ROLE SUMMARY
Pfizer’s belief is that all people deserve to live healthy lives. This drives our desire to provide access to medicines that are safe, effective, and affordable. We advance breakthroughs that change patients’ lives and increasingly there is a digital component to the interactions we have with patients and their health care professionals.
Pfizer’s Digital Solutions and Enablement (DSE) team develop, launch and support all externally facing digital (web, mobile, omni-channel, & device) products, platforms, services, and experiences, servicing all external customer types at Pfizer.
Opportunities exist in DSE across many disciplines including web, cloud, open source, mobile hybrid, mobile native, artificial intelligence and the electronic medical record (EMR) space.
We aim to ensure that every health system stakeholder is given easy access to the information and tools they need to manage the best possible outcome for patients. We empower our stakeholders with experiences that support the detection, diagnosis, access and adherence of patients in their health journeys.
We seek qualified individuals to join us in our mission to advance breakthroughs that change patients’ lives by ensuring they have access to quality healthcare services and Pfizer’s medicines and vaccines.

- reporting defects and following up to ensure they are addressed
- documenting test evidence for validated systems
- maintaining the automation framework
- evaluating test cases for inclusion in regression test suites
- contributing to development of tool sets to enhance QA and Testing Strategy.
You will manage and apply all appropriate test metrics for the product/solution to track progress towards our quality targets.
You will be an integral part of the delivery teams and squads, with a primary focus on software testing and quality control.
You will be a self-motivated, detail-orientated team player who enjoys both technical and creative challenges within a fast-paced agile environment.
ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES
