For 175 years, Pfizer’s brand has stood for scientific rigor, innovation, and trust — one of the most recognized names in global healthcare. The Head of Pfizer Brand & Reputation is the enterprise leader responsible for shaping how that brand shows up in the world: not just how it looks, but how it acts. Across campaigns, corporate reputation, go-to-market strategy, and the visual and verbal identity that unifies it all, this leader sets the standard for a brand with real weight and real consequence.
This is a senior, highly visible role at the intersection of enterprise brand strategy, commercial go-to-market planning, and integrated campaign execution. They will lead bold, insight-driven campaigns that advance Pfizer’s most strategic priorities — including Oncology and other areas of enterprise focus — driving visibility, stakeholder engagement, and measurable business growth across global markets. Brand identity governance and stewardship remain important responsibilities, providing the connective tissue that ensures consistency and coherence across every initiative — including how Pfizer’s brand is expressed and protected in AI-enabled content environments.
Reporting to the Head of Pfizer Brand and Experience, this leader will manage a high-performing team, collaborate directly with Executive Leadership, Franchise and Therapeutic Area leaders, and partner closely with Corporate Communications, agency partners, and cross-functional stakeholders.

Conduct ongoing brand equity analysis to inform positioning and refine visual and messaging systems as markets, audiences, and content creation technologies evolve.
Collaborate directly with senior leaders across business units, the Chief Marketing Office, and Therapeutic Area teams to align brand strategy with business performance goals.
