Pfizer

Vice President, US Brand Lead – Sigvotatug Vedotin

United States - New York - New York City Full time

ROLE SUMMARY

At Pfizer Oncology, we are committed to “Outdo Cancer” by advancing transformative medicines wherever we can make a profound difference in patients’ lives. With a leading portfolio across breast, genitourinary (GU), hematology-oncology, gastrointestinal, and thoracic cancers, we are building a pipeline designed to change standards of care—and to do it at scale.

The US Precision Medicine/Thoracic Franchise is poised for significant growth as we prepare for potential breakthrough launches, including Sigvotatug Vedotin (SGN-B6A), an investigational antibody-drug conjugate in development for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid tumors. This is a rare opportunity for an enterprise commercial leader to build and lead the US strategy for a high-impact asset—shaping the go-to-market approach, accelerating readiness across functions, and bringing a differentiated value story to customers and patients.

As Vice President, US Team Lead, you will set the US brand vision and mobilize a cross-functional operating model spanning Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Insights & Analytics, and Global partners. You will be accountable for strategic choices, investment governance, and performance outcomes, while building an inclusive, high-performing team that can execute with speed, rigor, and integrity in a dynamic external environment.

  • Lead end-to-end US strategy from pre-launch through launch and into sustained performance
  • Lead the US brand team and cross-functional launch operating model
  • Own investment governance and outcomes, partnering closely with Finance and senior franchise leadership
  • Translate breakthrough science into impact for patients with NSCLC and other solid tumors

This is a builder’s role at the moment it matters most: taking a high-potential, highly visible oncology asset from pre-launch through launch and into sustained impact. You will have enterprise-level ownership—setting the US vision, making the strategic trade-offs, and mobilizing Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Insights & Analytics, and Global partners around a single, integrated plan.

For a talented, ambitious leader, this is a chance to define your legacy—with direct exposure to senior franchise and enterprise stakeholders, the opportunity to hire and shape a high-performing team, and the mandate to create a differentiated go-to-market story grounded in insight and evidence. If you’re energized by complexity, motivated by purpose, and driven to deliver results with integrity, this role offers the scale, autonomy, and mission to do your best work.
