Role Summary

As part of Pfizer Germany's Strategic Roadmap 2030, Therapeutic Area Value Max will serve as a dedicated strategic growth pillar focused on maximizing patient, healthcare-system and business value across prioritized in-market assets. Medical Affairs will act as a strategic partner to the Therapeutic Area by providing scientific leadership, medical governance, stakeholder engagement, insight generation, scientific communication and cross-functional partnership.

This role combines scientific credibility, strategic business partnering, organizational leadership, change management and external engagement to strengthen Medical Affairs contribution to value maximization across the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Help shape the Medical Affairs plan for Therapeutic Area Value Max, lead high-quality scientific communication and medical education, and turn medical insights into prioritized actions that enhance stakeholder value and lifecycle impact.

Lifecycle Excellence, Cross-functional Leadership & AI

• Support medical lifecycle readiness across prioritized Value Max assets, including mature brands and indication opportunities, enabling scientific differentiation and sustainable asset value through insight-driven prioritization.
• Partner with Commercial, Market Access, Regulatory, Public Affairs, Health & Value and other cross-functional, global and international stakeholders to enable integrated Value Max execution while upholding scientific integrity and non-promotional boundaries.
• Champion the transformation of Medical Affairs toward an AI-enabled, insight-driven organization, serving as a role model for AI fluency, scientific judgement, human oversight and responsible data stewardship.
• Ensure all Medical Affairs activities comply with country-specific legal, regulatory and Pfizer policy parameters, upholding the highest standards of scientific integrity, ethical conduct, pharmacovigilance and medical governance.
