the Emerging Landscape team, including capability owners accountable for priority external issue areas and organizational enablement workstreams.
• Coach team members to operate as strategic owners who shape recommendations, influence decisions, and drive adoption—not simply monitor or report on external developments.
• Serve as a core member of the USMAPPS Leadership Team, contributing to enterprise strategy, leadership alignment, and cross-functional execution.
• Model Pfizer values and leader behaviors, with a focus on accountability, collaboration, enterprise thinking, and disciplined execution.
