Overview
My role is very varied as we do a lot of project work and I don't have many reoccurring daily task that need be completed. I have a lot of meetings both in person and online (due to Pfizer's hybrid/remote working), with both internal Pfizer colleague's and external vendors and healthcare professionals. I attend conferences with the team to garner insights around the therapy area and then complete projects.
Skills
project management adaptability communication presentation skills ABPI code knowledge time management leadership Scientific writing strategic thinking Using AI to streamline processes networking collaboration interpersonal skills patient centricity content creation
Responsibilities
I was lead on multiple projects as well being lead author on published abstracts. Each project I had support or was supporting but was given the freedom and responsibility to lead on projects internally but also ones that involved external vendors
Support & Guidance
My team was very supportive. I had 1-1 meetings with each member every week, and was allocated a 'buddy' when i joined who was my main port of call for any questions alongside my manager. We were given training on a specific software/processes we were involved in and there are regular drop in sessions with experts on these software/processes in case you need any further support.
Culture
Pfizer has a supportive and friendly culture where you are encouraged to reach to out to anyone across the company. Everyone is incredibly generous with their time and are always happy to put in a call to chat or catch up over a coffee.
Your Impressions
I have massively enjoyed my time at Pfizer and would recommend doing a placement here to most people. There are a ton of opportunities outside of your role and everyone is so friendly and supportive.
Yes
try to have a range of experience and not just from an educational setting. Also demonstrate why you want that specific role. A more tailored application will always land better than a generic one. Also follow the instructions don't submit a CV if it doesn't ask you to. And be yourself, if you get to interview it is mainly to see what the team fit would be, so be yourself.
