Role Summary
The Global Delivery Team Lead is accountable for the day-to-day performance, quality, and capacity management of the Global Delivery team - a standardized, script- and SOP-based service delivery function based in the APAC Center (India). The role ensures Delivery work is executed accurately, at scale, and within agreed SLAs, using predefined rules, reference libraries, and Q&A matrices rather than market-specific judgment. The Team Lead is also responsible for driving continuous process standardization and automation, and for building a resilient, cross-trained team supporting Delivery services globally.
Core Responsibilities

Lead day-to-day delivery for the Global Delivery team (~8 Operations Specialists, India-based), ensuring all Delivery services are executed accurately, on time, and in line with agreed SLAs/OLAs.

Act as the primary interface with Pfizer Service/Process Owners to understand task requirements and translate them into SOPs, reference libraries, and Q&A matrices - keeping work resolvable within Delivery scope without market-specific judgment.

Own consolidated capacity planning and demand management for the team; monitor volume trends, forecast staffing needs, and flag capacity or concentration risk early.

Drive continuous process improvement, standardization, and automation of Delivery workflows; identify candidates for migration to Tier-AI (full automation) as volume and process stability allow.

Maintain SOP/audit documentation, process compliance, and asset management across the team's services.

Develop and maintain SLA/OLA adherence reporting and quality metrics for the team.

Provide day-to-day leadership, coaching, and performance management for the Operations Specialist team; build cross-training plans to reduce key-person and knowledge-concentration risk.

Serve as the escalation point for inputs or issues that fall outside Delivery scope (e.g., requiring market judgment, stakeholder negotiation, or non-standard interpretation); triage and route to the appropriate Tier-1/Tier-2 owner.

Support onboarding and structured knowledge transfer for new colleagues joining the team.

Partner with the APAC Center Lead on workforce planning and integration with the broader APAC Center operating model.

Qualifications & Experience

8-12 years of relevant experience in Service delivery, Shared services, or Global business services operations.

Experience managing or leading teams of approximately 8 colleagues, ideally in a virtual/remote delivery environment.

Strong capacity planning, SLA/OLA management, and reporting skills.

Track record of driving process standardization, optimization, and automation initiatives.

Strong SOP development, audit, and process-compliance discipline.

Comfortable operating against instruction documents, reference libraries, and Q&A matrices rather than ambiguous, judgment-heavy inputs.

Good data literacy - able to translate volume/SLA dashboards into staffing and process decisions.

Experience managing outsourced or third-party delivery relationships is a plus.

Good to have: pharmaceutical/commercial operations industry knowledge; familiarity with multichannel marketing systems (MCM/iXM) where relevant to current scope.

Education: Bachelor's degree required.

Organizational Relationships
Key internal interactions: APAC Center Lead; GOSC Team Leads/Delivery Leads in the LATAM and EU Centers; Pfizer Service/Process Owners; PX (India).
Key external interactions: None - Delivery is designed for zero external stakeholder interaction.
