Marketing Director, Diabetes, DACH

Careers that Change Lives

The decision-making dynamic continues to evolve: patients have more say in their treatment choices, care is shifting away from specialists and the role of artificial intelligence is enhancing care. Medtronic Diabetes is reshaping its business to adapt to this change and create meaningful differentiation to drive customer preference and sales growth.

This will require close and regular collaboration and communication with many internal stakeholders, such as the Regional Business Leader, First Line Sales Managers and their teams, Marketing, Finance and Customer Care. Marketing Director will report to and work closely with the Regional Business Director for DACH. This role will cover Germany, Austria and Switzerland and is a remote role. This means that your home/remote location will be the primary work location. However, you may be required to attend meetings at a Medtronic site.
