The Product Lead drives innovation by closely working with business stakeholders and a team of engineers to translate prioritized business opportunities into digital solutions across the full spectrum of delivery—from early concepts to scaled products. This role blends business engagement with technical execution, enabling Pfizer to accelerate delivery, reduce complexity, and create measurable value.

Operating at the intersection of business priorities, technical design, and product delivery, Product Lead advances concepts into validated solutions, leads iterative development of the product and scale across the enterprise. The role has responsibility for managing stakeholder relationships, shaping product strategies, and ensuring solutions meet both technical rigor and customer needs.

The role focuses on hands‑on product leadership—establishing clear product vision, strategy, and roadmaps, and ensuring that solutions are built, tested, and refined efficiently.

• Define and communicate a clear product vision and strategy that prioritizes speed, experimentation, and learning through iterative delivery.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including engineering, design, and business stakeholders—to quickly test hypotheses and refine product direction based on user feedback and data.
• Establish and manage a lean product roadmap focused on delivering high-impact features with minimal viable scope, while maintaining flexibility to pivot based on insights.
• Drive agile ceremonies and sprint planning with a focus on short cycles, fast feedback loops, and continuous improvement.
• Champion a culture of experimentation, encouraging A/B testing, user research, and analytics to inform product decisions.
• Ensure solutions are scalable and extensible, laying the groundwork for future enhancements while meeting immediate business needs.
• Lead the creation of user stories, solution designs, and wireframes that reflect user‑centric design principles and solve real‑world problems.
• Manage stakeholder expectations by clearly communicating trade‑offs, timelines, and outcomes of solution launches.
• Foster a team environment that embraces ambiguity, adapts quickly to change, and thrives on delivering tangible results in compressed timeframes.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS :

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field.
• Strong product management experience, with a strong emphasis on end‑to‑end solution delivery, agile methodologies, and iterative development.

• Experience working in fast‑paced environments where speed and adaptability are critical.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and translate insights into actionable product decisions.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills to align diverse stakeholders around product goals and outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to lead without authority through ambiguity and deliver high‑impact solutions quickly.
