What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manager- Supply Chain Operations Analyst position at Pfizer?
Use Your Power for Purpose
The Manager, Supply Chain Operations Analyst is a member of the North America Global Supply Chain (GSC) team and serves as a true AI owner for logistics - leading the reporting, advanced analytics, and applied-AI agenda across the North America logistics network. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role that owns everything except people management, partnering directly with operations leaders to translate business needs into scalable data, analytics, and AI-driven solutions that improve decision-making and operational performance.
As GSC evolves toward predictive, prescriptive, and agentic AI capabilities, this role keeps the function ahead of the industry by advancing the AI/data foundation, enabling scenario-based and autonomous decision support, and embedding intelligent insights into day-to-day operations across the end-to-end logistics value chain - warehousing and distribution, transportation and freight, demand and inventory planning, and third-party logistics (3PL) management.
This role is US-based and partners closely with our Canada teams.
Our logistics and supply teams ensure that customers and patients receive the medicines they need precisely when they need them. In this role, you will be the person who turns data and AI into faster, smarter decisions across the network - spotting risk before it happens, freeing teams from manual reporting, and helping leaders act with confidence. By imagining new possibilities and taking decisive action, you will help accelerate the delivery of medicines to the world while helping our function lead, not follow, in the AI era.
