Own and drive AI initiatives end-to-end: plan and track milestones, manage dependencies, remove risks and blockers, coordinate vendors and resources, facilitate cross-functional decisions (Medical, Legal, Regulatory, Compliance, Privacy), run governance and reviews, and produce clear status and reporting to leadership while promoting AI-enabled operating models.
ROLE SUMMARY
As Program Manager / Delivery Facilitator, Commercial AI, you are the operational backbone of an AI initiative. You turn an initiative's goals into a running program: you own the plan and key milestones, drive cadence, manage dependencies and risk, coordinate vendors and contractors, and keep the delivery team, the business sponsor, and the governance functions moving as one. You are the single source of truth for where the work stands, what is blocked, and what happens next.
This is not a traditional scheduling role. You are AI-literate enough to manage technical delivery - to understand what the engineers are building, facilitate technical and delivery decisions, and translate between business intent and technical execution. You report into the Commercial AI Transformation & Delivery organization and partner closely with the initiative's technical lead and its business sponsor. Typically one program manager supports each major initiative.
Why This Role Matters
Complex AI work moves only as fast as its weakest coordination point. You remove that constraint. As part of how Pfizer turns its AI ambition into delivered outcomes, you create the operational discipline that lets a small, senior, technical team move at pace without losing control - keeping delivery, decisions, and risks visible and on track.
Candidate Profile
You are a delivery leader who is comfortable in technical territory. You can hold a complex program in your head, see the critical path before it becomes a problem, and drive decisions across business and engineering stakeholders. You are credible with engineers because you understand the work, and credible with executives because you make the state of the work legible and honest.
ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES
1) Program & Delivery Management - Own the initiative plan and key milestones. Drive cadence and ceremonies, track progress against goals, manage dependencies and critical path, and keep delivery on schedule.
2) Risk, Issue & Blocker Removal - Surface risks early, drive them to resolution, and escalate with options. Remove blockers across teams and functions before they slow the work.
3) Vendor & Resource Coordination - Coordinate vendors, contractors, and full-time resources against the plan. Track scope, deliverables, and spend; hold partners to commitments; flag capacity gaps early.
4) Cross-Functional Facilitation - Be the connective tissue between the delivery team, the business sponsor, and Medical, Legal, Regulatory, Compliance, and Privacy. Facilitate decisions, capture them, and make sure they stick.
5) Governance & Reviews - Prepare and run delivery and decision reviews. Make the state of the work legible to leadership - what is on track, what is at risk, and what decision is needed.
6) Operating-Model & Change Support - Support adoption of AI-enabled ways of working within the initiative, and capture learnings for reuse across the portfolio.
7) Reporting & Communication - Produce clear, honest status for the VP, business sponsor, and governance forums. Maintain the single source of truth on status, decisions, and risks.
