Description

Our Mission & Strategy:

At Pfizer, we apply science and our global resources to bring therapies to people that aim to extend and significantly improve their lives. For 175 years, patients have trusted Pfizer to discover, develop, and deliver medical breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. Today, we collaborate with patients and patient advocates to help develop breakthrough treatments and innovative approaches to address patient challenges. These partnerships have helped to increase patient engagement in research and development, diversify clinical trials, develop patient-friendly educational materials and patient support programs, and elevate priority policy and social impact issues. To support Pfizer’s vision for its immunoglobulin (Ig) portfolio to transform the lives of people living with rare autoimmune conditions like Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), through innovative treatments and comprehensive care solutions, the Pfizer Specialty Care Patient Solutions team is building an innovative patient advocacy support program for the strong Ig portfolio to compliantly and tactically support patient journeys.

Job Brief:
