Senior Manager SEC Reporting, Critical Care

For over 50 years, the Critical Care business within Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) has operated at the intersection of groundbreaking medical innovation and improved patient care. Put simply, we exist because we’re committed to creating a world where every patient who should be monitored will be monitored with smart technology.  

With this impactful vision in mind, we are now embarking on becoming an independent business from Edwards, a process that we currently expect to be completed by January 2025.  

As Critical Care transitions to an independent company, we will continue to benefit from the expertise and experience of 4,000+ dedicated global employees, a vibrant innovation engine with strong investment in our future pipeline, and strong sales growth and profitability. We are well-positioned to build upon our category leadership as we continue to launch new solutions powered by A.I. to clinicians, and expand into new care settings.     

So, if you're a dynamic and passionate person who is eager to contribute to an innovative, industry-leading advanced monitoring company we invite you to explore our career opportunities. Those who choose to join us will be part of a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ journey to improve the quality of care and outcomes for millions of patients around the world.
