Job description

The Operations Director we want doesn't just use Attention Management; they question it, improve it, and teach it, all from our Lawton, OK hub. You supply 12 years and Innovation; AbbVie supplies $124,000 - $176,000, a Lawton home, and growth that does not flatten out.

Key Responsibilities

• Map the handoffs between OK teams so nothing falls in the cracks
• Earn the trust to make self-directed judgment calls without a committee
• Turn ambiguous Continuous Learning requests into shipped, measurable outcomes
• Leave every general system a little better than you found it
• Trim Persuasion processes that have quietly outlived their purpose
• Own the boring middle of a project, not just the kickoff
• Hold Lawton vendors to the standard we promised our users

What You'll Bring

• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Comfort owning general decisions in an OK market
• Innovation fundamentals plus the Problem Solving polish clients notice
• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
