Director,AppliedAI

**ROLE SUMMARY** As Director, Applied AI, you lead the realization of AI strategy into tangible, production-grade solutions, platforms, and products. You operate at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and product thinking — translating strategy, patterns, and standards into working systems deployed in real enterprise environments. You own the end-to-end technical integrity of solutions — from concept through implementation — ensuring they are robust, scalable, and aligned with enterprise architecture and platform capabilities. You connect that build to business outcomes: you understand the commercial problem your work serves, not only the code. And you lead the people who build with you — full-time engineers, contractors, and vendor resources whose day-to-day execution you direct and whose work you review to Pfizer's quality and security bar. **Why This Role Matters** Pfizer's purpose — breakthroughs that change patients' lives — has always depended on the company's willingness to transform how it works, not only what it discovers. Being the most AI-forward company, and reinventing how we work from end to end, is the next chapter in that story. That depends on turning strategy into systems that actually work. This role ensures strategy and architecture become real, working solutions — deployable, integrated, and sustainable in production — and that the team and partners around you deliver to the same standard. **Candidate Profile** You are a hands-on technical leader with strong execution capability and architectural judgment. You operate across disciplines — architecture, engineering, and product — and drive solutions from ambiguous beginnings to production reality. You are known for enforcing technical truth: ensuring what is built is correct, complete, scalable, and aligned with enterprise systems. You can frame a technical decision in terms of the business outcome it serves, and you can lead a mixed team of engineers, contractors, and vendors to ship
