Job Description

Can be located anywhere in the US, ideally near a larger airport

AbbVie’s U.S. Market Access organization partners with U.S. payers to ensure affordable patient access to all of AbbVie’s pharmaceutical products at the state, regional, and national levels. Despite the U.S. health care landscape being complex, challenging, and always changing, and with the ongoing evolution of AbbVie’s pharmaceutical portfolio, the U.S. Market Access organization is consistently recognized by external stakeholders as a top partner of choice.

Within Market Access, the Corporate Account team has responsibility for management of AbbVie’s relationship with large national payers. The team is divided into silos focused on the three largest PBM owned GPOs (Cigna-ESI, CVS - Zinc, United Health Group - Emisar). These customers provide and manage reimbursement for over 80% of AbbVie’s US sales. Corporate Account teams are composed of experienced and accomplished Corporate Account Directors that are responsible for developing and implementing strategies to gain and maintain profitable access for AbbVie’s diverse portfolio while strengthening the strategic relationship with our largest payer customers.

Corporate Account Directors are expected to lead a diverse, cross-functional team to develop and implement successful strategies to secure targeted access consistent with brand objectives. Corporate Account Directors act as the voice of the customer for internal stakeholders and must effectively communicate thoughtful, structured rationale to align key stakeholders, including members of the Executive Leadership team. In this role, Corporate Account Directors are required to synthesize information into a cohesive value proposition specific to their customers’ needs. Combining advanced knowledge of US payer market and policy decisions with a strong clinical and financial rationale, Corporate Account Directors are front line negotiators representing the AbbVie portfolio.

This dynamic and critical role requires an established leader with proven capabilities in Market Access and other areas of pharmaceuticals and health care. Importantly, CADs must embody U.S. Market Access’ ambitious cultural vision and exemplify the broader AbbVie Ways We Work.

• Strengthen the strategic relationship between AbbVie and critical payer customers.

• Support and enhance the strength of the Corporate Account team. The CAD works as part of a team and is responsible for continually elevating their own knowledge and that of those around them. They must be comfortable professionally challenging the status quo to elevate the team’s knowledge and advance strategic thinking.

• Integrates cross-functional team members and competencies into the payer team effectively, building a focused mindset, effective and seamless work product across the group. This may include up to 10-15 additional colleagues supporting efforts with the payers, and their development individually and collectively is a priority.

• Develops and provides insights, analyses and options for internal stakeholders, including fellow Market Access colleagues, Legal, Finance, Compliance, Medical and Supply Chain. Works closely with those groups to ensure that the resources of AbbVie are coordinated and focused at timely and critical points with the customer. Responsible for integrating rapid changes in the customer landscape and changes in payer approaches directly into AbbVie’s efforts.

• Coordinates closely and appropriately with other members of the Corporate Account team to ensure consistency of approach and apply learnings broadly; provides support to the Regional Account teams, especially for affiliated regional plans. Supports sales efforts across business units, interacting directly with sales teams as necessary.

• Establishes and maintains close ties with medical personnel, ensuring compliant teamwork and maximizing the effect of AbbVie’s overall approach to payers.

• Must manage timely and accurate communication flow throughout the organization.

• Must be highly resourceful and show personal accountability for achieving goals.

• Supports other aspects of Market Access and AbbVie operations as necessary.
