ROLE SUMMARY
At Pfizer Oncology, we are committed to “Outdo Cancer” by advancing transformative medicines wherever we can make a profound difference in patients’ lives. With a leading portfolio across breast, genitourinary (GU), hematology-oncology, gastrointestinal, and thoracic cancers, we are building a pipeline designed to change standards of care—and to do it at scale.
The US Precision Medicine/Thoracic Franchise is poised for significant growth as we prepare for potential breakthrough launches, including Sigvotatug Vedotin (SGN-B6A), an investigational antibody-drug conjugate in development for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid tumors. This is a rare opportunity for an enterprise commercial leader to build and lead the US strategy for a high-impact asset—shaping the go-to-market approach, accelerating readiness across functions, and bringing a differentiated value story to customers and patients.
As Vice President, US Team Lead, you will set the US brand vision and mobilize a cross-functional operating model spanning Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Insights & Analytics, and Global partners. You will be accountable for strategic choices, investment governance, and performance outcomes, while building an inclusive, high-performing team that can execute with speed, rigor, and integrity in a dynamic external environment.
- Lead end-to-end US strategy from pre-launch through launch and into sustained performance
- Lead the US brand team and cross-functional launch operating model
- Own investment governance and outcomes, partnering closely with Finance and senior franchise leadership
- Translate breakthrough science into impact for patients with NSCLC and other solid tumors
This is a builder’s role at the moment it matters most: taking a high-potential, highly visible oncology asset from pre-launch through launch and into sustained impact. You will have enterprise-level ownership—setting the US vision, making the strategic trade-offs, and mobilizing Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Insights & Analytics, and Global partners around a single, integrated plan.
For a talented, ambitious leader, this is a chance to define your legacy—with direct exposure to senior franchise and enterprise stakeholders, the opportunity to hire and shape a high-performing team, and the mandate to create a differentiated go-to-market story grounded in insight and evidence. If you’re energized by complexity, motivated by purpose, and driven to deliver results with integrity, this role offers the scale, autonomy, and mission to do your best work.

Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives
Research confirms what intuition tells us: that purpose-driven companies perform better, are more innovative, attract and retain the best people, and know how to unleash the power of those people. Pfizer’s purpose—Breakthroughs that change patients' lives—fuels everything we do and reflects our passion for building on our legacy as one of the greatest contributors of good to the world.
Each word in our purpose has meaning and reflects the value we strive to bring to patients and society:
“Breakthroughs” - These are the innovations, scientific and commercial, that we seek to deliver every day. All colleagues, regardless of role, level or location, strive for breakthroughs every day.
“Change” - We want to do more than simply improve patients’ medical conditions; we want to dramatically change their lives for the better.
“Patients’ lives” - We consider not only patients, but everyone they touch—including their families, caregivers, and friends—and everything they love to do. It’s an intentionally holistic view.
Our purpose ensures that patients remain at the center of all we do. We live our purpose by sourcing the best science in the world; partnering with others in the healthcare system to improve access to our medicines; using digital technologies to enhance our drug discovery and development, as well as patient outcomes; and leading the conversation to advocate for pro-innovation/pro-patient policies.
Every decision we make and every action we take is done with the patient in mind—and to nurture an environment where breakthroughs can thrive.
Our Values
To fully realize Pfizer’s purpose, we have established a clear set of expectations regarding “what” we need to achieve for patients and “how” we will go about achieving those goals.
The “how” is represented by four simple, powerful values—courage, excellence, equity, and joy—that define our company and our culture.
Courage: Breakthroughs start by challenging convention, especially in the face of uncertainty or adversity. This happens when we think big, speak up, and are decisive.
Excellence: We can only change patients’ lives when we perform at our best together. This happens when we focus on what matters, agree who does what, and measure our outcomes.
Equity: We believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for. This happens when we are inclusive, act with integrity, and reduce healthcare disparities.
Joy: We give ourselves to our work, but it also gives to us. We find joy when we take pride, recognize one another, and have fun.
