Job Information
Pfizer Director, Access, Affordability Strategy & Execution in New York City, New York
Why Patients Need You
Pfizer's U.S. migraine portfolio consists of two, complimentary, treatments - NURTEC ODT and Zavzpret. NURTEC ODT is the first and only FDA approved oral CGRP receptor antagonist that treats both acute and preventive migraine. NURTEC ODT has the opportunity to change the paradigm in migraine treatment and potentially establish a new standard of care. Zavzpret is the first and only FDA approved, CGRP receptor antagonist nasal spray, that is designed to provide patients fast relief from a migraine attack with just one spray.
Over 40 million patients in the U.S. currently suffer from migraine but less than 25% seek care. About 1.2 million migraine patients visit the ER per year and almost 80% of them never sought care from a community HCP before going to the ED. Migraine creates a significant economic burden to the U.S. healthcare system, costing over $78B annually.
Pfizer has made significant investments in excess of $500M in the migraine portfolio. Nurtec ODT has been identified as a priority blockbuster product that will need to deliver 50% growth in the coming year within a very competitive market.

Sunshine Act
Pfizer reports payments and other transfers of value to health care providers as required by federal and state transparency laws and implementing regulations. These laws and regulations require Pfizer to provide government agencies with information such as a health care provider's name, address and the type of payments or other value received, generally for public disclosure. Subject to further legal review and statutory or regulatory clarification, which Pfizer intends to pursue, reimbursement of recruiting expenses for licensed physicians may constitute a reportable transfer of value under the federal transparency law commonly known as the Sunshine Act. Therefore, if you are a licensed physician who incurs recruiting expenses as a result of interviewing with Pfizer that we pay or reimburse, your name, address and the amount of payments made currently will be reported to the government. If you have questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact your Talent Acquisition representative.
