A Day in the Life

Medtronic Diabetes impacts over 500 million people around the world — that’s roughly one in 10 adults. That means you probably know someone affected by this disease. At Medtronic, our Diabetes Operating Unit focuses on improving the lives of those within the global diabetes community. As a business, we strive to empower people with diabetes to live life on their terms by delivering innovation that truly matters and providing support in the ways they need it. We’re committed to meeting people with diabetes where they are in their journey, always with an aim to make their lives easier. Our portfolio of innovative solutions is designed to provide customers greater freedom and better health, helping them achieve better glucose control, while spending less time managing their disease.

Medtronic Diabetes is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Project Manager to join our Diabetes Transformation Project Management Office (PMO). This critical role will be responsible for the successful execution and delivery of key initiatives within our broader diabetes transformation program, aimed at improving patient outcomes, enhancing care delivery, and optimizing operational efficiency. Typical transformation projects often involve working closely with cross-functional teams such as, business, finance, operations, and leadership to ensure alignment, track progress, manage risks, and drive successful program completion.

This position is an exciting opportunity to work with Medtronic's Diabetes business. Medtronic has announced its intention to separate the Diabetes division to promote future growth and innovation within the business and reallocate investments and resources across Medtronic, subject to applicable information and consultation requirements. This separation provides our team with a bold opportunity to unleash our potential, enabling us to operate with greater speed and agility. As a separate entity, we anticipate leveraging increased investments to drive meaningful innovation and enhance our impact on patient care. Our Transformation team will play a pivotal role in the journey to become a standalone company.
