Primary Responsibilities

Digital Strategy & Roadmap Leadership

• Aggregate digital initiatives across Medtronic and build a common enterprise view without directing Operating Units on how to run their businesses.
• Develop, articulate, track, and continually adapt the enterprise digital vision, strategy, and roadmap through commercialization.
• Coordinate across Operating Units to understand existing roadmaps, identify common priorities, and improve communication across portfolios.
• Keep the roadmap current by monitoring competitive dynamics, market direction, and changes in the digital health landscape.

Execution & Cross-Enterprise Alignment

• Partner across product development and go-to-market planning to help Operating Units connect digital initiatives to the broader enterprise strategy.
• Drive internal Core Labs initiatives and ensure they remain aligned with Operating Unit and enterprise priorities.
• Work directly with distributed teams and leaders across Medtronic; this is not a desk-based strategy or presentation-only role.
• Build trust and followership across a complex matrix through strong relationships, humility, constructive challenge, and clear communication.

Customer & Strategic Partner Engagement

• Engage physicians, hospital administrators, and other external customers to understand hospital economics, contracting considerations, and evolving expectations for digital technology.
• Help establish focus groups and advisory boards so the digital strategy remains grounded in customer needs.
• Serve as a strategic counterpart to external partners such as Amazon, NVIDIA, Siemens, and Philips, connecting external perspectives and partnerships back into Medtronic.

Initial Priorities

• In the first six months, build common digital roadmaps and a clear enterprise articulation of Medtronic’s digital activity and direction.
• Create communication that can be used for internal leadership, investor, and other external audiences.
• Establish an operating rhythm for maintaining the roadmap and driving teams forward against the strategy.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree and 15 years of relevant experience OR master’s degree and 13 years of relevant experience.
• 10 years of progressive leadership experience, including leadership of cross-functional teams and strategic initiatives.
• Extensive professional experience in digital health, digital products, software platforms, or related digital technology environments.
• Demonstrated digital DNA, including an inherent understanding of interoperability and modern digital ecosystems.
• Experience creating strategy from concept and carrying it forward through execution, rather than only implementing direction created by others.
• Strong understanding of the product development process and how digital products and platforms are built, scaled, and commercialized.
• Experience influencing senior leaders and aligning multiple stakeholder groups in a complex, global matrix.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally, potentially up to 60%, to work with teams, customers, and partners.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with modern, agile digital product and platform development in an environment that values both speed and quality.
• Digital health experience involving connected platforms, interoperability, or enterprise-scale digital ecosystems.
• Experience working across multiple businesses or portfolios to build shared strategies and roadmaps.
• Experience engaging directly with healthcare customers, external technology partners, or strategic advisory groups.
• Medical technology or regulated healthcare experience; helpful, but less important than strong digital product and platform experience.
• For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required.
