A Day in the Life

The Peripheral Vascular Health (PVH) business is hiring a Carotid Product Manager within our Global Marketing Team to launch and manage products within our growing carotid product portfolio.

At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. In-person exchanges are invaluable to our work. We’re working a minimum of 4 days a week onsite as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary. 

Carotid artery disease is caused by the narrowing of the blood vessels in the neck that carry blood from the heart to the brain. Carotid artery stenosis can be caused by plaque build-up in the blood vessels (atherosclerosis) or blood clots that can travel up to the brain leading to a stroke, which is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States and a major public health concern worldwide. Revascularization or opening the blockage in the arteries to prevent stroke is an important treatment option for patients suffering with carotid disease and represents a rapidly growing market in the United States.

This is a unique role for someone with strong business acumen and marketing experience.
