The vision for Pfizer’s Digital function is a more integrated and coordinated healthcare model that improves patient outcomes, fuels tomorrow’s breakthrough therapies, and brings medicines to patients faster.

Within Pfizer Digital, the

Biopharma, Patient & CDI

group builds solutions for external customers throughout the product lifecycle. We support stakeholders to engage external customers through digital solutions, whether that is patients, HCPs, payors, pharmacists, or clinical sites.

The

Biopharma, Patient & CDI

are thought partners and technical solution providers to commercial arms of the business (e.g., Pfizer’s salesforce or marketers), working at the intersection of technology and healthcare.

The role is focused on leading the technical direction and strategy for MarTech tools that power the content supply chain, including having a deep understanding of our content platform stack and defining solutions that propel our Marketing partners in achieving business objectives.

Our vision is to innovate and engineer breakthrough digital products to power business performance and transform global health. We do this through our culture of agile, fast-adapting and pioneer working.

Role Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Principal Engineer who will be accountable for technical engineering decisions, solution designs, and delivery, as well as operations of their assigned program. In this technical leadership role, you will act as the executor and the visionary behind technical solutions. You will lead teams of between 10 and 25 technical resources to solve complex engineering problems, craft the technical designs and ensure a successful delivery of high-quality products and services from inception to completion.

This role requires exceptional technical knowledge, strong management skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams while sharing responsibility with the other program leads for achieving the desired objectives.

You will also be accountable for delivery of security-and privacy-first capabilities while creating an environment where engineers can do their best work.
