Job Description
The Director, Immunology Field Reimbursement Managers (FRM) will lead the national strategy and execution of the Immunology Rheumatology FRM team. This role provides direct leadership to 3 or more Associate Directors and indirect leadership to as many as 50 Field Reimbursement Managers across the country.
This is a leadership position operating at the intersection of field execution, market access strategy, and commercial performance. The Director owns the performance framework that translates FRM activity into measurable business value, influences senior stakeholder decisions with insight and data.
This is not a role for a manager who coaches upward. The right candidate brings enterprise thinking, has built or significantly scaled high-performing organizations, and can hold a seat at the table with Market Access, Commercial, and Patient Services leadership.
Key Responsibilities:
- Set the vision and execution priorities for the Rheumatology FRM team, aligned to brand strategy and patient access goals, while owning the measurement framework that demonstrates impact on revenue, access velocity, pull-through, and patient starts.
- Ensure FRM operating procedures and field activities comply with applicable regulations, AbbVie policies, and MLR-approved ways of working.
- Develop and execute a national strategy for patient services, access resources, and programs.
- Identify training needs and support in-field, regional, and national meeting execution.
- Build the access infrastructure, training, and deployment models needed to support new indication launches, new modalities, and geographic expansion.
- Monitor team performance, activity, and capacity through analytics, and close gaps in measurement by shifting the organization from activity metrics to impact metrics.
- Drive a high-performance culture grounded in accountability, compliance, and customer-centricity.
- Identify and develop succession candidates at the AD and FRM levels, building talent from within.
- Partner with Market Access, Trade, Legal, Compliance, Patient Support Services, and IT to navigate healthcare landscape changes, maintain program integrity, and ensure accurate vendor data exchange.
- Ensure both teams consistent, compliant, and differentiated reimbursement support — covering coding, coverage, billing, patient affordability, and product acquisition.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA, MPH, PharmD, or equivalent) strongly preferred.
- 8–12+ years of progressive experience in field leadership, access and reimbursement market access, and healthcare strategy.
- Minimum 5 years leading field-based teams, with demonstrated experience managing managers (not just individual contributors).
- Proven track record of building or scaling an infield team — hiring, structuring, and developing teams through periods of rapid growth.
- Proven ability to navigate regulatory requirements and mitigate compliance risks.
- Deep understanding of Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D reimbursement, specialty drug acquisition, and distribution.
- Excellent communication (oral, written, and presentation) and interpersonal skills.
- Demonstrated leadership impact and ability to work effectively across functions.
- Valid driver’s license: Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening test and meet safe driving requirements.
- Driving a personal auto or company car or truck, or a powered piece of material handling equipment.
Additional Information
Applicable only to applicants applying to a position in any location with pay disclosure requirements under state or local law:
- The compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation that the Company believes in good faith it will pay for this role at the time of this posting based on the job grade for this position.

This range may be modified in the future.
- We offer a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick), medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees.
- This job is eligible to participate in our long-term incentive programs.
Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, vested, and determinable. The amount and availability of any bonus, commission, incentive, benefits, or any other form of compensation and benefits that are allocable to a particular employee remains in the Company's sole and absolute discretion unless and until paid and may be modified at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, consistent with applicable law.

Search Biotech & Pharma Jobs in ColoradoBiotech & Pharma E-3 Sponsorship Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
Which biotech and pharma companies in Colorado sponsor E-3 visas?
Colorado-based companies with documented E-3 and specialty occupation sponsorship activity include UCB's U.S. operations in the Denver metro, Eurofins Scientific, and contract research organizations operating near the Fitzsimons Innovation Campus in Aurora. Larger pharmaceutical distributors and clinical-stage biotechs in the Boulder-Denver corridor have also filed Labor Condition Applications for specialty roles. Sponsorship activity varies by hiring cycle, so checking current LCA filings through the OFLC is the most reliable way to verify which employers are actively sponsoring.
Which cities in Colorado have the most biotech and pharma E-3 sponsorship jobs?
The Denver-Aurora metro area concentrates the most biotech and pharma employers, anchored by the Fitzsimons Innovation Campus, one of the largest life sciences campuses in the country. Boulder attracts research-focused biotechs and CROs given its proximity to the University of Colorado. Fort Collins has a smaller but active cluster tied to Colorado State University's research output. Most E-3 sponsorship opportunities are concentrated within these three metro areas rather than in rural parts of the state.
What types of biotech and pharma roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship in Colorado?
Roles that typically meet the E-3 specialty occupation standard in biotech and pharma require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Common qualifying positions include clinical research associates, regulatory affairs specialists, bioinformatics analysts, process development scientists, pharmacovigilance specialists, and quality assurance managers. Positions where a degree in a specific scientific discipline, such as biochemistry, molecular biology, or pharmaceutical sciences, is a genuine job requirement are the clearest fit. General lab technician roles that accept any science degree, or no degree at all, are less likely to qualify.
How do I find biotech and pharma E-3 sponsorship jobs in Colorado?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search, it filters biotech and pharma job listings in Colorado by E-3 visa sponsorship, so you're not sifting through roles where sponsorship isn't available. Because E-3 eligibility depends on both the role and the employer's willingness to file an LCA, searching a platform that surfaces verified sponsorship history saves significant time. Focus on employers with prior LCA filings in Colorado for specialty occupation roles aligned with your scientific background.
Are there any Colorado-specific considerations for E-3 sponsorship in biotech and pharma?
Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act requires employers to disclose pay ranges in job postings, which gives E-3 applicants useful data when assessing whether an offered wage meets the DOL prevailing wage requirement before applying. The OFLC Wage Search lets you look up the prevailing wage for a specific occupation and location in Colorado. Fitzsimons-based employers sometimes coordinate hiring through the campus ecosystem, so roles may be posted through affiliated research institutes rather than directly. The state's altitude and research university ties also mean many smaller biotechs operate as spin-outs, which can affect sponsor experience with immigration filings.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 biotech & pharma jobs in Colorado?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
