Integrated Evidence Plan (IEP) Director - Pfizer

**ROLE SUMMARY** Within Pfizer's Real World Evidence (RWE) Platform, the Integrated Evidence Plan (IEP) Success team operates as an internal advisory & production function - expertly engaging with cross-functional category and asset-aligned teams to oversee and facilitate the creation and routine refresh of individual IEPs for prioritized assets/programs, applying Pfizer's standardized IEP process to produce consistent, actionable plans. The IEP is a critical tool to the evidence planning and execution process, establishing a living, tactical plan for evidence generation teams to follow and ensure more complete evidence packages are available to support regulatory, launch, and post-launch strategy. The IEP Director is a member of the IEP Success team with direct responsibility to drive process execution in the initial creation and subsequent management/refresh of an IEP for each assigned, priority asset or program in close partnerships with the respective RWE Leads for the asset. The IEP Director draws from robust knowledge of the drug development lifecycle to navigate the cross-functional asset team through the IEP process, facilitating discussions and negotiating decisions at each step relevant to the given asset's strategy and lifecycle stage. He or she understands the asset/program science to curate and synthesize information from available sources (TPP, CDP, literature reviews, etc) into IEP materials and discussions, establishing credibility with the asset team. Following the initial IEP creation, the IEP Director follows the progression of the IEP over the course of the asset's lifecycle to ensure approved, funded tactics are executed according to plan and monitors for new data or information as a trigger to review or refresh the IEP annually at minimum. The IEP Director, as the front line working directly with cross-functional asset teams across a variety of programs, also plays a critical role in identifying key learnings for process improvements and efficiencies, bringing recommendations to the central IEP team in support of a continuous improvement cycle for the IEP program overall. **ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES** + Drive process execution, creation, management, and maintenance of individual IEPs for assigned assets/programs + Expertly lead & facilitate meaningful discussions resulting in aligned decisions among a diverse, cross-functional team of asset Leads + Apply scientific expertise to data curation in the development of IEP materials, workshop facilitation, and decision-making among cross-functional asset team + Establish proficiency in digital evidence catalog to enable rapid connections between existing studies/analyses with relevance to new IEPs + Monitor progress of approved, funded IEP tactics by assigned functional owners + Triage relevant data and information updates to ascertain appropriate timing for IEP review & refresh cycles + Maintain working knowledge of existing IEPs to proactively identify/recommend synergies or commonalities between IEPs, especially for franchise or common disease area assets + Provide continuous feedback to IEP Success Team on opportunities for improved process efficiencies, cross-functional stakeholder engagement, training, or other aspects of the IEP program operations + Develop and maintain strong relationships with both RWE Platform and other functional area colleagues involved in the IEP process (CMAOs, CSI, Clinical, Regulatory, Safety, GAV, Patient Advocacy, and others) + Contribute thought capital and direct input/execution as needed to overall IEP Program development, training, and reporting activities **BASIC QUALIFICATIONS** Candidate demonstrates a breadth of leadership experiences and capabilities including: the ability to work effectively among peers and leaders, tactfully but decisively facilitating time-bound processes for complex programs with diverse participant perspectives, develop and coach others through influence, and oversee and guide the work of colleagues to achieve meaningful outcomes and create business impact. + Bachelor's degree in one of the disciplines related to drug development or business management required +10 years' combined experience working in the pharmaceutical industry and/or an adjacent industry, such as biotech or management consulting for pharmaceutical companies, with at least 7 years managing multiple, highly complex projects and portfolio governance. + Exceptional interpersonal skills and mastery of working in a matrix environment. + Demonstrated capability to synthesize large amounts of data and information into meaningful content + Strong writing, presentation and influencing skills. + Strong project, time management, and organizational skills + Executive presence and ability to interact effectively with all levels of the organization. + Highly skilled discussion facilitator, able to navigate strong opinions and tactfully negotiate final consensus/decisions + Thrives under pressure;
