A Day in the Life

The Product Owner supports the execution and continuous improvement of remote sales capabilities within the Channel Innovation & Customer Engagement (CICE) team under Global Commercial Operations. This role helps translate business needs into practical, scalable solutions that improve seller effectiveness, strengthen adoption of tools and processes, and enhance the experience of remote and distributed commercial teams. The role operates in a fast-moving, cross-functional commercial environment and works closely with business and technical partners to deliver meaningful outcomes for U.S.-focused remote sales teams, while maintaining alignment to broader global capabilities and standards.

This role serves as a key connector across business stakeholders, IT, enablement, training, communications, and field teams to support the delivery of new tools, enhancements, and process improvements for remote sales. The individual will help manage priorities for the remote sales tools agile pod, define and refine business needs, coordinate delivery across partners, and support successful rollout and adoption. Success in the role requires strong execution, sound judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to balance strategic direction with day-to-day delivery.

The position requires someone who can work effectively across a matrixed organization, build shared understanding among stakeholders, and help the team move from ideas to execution with clear scope, measurable value, and strong follow-through. The role is expected to contribute to roadmap planning, backlog refinement, release coordination, communications, training support, value measurement, and stakeholder alignment, while helping the organization scale tools and ways of working that support remote commercial teams in a practical, customer-focused way.

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.
