    As a member of the Corporate and Government Customers Medical Affairs team, I work with various health insurance payers to gain insights that are relevant to Pfizer, perform data analyses, conduct clinical presentations, provide medical support, and develop an in-depth understanding of the market and account dynamics. An additional responsibility is to align with headquarters- and field-based colleagues to ensure medical, commercial, and research needs of external customers and Pfizer are both met.
