Senior Medical Director, Global RSV Older Adult, Medical Affairs, MD

ROLE SUMMARY

The Sr. Medical Director, Global RSV Older Adult Medical Affairs (MA) will contribute to the productivity of Pfizer Global Respiratory Vaccines and Antivirals by contributing as part of a two person team that will lead medical affairs (MA) activities for Pfizer's experimental RSV vaccine for older adults. This vaccine has completed an initial phase 3 study and applications for licensure are being filed globally. The primary role of MA within Pfizer Vaccines is to lead data dissemination activities such in cross-functional team meetings; development of materials for internal dissemination and training; contribution to regulatory documents; publication of data summaries and position statements; organization of advisory boards with external experts; interacting with external experts at global congresses; organizing and providing oversight to systematic literature reviews; and contributing where appropriate to Pfizer studies led by Scientific Affairs colleagues within the Global Respiratory Vaccines and Antivirals Group. As an MD position, the position also will support 1) assessment and review of safety data from clinical trials and vaccine use once vaccine is introduced into national programs; 2) review and interpretation of clinical outcome data from studies undertaken by the medical team.

A large focus for the Global RSV Older Adult MA position will be to provide strategic input into cross-functional discussions and activities. This input will represent an integrated and aligned global medical position on scientific and medical issues relevant for RSV OA. The position also will contribute to a detailed strategy for RSV Older Adult vaccine launch, recommendations, and uptake. This will be achieved by working with different stakeholders including internally (research and development, commercial, regulatory, patient & health impact, value and evidence, public affairs at the global level and country medical colleagues at the local level) and externally (academia, government agencies, vaccine technical committees, non-profit organizations, etc.).

While the primary focus of this position is on RSV Vaccine among the older adult population globally, the position also will work on several other initiatives from a medical affairs position. These include and RSV antiviral currently in clinical development and a Group B Streptococcus (GBS) vaccine (while this vaccine is designed primarily for maternal immunization, Pfizer is exploring the possibility of using it for an older adult population). Additionally, Pfizer will study this vaccine in the 2-18 yo pediatric population and this position may contribute to this effort.

To achieve the above, the candidate should have core scientific knowledge (ideally in vaccines, RSV, or both), training in epidemiology, documented scientific success as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and congress presentations, high level communication skills, ability to take a substantial amount of complex data and communicate it at various levels, a broad network of peers, leadership ability, self-motivation, and ability to work in a highly matrixed group.
