CESs aim to reach community groups that share in our mission to help overcome health disparities among minorities and other groups with disproportionately poorer vaccine uptake, health comes, or both

It’s a fast-paced, collaborative environment that requires an organized colleague with customer-facing and community engagement experience who is comfortable with ambiguity and has the ability to navigate the organization to get things done.

• Collaborate with other Customer Facing Colleagues, where appropriate, to identify areas of unmet need within the community and develop relationships with local partners
• Share lessons learned from community engagement beyond Consumer Marketing to inform broader community engagement efforts across Pfizer (e.g., Public affairs, Global Health Equity CoE)
• Document activity and generate reports documenting key performance metrics in collaboration with insights and analytics colleagues
• Share progress on vaccine adoption and equity initiatives with Multicultural Marketing & Health Equity colleagues
