Corporate Account Leader (Remote) at AbbVie — Chicago, IL

This is a remote position with up to 50% domestic travel required. Candidates may reside anywhere in the United States.

Headquartered in the Chicagoland Area, AbbVie is a global research-based biopharmaceutical company formed in 2013. The Company's mission is to create an innovation-driven, patient-focused specialty biopharmaceutical company capable of achieving sustainable top-tier performance through outstanding execution and a consistent stream of innovative new medicines. With market leadership in Immunology, Oncology, Migraine, Aesthetics, and Eye Care, AbbVie employs approximately 55,000 colleagues worldwide and markets medicines in more than 175 countries.

AbbVie’s U.S. Market Access organization partners with payers at the state, regional, and national levels to support affordable patient access across AbbVie’s portfolio. In a complex and evolving health care environment, the organization is consistently recognized by external stakeholders as a top partner of choice.

Within Market Access, the Corporate Account Team manages AbbVie’s relationships with large U.S. national payers. Organized around the three large PBM-owned GPOs (Ascent-Cigna, Zinc-CVS, Emisar-UnitedHealth Group), the team is led by Corporate Account Leaders (CALs) who guide experienced Account Executives in developing strategies to secure and maintain profitable access for AbbVie’s portfolio while strengthening relationships with AbbVie’s largest payer customers, who manage reimbursement for more than 80% of U.S. sales.

CALs set the strategic direction for their groups, planning 12–24 months ahead and providing insights and options to internal stakeholders to support payer success. They also lead internal processes that strengthen U.S. payer relationships while developing team members’ capabilities, customer relationships, and connectivity across U.S. Market Access.

This critical role requires an established leader with deep Market Access, pharmaceutical, and health care experience who embodies U.S. Market Access’ Ambitious Cultural Vision and AbbVie Ways We Work.
