Job Description *This is a hybrid role, and you must be located near Lake County, IL or Florham Park, NJ* Trade Marketing at AbbVie has evolved significantly from an operational and tactic-focused responsibility for select products to one requiring development of complex pharmacy and distribution strategies across our entire portfolio of products in both specialty and retail channels.
