This role will ensure integration within the AbbVie Pipeline Commercialization Model, including co-leadership of the Value and Access Teams (VATs) with International Market Access (IMAP) colleagues, and will lead the creation of US EIVPs (Early Integrated Value Propositions) and Integrated Access Strategies (IAS). The Director will also participate in Asset Strategy Team discussions and provide leadership within other Pipeline Commercialization Model teams as needed (IEST). The ideal candidate will bring a proven track record of supporting a positive team culture, leading by example, strong cross-functional stakeholder alignment, and an understanding of the AbbVie Pipeline Commercialization Model.
