About the position

We're looking for a stellar Administrative Assistant — someone who brings sharp organizational instincts, genuine curiosity, and the kind of energy that raises the bar for everyone around them. The Pfizer Brand & Agency Partnerships team operates at the intersection of brand advertising, digital platforms, creative standards, and content innovation, and we need a partner who can match that pace and complexity with excellence.
