Job Description
AbbVie Oncology Capabilities and Operations’ mission is to define and drive excellence in AbbVie US Oncology through innovative capabilities, operational expertise, and fostering critical partnerships to remove barriers that impact the acceleration of our business, unlocking what’s next in Oncology through the power of our collective experience. The Project Manager serves as a strategic partner to Oncology Commercial and Medical leaders, translating strategic priorities into actionable programs that strengthen organizational capabilities, enable field and Integrated Brand Team (IBT) effectiveness, and accelerate business impact across the Oncology Business Unit. Success in this role requires the ability to navigate ambiguity, influence without authority, and drive organizational transformation through strong cross-functional leadership. The Project Manager independently assesses opportunities, develops solutions, aligns stakeholders, and leads execution of initiatives that improve decision-making, collaboration, and operational effectiveness across Oncology. Beyond individual projects, this role contributes to the development of scalable processes, tools, and best practices that elevate the capabilities of the broader Capabilities & Operations team and enable sustained organizational success. DRIVE STRATEGIC CAPABILITIES, ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION, AND BUSINESS IMPACT – Apply project management, strategic thinking, and change leadership capabilities to advance Oncology Business Unit priorities, strengthen organizational effectiveness, and enable sustainable business growth. Translate ambiguity into action by independently assessing complex business challenges and opportunities, establishing direction where pathways are not clearly defined, synthesizing diverse stakeholder perspectives, and developing actionable strategies, frameworks, and implementation plans that drive business outcomes. Lead the design, planning, and implementation of strategic capabilities and organizational transformation initiatives that enhance decision-making, field team effectiveness, cross-functional collaboration, and operational efficiency across the Oncology portfolio. Develop and socialize initial concepts, recommendations, and prototypes to accelerate leadership discussions, shape strategic direction, and facilitate informed decision-making. Influence and align cross-functional stakeholders across Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Legal, Compliance, and other partner functions to advance shared priorities, navigate competing interests, and drive Oncology-wide decisions that optimize outcomes for the Oncology Business Unit over individual functional or brand priorities. Champion the adoption of new strategies, capabilities, and ways of working, building buy-in and advocacy among Oncology and enterprise leaders while effectively navigating organizational change. Leverage organizational awareness, active listening, and strong stakeholder networks to identify emerging business needs, capability gaps, and opportunities for improvement, proactively developing recommendations and mobilizing stakeholders to drive action. Promote a test-and-learn mindset, encouraging experimentation, rapid iteration, and incorporation of feedback to accelerate capability development and continuous improvement.
