US PCV / Prevnar Adult Consumer Marketing Lead

ROLE SUMMARY   

Vaccines is the only place in Pfizer where you can contribute to patients in a way like no other – you can help prevent sickness and disease. This is at the heart of what drives us every day and brings us great #Joy. It’s an exciting time to be in US Vaccines, with one of the strongest pipelines in the industry and with multiple product launches. The Prevnar franchise is a cornerstone of the US Vaccines business and one of Pfizer's most significant global brands — generating $6.5 billion in global revenue in 2025 and representing 25 years of leadership in pneumococcal disease prevention, from Prevnar to Prevnar 13 to Prevnar 20. By the end of 2025, Pfizer had delivered the 3-billionth dose of Prevnar across current and past versions of the vaccine, a milestone that reflects the franchise's strong heritage. Driving consumer vaccination in this environment — through branded and unbranded advertising, disease education, and retail pull-through — is central to protecting and growing the franchise.
