A Day in the Life

The Marketing Competitive Strategy Manager is the CRM-level subject matter expert on CRM competitive market dynamics, product lines, and positioning of CRM projects, managing CRM-level competitive intelligence and response strategies and coordinating the CRM Competitive Council (comprised of CRM and OU-competitive leads, and global partners for the extended council) to guide CRM-wide competitive strategy.

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. 

A Day in the Life: 

The Marketing Competitive Strategy Manager  begins the day prioritizing emails that may have arrived overnight from global partners and reviews any news releases, regulatory site updates, and field reports of competitive activity.  You may need to work with the commercial teams to respond to a product announcement, press release, or competitive quality action, and work with the commercial competitive leads to provide consistency across the commercial efforts.  It’s time to listen to a competitive investor call, create an email summary of CRM-specific performance, claims, and pipelines, and share with key stakeholders.  A call from a field rep may require referral to a commercial colleague, or you may point the caller to an online resource, like the CRM competitive manual library, that you just updated yesterday.  An enterprise account manager may need help working with a client request for competitive positioning, and you provide them with the CRM product matrix.  You can catch up on your emails and schedule the next CRM competitive council meeting, where you and the commercial competitive leads will meet and share information on the latest competitive activity, and work to coordinate competitive campaigns as we continue to gain share across CRM.
