Our team philosophy is “Keep doing good work” and as per Pfizer’s Purpose Blueprint, “Win the Digital Race in Pharma.”

Role Overview:

Pfizer’s purpose, breakthroughs that change patients’ lives, is rooted in being a science-driven and patient-focused company. In Digital Manufacturing, we work with our world-class manufacturing facilities to accelerate supply and help get our products to patients faster.

For example, this includes owning the Digital Operations Center (DOC) product suite as it stands today while also looking for opportunities to expand and consolidate existing DOC capabilities to merge manufacturing, quality, and supply chain processes into a seamless, data-driven insight engine. DOC is a custom-Pfizer product suite designed to be a collaboration and management tool that enables a harmonized, digital view of manufacturing operations at all levels in the PGS organization and can be accessed on multiple devices.

In addition to developing new products, solutions, and dashboards, they will be expected to advance opportunities to consolidate data similar products within the existing portfolio.
