AI Portfolio & Delivery Lead (PM)

Use Your Power for Purpose

The AI Portfolio & Delivery Lead is a high-impact transformation role chartered to convert Pfizer Global Supply’s (PGS) AI-native ambition into scaled, sustained operational value across the Global Hospital & Biosimilars manufacturing network (GH&B MFG). Reporting directly to the GH&B Operational Excellence & AI Transformation Lead, this individual will serve as the enterprise orchestrator of GH&B’s Manufacturing AI Transformation Program. They will bring together operational leaders, site teams, Digital experts, and business stakeholders to deliver transformational change at scale.

You will be accountable for translating strategy into action and ensuring that AI investments yield measurable improvements in safety, quality, supply reliability, productivity, cost efficiency, and colleague effectiveness.

The successful candidate will move fluidly between shaping the AI roadmap with senior stakeholders and rolling up their sleeves with site teams to accelerate deployment, replication, and drive AI fluency and adoption. Success in this role is measured not by activity, but by realized, sustained value.

What You Will Achieve

Strategy & Roadmap Ownership

• Translate the PGS AI Native vision into an actionable, sequenced delivery roadmap for GH&B MFG.

• Own end-to-end execution of the AI roadmap, prioritizing which processes are redesigned and in what order, based on value, feasibility, and network readiness.

• Build alignment across stakeholders and establish a clear path from innovation to scaled execution.

• Partner with the leadership to continuously refine scope, sequencing, and investment priorities as the AI and Digital programs mature (eg. Integrated Tech Roadmap, Digital Prioritization).

• Tracks value delivery against the roadmap including escalations and Critical Need To Know communications to leadership.

Program Execution & Delivery

• Partner closely with Site AI Champions/Transformation Leads and business leaders to drive engagement, adoption, and capability building.
