We are seeking a Senior Director, Business Technology Strategy to serve as the primary liaison between Pfizer’s business divisions and Digital, strategically aligning divisional technology needs to our eight Digital Core Platforms and digital standards. This leader will oversee a team of Director-level Technical Specialists and ensure that divisional programs and projects reinforce — rather than diverge from — the enterprise platform strategy. The role is accountable for connecting business-division priorities with Pfizer’s platform and architecture standards, ensuring divisional programs and projects reuse shared capabilities and adhere to digital standards. Working closely with senior business and Digital leaders, this leader sets divisional technology direction, resolves cross-division trade-offs, and ensures the right technical specialists are aligned to the most important divisional outcomes. This position requires a senior leader with strong business partnership, communication, and organizational skills who can operate at the intersection of business strategy, technology strategy, platform alignment, and governance. The Senior Director will create clarity from complexity, chair the Architecture Review Board, develop senior technical talent, and establish practical direction that helps Pfizer’s divisions deliver faster, safer, and more reusable digital capabilities at global scale.

• Proven ability to lead and develop senior technical talent, including Director-level specialists and other senior technical colleagues.

• Serve as the primary liaison between the business divisions and Digital, understanding divisional priorities and translating them into aligned technology direction and platform adoption.
