Job description

In late January, we announcedthat Bridgefield Capital signed an agreement to acquire Philips’ Emergency Care business which includes leading brands and products like HeartStart AEDs, Intrepid and DFM100 monitor defibrillators, Tempus monitor and Tempus ALS systems, and Corsium and ECI informatics solutions. We expect the transaction to close at the end of 2025.

With Bridgefield’s support and building on our 40+ year legacy of growth and innovation in emergency medical technology, the Emergency Care business will continue passionately pursuing our mission of saving lives, lowering the cost of healthcare, and advancing the science of resuscitation while serving the public access AED, EMS, military, and hospital market segments.

In this role and as part of an agile company that has the dedicated resources needed to achieve its strategic goals, you’ll have every opportunity to become a part of the “NewCo” we are forming and grow both personally and professionally and potentially make an even bigger impact on the acute care space – as well as on the consumers, patients and healthcare workers who depend on these innovative life-saving solutions.

Your role:

As a Finance Business Partner, you will provide strategic financial insights to senior leadership, influencing key business decisions and long-term planning.

You’ll lead the design of complex financial models to evaluate investment opportunities, new products, and business strategies.

You'll work closely with cross-functional teams and executives, contributing to strategic initiatives and helping shape organizational policies.

This role includes mentoring junior finance team members, while ensuring financial practices align with internal controls and compliance standards.

You'll also drive improvements in financial processes, tools, and systems to increase accuracy, efficiency, and strategic alignment.

Your recruiter will explain the full compensation package with you which includes competitive basic pay, performance bonus, attractive pension scheme and private medical insurance.

You're right for the role if:

You’ve acquired extensive experience in finance, including business partnering, corporate finance, or financial planning and analysis..

Your skills include financial modelling, forecasting, investment evaluation, risk management, and process improvement; stakeholder partnership and strategy implementation experience are a plus.

You have a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field.

You’re an effective communicator with strong business acumen, skilled at partnering with R&D & Product Development leadership on business cases/propositions and ROI.

You thrive in a fast-paced, strategic environment and are comfortable working under limited supervision while driving change and supporting high-level decision-making.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For this office-based role, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

If you’re interested in this role and have many, but not all, of the experiences needed, we encourage you to apply. You may still be the right candidate for this or other opportunities at Philips. Learn more about our commitment to diversity and inclusion here .
