Peripheral Vascular Health is dedicated to the treatment of peripheral arterial and venous diseases. We offer our physician customers a comprehensive suite of products and therapies to treat varying degrees of vascular disease - disorders of the circulatory system outside of the brain and heart. Our goal is to help healthcare professionals save limbs, reduce pain, and treat disease - so their patients can get back to enjoying what they love.

It's no accident - we work hard to cultivate a workforce that reflects our patients and partners. We believe it's the only way to drive healthcare forward and remain a global leader in medical technology and solutions.

Careers That Change Lives:

Reporting to the Director of Medical Science, the Principal Medical Affairs Specialist/ Medical Science Advisor is responsible for leading clinical evidence development for Venous applications globally within the Peripheral Vascular Health Operating Unit at Medtronic.

* Facilitate the work of KOLs in alignment with Medtronic medical communication strategies through publication and podium activities.
* Gather feedback and insights from KOLs and physician advisors to better inform Medtronic's research and development teams to overall strategic direction.
* Facilitate initial discussions, intake, and evaluation of physician-initiated research proposals, including ensuring timely communication between requestor and company.
* Understand and effectively communicate current scientific knowledge while maintaining technical expertise within a therapeutic area through attendance of major conferences, congresses, workshops, and training programs.
* Monitor all major meetings for abstract deadlines and work with investigators of Medtronic sponsored research to drive podium presence in support of corporate communication strategies and plans.

* Drives education and outreach for safe and effective use of our products.
* Develops, implements and oversees integrated evidence-based medical affairs strategic plans for relevant Medtronic organizations.

* Ensures effective objective value propositions are developed and articulated for Medtronic technologies to stakeholders (patients, health care providers, payers, government agencies, health technology assessment organizations, public) through appropriate channels.
* Domestic and international travel up to 50% of time.
