Ensure medical requirements are accurately defined (e.g. lab specifications) during CRO/vendor selection to ensure study is conducted consistent with protocol requirements and/or clinical development plan expectations.
Site interactions:
Develop and maintain peer to peer relationships with healthcare professionals at clinical trial sites (in collaboration with RCSLs when assigned to a study).
Participate and lead site staff training or retraining when medical input is required (e.g. Investigator meetings, study site initiation visits, protocol specific training, training in response to other medical issues that may arise).

Act as a point of contact for medical questions at site level and responsible for clarifications to site personnel regarding interpretation of protocol and medical practice, leveraging the RMM organization if assigned to the study.
Other external interactions: Participate in medical interactions with opinion leaders, regulatory agencies and payers in development of clinical plan and protocols.
Interact (as applicable) with data monitoring committees, endpoint adjudication committees and steering committees when medical questions/problems are surfaced which require feedback input from the study team.
Study team and/or clinical program interactions:
Develop, participate and lead study team training or retraining when medical input is required (e.g. protocol specific training, training in response to other medical issues that may arise).
Conduct medical review and interpretation of efficacy and safety data during study conduct, including regular review of individual subject safety data and review of cumulative safety data with the safety risk lead (when assigned to a clinical program) consistent with the Safety Review Plan.
Oversight and, as necessary, remediation of risks identified during risk assessment and mitigation planning which require oversight by a medically qualified individual.
Provide project team with medical advice for other program related activities which are not related to a specific clinical study (e.g. interpretation of preclinical data).
Review on a regular basis SAE reports for early identification of potential safety issues.
Liaise regularly with RMMs when assigned to the study to ensure knowledge sharing and global consistency in medical oversight activities.
Medical review of efficacy and safety data in support of development of top-line report and clinical study report in collaboration with the study team, particularly with regards overall conclusions on safety, efficacy and benefit-risk assessment.
Provide medical advice and oversight to the study team or clinical program in response to audits or inspections, including providing medical advice and support for audit/inspection responses (e.g. site visits if specific medical expertise is required to further investigate or remediate findings).
May co-author abstracts, posters, presentations and publications.
Technical/Behavioral Competencies:
Proven ability to get results in a matrixed management environment.
Knowledgeable of the commercial and environmental issues that drive clinical programs.

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.
