At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world.

A Day in the Life

As a Senior Finance Program Manager within Operations, you’ll be the finance lead for a designated set of insulin technology, pump, CGM, software programs and owning OPEX, CAPEX, and full-lifecycle business cases from concept through post-launch. Aligned to these high-priority initiatives, you’ll collaborate with R&D, Marketing, Operations, and Supply Chain to optimize capital allocation, safeguard margins, and ensure every invested dollar delivers maximum value to the business and our patients.

This position is an exciting opportunity to work with Medtronic's Diabetes business. Medtronic has announced its intention to separate the Diabetes division to promote future growth and innovation within the business and reallocate investments and resources across Medtronic, subject to applicable information and consultation requirements. This separation provides our team with a bold opportunity to unleash our potential, enabling us to operate with greater speed and agility. As a separate entity, we anticipate leveraging increased investments to drive meaningful innovation and enhance our impact on patient care.

This role requires you to work on-site at our Northridge, CA office at least 3 days per week. This on-site presence is vital for collaboration and maintaining strong team connections.
