Principal Product Manager - Congenital Therapies at MED Medtronic Inc — Santa Ana, CA

A Day in the Life

At Medtronic, our Congenital Therapies business is dedicated to improving outcomes for patients living with congenital and structural heart disease across every stage of life. The congenital space is uniquely complex, spanning pediatric and adult patients, specialized physician and care teams, and highly individualized treatment pathways. Success in this market requires more than strong products alone—it requires deep understanding of the clinical landscape, therapy adoption barriers, referral dynamics, and the evolving needs of centers treating this specialized patient population.

The Principal Product Manager is designed as a hybrid of strategic market development with execution-focused product marketing. This key role will help Medtronic grow and scale its impact in the congenital space, supporting global commercialization activities while also identifying opportunities to expand therapy awareness, adoption, and access. The individual will partner across global and regional teams to drive product launches, portfolio support, messaging, sales enablement, and commercial operations, while also helping shape market development strategies, physician and center engagement initiatives, and long-term growth opportunities for the congenital portfolio.
