Role Summary
The VP, Obesity U.S. Market Access reports directly to the VP, U.S. Market Access - Primary Care. This is a new VP-level role established to build dedicated market access capabilities for Pfizer's Obesity portfolio. Obesity represents a significant growth priority for Pfizer, and the category’s access, patient, and payer dynamics differ materially from Pfizer’s existing brand-support models. This role is being established to build those capabilities directly, rather than extend an existing coverage model to a new category.
This role directly owns access marketing strategy and execution, and owns contracting and pricing strategy for obesity assets, which is executed in coordination with core USMA functions, including strategy, contracting, account management, and market access operations.

The VP interfaces directly with the Primary Care BU, partnering closely with the Obesity Franchise Lead on business goals and balancing access investment against gross-to-net (GTN) to maximize net trade sales.
The VP is also the single point of contact for Obesity across market access and patient services, reflecting the distinct, higher-touch engagement model Obesity requires as a new frontier for the portfolio.

- Integrated Access & Patient Services Leadership Serve as the single point of accountability for the Obesity Franchise, bringing together market access and patient services strategies into one coordinated approach that advances patient, customer, and business outcomes.
