ROLE SUMMARY
The PDM Diligence, Licensing, and Integrations Director will manage all due diligence, licensing and integration activities on behalf of the PDM organization within Medicine Design. In this highly visible and accountable role, the Director will liaise among leaders in the Business Development organization and Medicinal Sciences Licensing Management Team and leaders and subject matter experts in the PDM organization to generate high quality evaluations of in-licensing and co-development opportunities. The director will be accountable for the scientific and technical aspects of due diligence and integrations, and work closely with the Medicine Design Licensing and Acquisition lead on operational aspects.

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.
