Clinical Trials Operations Development Program (CTODP) Overview

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, Clinical Operations 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.

Program Description

As a member of AbbVie’s Clinical Trial Operations Development Program (CTODP), you will participate in three 12-month rotational assignments over the course of three years. The roles 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 the Development organization at AbbVie. Participation in a one-year clinical trial simulation will also help further refine knowledge and understanding of the Clinical Operations model.

Diverse and meaningful rotational assignments will be based in each of the following areas:

Data and Statistical Sciences (DSS) - DSS is accountable for delivery of clinical development’s sole products - clinical data of the highest quality and fit-for-purpose analytics and analyses to support the progress of AbbVie’s development pipeline. Our accountability spans the entire AbbVie portfolio, and our purview includes the entire clinical data lifecycle including development of data collection systems and devices, development of sophisticated clinical and operational analytics, management of clinical data integrity, development of code to support analyses and reporting, and analyses of trial results for inclusion in regulatory submission dossiers.

Clinical Study Leadership (CSL) - Clinical Study Leadership delivers quality clinical data to advance innovative therapies in service to our patients through risk-based, integrated planning and execution. CSL works cross-functionally to execute Phase 1-4 clinical research studies within core Therapeutic Areas, including Oncology, Immunology, Neuroscience, General Medicine, Aesthetics and Eye Care.

Clinical Site Management (CSM) - Clinical Site Management is an in-house, globally-disbursed organization responsible for the management and monitoring of clinical trials. This in-house model allows AbbVie to deliver scientifically sound, quality, and compliant clinical programs in the shortest possible time for the lowest possible cost in support of AbbVie objectives.

Please note that while at least two of the three rotational assignments will be located at AbbVie’s corporate headquarters in north suburban Chicago, domestic travel and/or relocation may be required for one program rotation.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences (Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry), or related field; Statistics, Data Sciences, Computer Science, or related field; Engineering (Bioengineering, Biomedical, Chemical); Pharmaceutical Sciences, Neuroscience, or related field
• Expected graduation date between August 2023 - June 2024
• Must be willing to relocate and/or travel within the U.S. for one program rotation

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proven track record of teamwork, adaptability, innovation, and integrity
• Excellent communication, leadership, project management skills, problem solving, analytical skills, and business mindset
• Microsoft Excel or other database experience is a plus

Note that this is not a lab position. These roles supporting our clinical research are operational in nature. This is not a track or feeder opportunity for medical students (MD or PhD/Postdoctoral routes).
