Vice President, US Market Access, Emerging Landscape
- United States - New York - New York City
- United States - Any Pfizer Site
Role Summary
The Vice President, US Market Access, Emerging Landscape lead will report directly to the Senior Vice President, US Market Access & Pfizer Patient Services (USMAPPS), and serve as a member of the USMAPPS Leadership Team. This role will provide U.S. Market Access leadership on how external forces reshaping access — including 340B, medical benefit dynamics, PBM reform, and shifts in government policy — translate into market access strategy and organizational readiness.
The successful candidate will translate these complex and evolving dynamics into a clear USMAPPS point of view, coordinated response strategy, and practical actions that help the organization stay ahead of change.
In parallel, this leader will build and embed new organizational capabilities across USMAPPS, including AI-enabled workflows, decision-support tools, and new ways of working. The role requires a strategic, externally oriented leader who can form a strong point of view, influence across a matrixed organization, and ensure new capabilities are adopted in practice—not just developed as standalone initiatives.
Role Responsibilities
Emerging Access Landscape Strategy
- Serve as the owner for the USMAPPS point of view and response strategy on how medical benefit dynamics, 340B, PBM reform, government policy developments, and other emerging issues affect market access.

- Continuously monitor the external environment and translate trends into actionable insights, implications, and recommendations for USMAPPS leadership.
- Lead the market access response to PBM Reform, partnering closely with Policy & Government Relations and other enterprise stakeholders to ensure USMAPPS strategy reflects and anticipates government policy developments.
- Create a coordinated USMAPPS posture on emerging issues, helping the organization move proactively and consistently rather than reacting function by function.
AI Integration & Enablement
- Lead the AI integration and enablement roadmap across USMAPPS workflows, decision-support tools, and priority business processes in partnership with the AI and Enabling Workflows teams.
- Identify, prioritize, and sequence high-value AI use cases across enabling capabilities, patient services, and customer engagement functions.
- Build business cases and implementation plans for AI-enabled workflow improvements, partnering with Business Operations and functional leaders to ensure feasibility, adoption, and measurable impact.

- Assess where new skills, tools, governance, or ways of working are needed across USMAPPS to keep pace with the changing external environment.
- Lead the design, build, and adoption of new capabilities so they are embedded into core workflows, decision-making forums, and business routines.
- Partner with functional leaders and business units to ensure emerging capabilities are practical, scalable, and aligned to enterprise priorities.
- Collaborate closely with Business Operations where capability building, workflow design, and execution responsibilities intersect.
Team Leadership & Talent
- Build, lead, and develop the Emerging Landscape team, including capability owners accountable for priority external issue areas and organizational enablement workstreams.
- Coach team members to operate as strategic owners who shape recommendations, influence decisions, and drive adoption—not simply monitor or report on external developments.
- Serve as a core member of the USMAPPS Leadership Team, contributing to enterprise strategy, leadership alignment, and cross-functional execution.
- Model Pfizer values and leader behaviors, with a focus on accountability, collaboration, enterprise thinking, and disciplined execution.

Market Access
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.
