Global Commercial Strategy (GCS)

Inflammation & Immunology (Launch Team)

Who can apply?

Applicants must be completing a placement as part of a degree course at a UK University, either through Year in Industry/Industrial Placement or Gap Year.

Department Overview

This role is part of a Global Commercial team in Inflammation & Immunology, within Pfizer's Global Commercial Strategy (GCS) organisation. GCS brings a single commercial voice to R&D and provides strategic leadership across the full lifecycle of our medicines, from early development through to launch and beyond. Within GCS, the Global Commercial function defines the global marketing strategy for our medicines and how it is delivered around the world, working closely with Global Access Strategy & Pricing and the GCS Platforms, like Launch Excellence.

Our team is preparing for the launch of a potential first-in-class medicine, currently in Phase 3 clinical trials, for dermatomyositis and polymyositis. These are rare, progressive autoimmune diseases affecting the skin and muscles, where patients often wait years for a diagnosis and treatment options remain very limited. We are a small, high-performing global team that works across rheumatology, dermatology and neurology, partnering every day with Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Market Access, Insights & Analytics, our US and International commercial teams, and external agencies and vendors, to help bring this medicine to patients and support Pfizer's purpose: breakthroughs that change patients' lives.

Your placement year falls during an important period of launch preparation, giving you a front-row view of how a new medicine is readied for patients around the world.

What can I achieve and what will I be accountable for whilst completing a placement at Pfizer?

This role provides a unique opportunity to be part of the launch preparation of a new treatment for people living with a serious and rare condition. As our undergraduate placement, you'll join us as a valued member of our global commercial team, working with experienced colleagues across commercial, medical and market access on the real priorities of a live launch programme.

You'll start by owning well-defined tasks and, as your confidence and experience grow, take on more. Along the way you'll build the skills that matter in any business career: organising and coordinating projects, communicating with colleagues and external partners, working with numbers and budgets, researching and summarising information, and working effectively in a global, virtual, cross-functional team. You'll also develop core marketing capabilities; understanding customers and the market, shaping how a brand is positioned, and bringing creativity to the way insights and ideas are turned into compelling materials. You will also see first‑hand how commercial, medical and access teams work together to prepare a new medicine for launch.

By the end of the year, you will have:

• Presented your own work to senior leaders across the US and International teams
• Attended EULAR 2027, Europe's largest rheumatology congress, with the team
• Owned the competitive intelligence summaries the team relies on to understand the market
• Developed marketing fundamentals; insight, positioning, messaging and creative development, through Marketing Academy and hands‑on work on a live launch
• Learned how a multi-million launch budget is planned and controlled
• Built a portfolio of tangible contributions you can talk about in any graduate interview

Pfizer offers a diverse and supportive environment with many opportunities to grow and develop. This is a great chance to be part of the bigger picture, to understand how the pharmaceutical industry works and the range of careers it offers, and to finish the year with a portfolio of tangible contributions to a live launch programme.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Launch readiness : keep the team's launch readiness tracker current, follow up on actions and milestones with colleagues, and present short status updates in team meetings
• Competitive intelligence : monitor the competitor landscape using publicly available sources (news, publications, clinical trial registries, congress abstracts) and turn it into concise updates for the team
• Vendor partnership : be our day-to-day contact for our competitive intelligence agency, coordinating requests, track
