A Day in the Life

We are seeking a strategic, experienced, and proactive Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to lead and manage the global compliance and privacy functions for Medtronic Diabetes – a $2.8 billion medical device business that has recently announced that it will be spinning out into a standalone public company. Reporting to the company’s General Counsel, the CCO will be responsible for overseeing a comprehensive compliance program that ensures adherence to all applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards, ethical practices, and internal policies—across all regions of operation. The CCO will also lead the company’s global privacy team, ensuring compliance with global data protection regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, and other applicable privacy laws. The CCO will play a pivotal role in helping the company prepare for and operate successfully as a publicly traded company, aligning compliance programs with public company standards and shareholder expectations.

This role requires you to work on-site at our Northridge, CA office at least 3 days per week.

This position is an exciting opportunity to work with Medtronic's Diabetes business.

As a separate entity, we anticipate leveraging increased investments to drive meaningful innovation and enhance our impact on patient care.
