The Principal Government Sales Representative is the primary field-facing individual for the Medtronic Acute Care & Monitoring (ACM) Government Strategic Programs organization within an assigned geographic region. This individual is accountable for selling and growing the strategic components of the ACM portfolio — spanning Acute Care & Patient Monitoring device sales and Digital Health Home solutions— across VA Medical Centers (VAMCs), DoD Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), and Indian Health Service accounts within their region. This role reports to the National Director for Government Strategic Programs; and serves as the face of Medtronic's federal healthcare business at the region level. The ideal candidate combines federal health sales experience with a consultative, multi-product selling approach, and demonstrates the ability to navigate complex government procurement and clinical environments while maintaining rigorous pipeline discipline and customer relationship management.
Territory: The territory includes Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. While candidates may be based anywhere within the territory, there is a strong preference for individuals located in close proximity to a major airport to support travel across the region.
A Day in The Life
The Principal Government Program Sales Representative spends their time building relationships, advancing opportunities, and delivering value across a broad federal account base. The role blends clinical selling with program management, requiring fluency across both medical device and digital health businesses within the same territory. No two days are the same: one day may focus on competitive displacement at a VA Medical Center; the next on advancing a VISN-level standardization conversation or supporting a Digital Health enrollment initiative. Success in this role comes from the ability to manage complexity across a diverse portfolio, stay aligned with a collaborative franchise team, and operate with the discipline and integrity that federal market engagement demands.

Cross-Portfolio & Federal Account Management
Execute cross-sell campaigns leveraging the ACM installed base to open Digital Health conversations — and vice versa.
Conduct territory-level quarterly business reviews covering full portfolio performance across Acute Care and Digital Health.
Maintain opportunity pipeline coverage across Acute Care and Digital Health programs combined.
Manage VA Facility-level, VISN-level, and MTF relationships in concert with the National Key Account Manager — VA and commercial sales & clinical teams.
Lead and participate in joint call planning with aligned ACM commercial sales representatives and clinical specialists.
Map DHA procurement contacts and support MTF product evaluations (McGrath MAC, Nellcor, Argos, airway management) within DoD/W accounts.
Maintain accurate CRM pipeline hygiene across all product lines; update accounts and opportunities weekly.
Ensure all federal engagement complies with FAR/VAAR regulations and Medtronic government contracting policies.
