A Day in the Life At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You'll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world. A Day in the Life The Medtronic Clinical and Regulatory Solutions (MCRS) organization is seeking a Senior Program Manager to serve as the execution enablement lead for regulatory real estate initiatives, including site exits, consolidations, and footprint optimization. This role supports global real estate strategy by partnering directly with regional and local Regulatory Affairs (RA) teams, who retain execution ownership. The role accelerates progress by improving data readiness, structure, coordination, and early issue resolution—ensuring site exits with regulatory impact move forward efficiently and predictably. This role will partner closely with regulatory affairs professionals across the globe, especially in Europe and Asia. The individual operates in complex, ambiguous environments where no single system or function owns the full picture, and where progress depends on strong judgment, proactive problem solving, and hands‑on support to local teams. Responsibilities: - Act as an execution support lead for local and regional Regulatory Affairs teams, helping accelerate site exits by directly partnering on development of site‑specific regulatory exit plans aligned to real estate closure timelines. - Support regulatory planning for priority sites with regulatory impact, while execution accountability remains with local RA teams. - Provide hands‑on support for data collection, consolidation, and verification across sites (licenses, registrations, site attributes, manufacturing scope), ensuring data is complete, accurate, and ready for regulatory action without repeated follow‑up cycles. - Build on the initial high‑level datasets developed in FY26 by driving increased depth, validation, traceability, and usability for execution. - Proactively identify and resolve execution blockers by working directly with regional and local RA resources, addressing issues early rather than escalating late. - Establish interim sources of truth where systems are fragmented, clearly documenting assumptions, gaps, and validation steps to support audit readiness and decision‑making. - Capture practical execution learnings as work progresses and translate them into reusable frameworks, templates, and playbooks that local teams can immediately apply to accelerate additional site exits. - Prepare clear, decision‑ready updates for senior leadership (Director, Sr Director, VP) that distinguish execution status, risks, dependencies, and required decisions. - Manage work performed by external partners or consultants to ensure outputs are execution‑ready, realistic, and aligned to Medtronic operating constraints. Requirements: - Bachelor’s degree required. - Minimum of 7 years of experience in program management, regulatory operations, regulatory strategy, or complex cross‑functional initiatives within a regulated industry (medical device, pharma, or healthcare preferred). - Demonstrated experience leading work in ambiguous, data‑poor environments requiring judgment, synthesis, and proactive stakeholder engagement. - Strong understanding of regulatory site concepts (registrations, listings, licenses, legal manufacturer, manufacturing scope) and how they interact with real estate decisions. - Proven ability to operate at both strategic and execution‑support levels, including hands‑on data work when needed. - Executive‑level stakeholder management and clear escalation. - Structured problem solving without reliance on perfect systems or complete SME support. - High judgment in confidentiality‑sensitive situations. - Strong written synthesis and ability to translate complexity into decision‑ready materials. - Ability to influence and coordinate across teams without direct authority. - undefined Nice to Have: - Experience supporting site exits, footprint optimization, or large‑scale operational change. - Familiarity with FDA FURLS, global registration and licensing models, or RIM systems. - Experience developing playbooks, frameworks, or reusable operating models for global teams. - Background in regulated operations, quality systems, or regulatory transformation initiatives. For Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States, a degree that satisfies the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(A) is required.
