Job Description

Clinical Trials are required before a new compound can be available for use by patients. A clinical study in human volunteers is conducted to answer specific health questions: Is it safe? Does it work? Is it better than what is currently offered to patients? At AbbVie, the Clinical Operations group conducts/manages clinical trials and provides therapeutically aligned, scientific strategy and operations management for the planning, execution and reporting of clinical development programs to enable successful global registration and commercialization of drug development projects.

As a member of AbbVie’s Clinical Trial Operations Development Program (CTODP), you will participate in two 12-month rotational assignments over the course of two years. The rotations offer global exposure to Clinical Operations leadership and are crafted to help members hone exceptional functional and leadership traits. Members will develop expertise, skills, and relationships essential for accelerated career progression within Clinical Operations.

Robust and meaningful rotational assignments will be hosted in the following three areas:

• Clinical Data Strategy & Operations: The Clinical Data Strategy Operations (CDSO) function is responsible for overseeing and executing against the strategy around clinical data collection, management, integration, and utilization within AbbVie clinical trials. This includes the operations and technology to enable data acquisition, quality assurance, governance, compliance, data architecture, and effective data analysis to support decision-making. The organization works to ensure clinical data is robust, accurate, and usable for regulatory submissions, evidence generation, and advancing clinical development objectives. There is cross-functional collaboration with partners, including but not limited to clinical development, quality assurance, technology, data management, and regulatory affairs.

• Study Management Associate Organization: The Study Management Associate Organization (SMAO) is responsible for supporting the Study Project Manager with the planning, execution, and oversight of clinical studies or trials. SMAO covers activities such as protocol and informed consent development, study startup, operational logistics, vendor management, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards throughout the study lifecycle. The group works closely with cross functional teams, including but not limited to data management, regulatory affairs, Clinical Site Management (CSM) and external partners to ensure studies are conducted efficiently, within timelines, and according to quality expectations.

• Clinical Acceleration and Performance: The Clinical Acceleration and Performance (CAP) function focuses on improving the efficiency, quality, and speed of clinical trials and research operations. CAP is where AbbVie reimagines how clinical trials are run. Their mission is bold but clear: deliver medicines to patients faster by making trials smarter, simpler, and more effective. The team tackles the toughest challenges in R&D—patient recruitment, site engagement, trial efficiency—by combining data science, innovative technology, and deep clinical expertise. The group is comprised of out-of-the-box thinkers, problem-solvers, and change-drivers who thrive on collaboration and creativity.
