Job Description

The APEX (Analytics and Performance Excellence) team supporting AbbVie’s US Commercial organization is 250+ members strong and growing every day.

We serve as strategic in-house advisor and pragmatic compass to Marketing, Sales, and Leadership – ensuring that all decisions are grounded in rigorous intelligence and earned intuition.

We work tirelessly to build new capabilities and skill sets, encouraging our team members to pull up a chair, be themselves, be creative, speak their minds, and do good work. Patients depend on us, and we take that very seriously – without taking ourselves too seriously. We are smart, fun, quirky, and innovative – and we’d love for you to join us.
