A Day in the Life

The Senior Digital / Social Media Specialist will play a critical role in advancing the Medtronic Interventional Cardiology Therapies (ICT) business by developing and executing integrated social media strategies across consumer and healthcare professional (HCP) audiences. This role spans both established franchises and an emerging, high-growth business, offering a unique opportunity to help shape and scale social media engagement across different lifecycle stages.

The role requires strong collaboration across the Integrated Marketing team, Digital Marketing, DTC, Corporate, legal, agencies and other cross-functional partners.

A core focus of the position will be owning and managing a robust direct-to-consumer (DTC) social media strategy for Renal Denervation—an exciting and expanding dimension of the RDN DTC marketing approach—alongside driving social engagement with healthcare professionals, primarily through LinkedIn.

Given the DTC component is expected to be roughly 70% of the role, consumer experience is highly preferred.
