ROLE SUMMARY

Within Pfizer's Real World Evidence (RWE) Platform, the Integrated Evidence Plan (IEP) Success team operates as an internal advisory & production function - expertly engaging with cross-functional category and asset-aligned teams to oversee and facilitate the creation and routine refresh of individual IEPs for prioritized assets/programs, applying Pfizer's standardized IEP process to produce consistent, actionable plans.

The IEP is a critical tool to the evidence planning and execution process, establishing a living, tactical plan for evidence generation teams to follow and ensure more complete evidence packages are available to support regulatory, launch, and post-launch strategy. The IEP Director is a member of the IEP Success team with direct responsibility to drive process execution in the initial creation and subsequent management/refresh of an IEP for each assigned, priority asset or program in close partnerships with the respective RWE Leads for the asset. The IEP Director draws from robust knowledge of the drug development lifecycle to navigate the cross-functional asset team through the IEP process, facilitating discussions and negotiating decisions at each step relevant to the given asset's strategy and lifecycle stage. He or she understands the asset/program science to curate and synthesize information from available sources (TPP, CDP, literature reviews, etc) into IEP materials and discussions, establishing credibility with the asset team. Following the initial IEP creation, the IEP Director follows the progression of the IEP over the course of the asset's lifecycle to ensure approved, funded tactics are executed according to plan and monitors for new data or information as a trigger to review or refresh the IEP annually at minimum. The IEP Director, as the front line working directly with cross-functional asset teams across a variety of programs, also plays a critical role in identifying key learnings for process improvements and efficiencies, bringing recommendations to the central IEP team in support of a continuous improvement cycle for the IEP program overall.
