Careers That Change Lives
The Medtronic Diabetes Business is one of the most exciting, dynamic and challenging spaces in the medical device industry. More than 463 million patients worldwide suffer from diabetes and this is expected to reach close to 600 million in 10 years. The diabetes device industry is unique in that technologies available to monitor and manage diabetes are starting to converge with consumer electronics technology. As such, the decision dynamics are evolving: patients have a stronger voice in therapy choice, care is transitioning away from specialists, and the role of artificial intelligence is elevating care. Medtronic Diabetes is transforming its business to adapt to this change and create meaningful differentiation to drive customer preference and revenue growth.

The Transformation Program Director will lead transformation initiatives across Medtronic Diabetes. This highly visible role will develop strategic goals, identify and prioritize major opportunities for improved performance and optimization, and oversee the development of roadmaps for implementation for the Diabetes business. This leader will functionally report to VP HR and operationally report to CFO.

The role is highly dynamic, requiring strong management and leadership skills, and the ability to oversee and execute on multiple areas of work simultaneously. Develop strategic relationships with a wide array of stakeholders and leverage existing relationships within and across Medtronic. Strong collaboration and clear communication, including with senior executive leaders, are key. Success will depend on effectively influencing and negotiating across businesses and regions to drive alignment on objectives and clear paths to execution.

The problems this role will tackle are complex and undefined, requiring consideration of a wide range of commercial, financial, and strategic inputs and variables that impact multiple areas of the organization. The role will provide direction in uncharted territory, serving as a thought partner of the Diabetes Senior Staff. Provide significant input to the foundational groundwork for the transformation effort, and then ensure progress, momentum, and timely course-correction if needed. The Program Director will also provide coaching and motivational support to the team to build a positive, enriching, high-performance culture where team members are able to thrive and grow.
