BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, Technology, or related field.
  • Strong experience in leading operations and complex, cross-functional initiatives in a digital, product, consulting, or equivalent environment.
  • Demonstrated judgement operating next to senior leaders: what to escalate, what to close quietly, what to refuse.
  • Excellent structured communication — written and verbal — with executives and with delivery teams.
  • Experience running team operations and coordinating people, vendors, budgets, and timelines without becoming a bottleneck.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and with organisations in the middle of an operating-model change.
  • Ability to lead a small operations function and still do hands-on initiative work.

  • MBA or equivalent.
  • Chief-of-staff, studio operations, or digital programme leadership experience.
  • Healthcare, pharma, or other regulated-industry experience.

  • Previous management consulting experience in a top firm is a plus.
  • NON-STANDARD WORK SCHEDULE, TRAVEL OR ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS
  • Must be able to travel to Pfizer offices, vendor offices and other team meeting locations when required. Initiative work can require off-hours around leadership deadlines.
