Director, Global Talent Management

At MiniMed, you can begin a lifelong career of exploration and innovation, while helping make a difference in the lives of people living with diabetes around the globe. You'll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation for a more connected, compassionate world.

About the Role

MiniMed is an insulin delivery company advancing automated therapy for people with diabetes, today and tomorrow. Our mission is to make every day a better day for people with diabetes. This role is for someone who wants to design systems that don’t exist yet, not administer ones that already do. It requires real business acumen — the ability to translate people strategy into outcomes the CEO and CHRO will act on — plus the comfort of operating in a fast-paced, newly independent company where the playbook is still being written.

This is a hybrid role based in Northridge, California, with an onsite expectation of 3 days per week.

Responsibilities

• Run the executive talent review cadence across every function — not a calendar exercise, but the forcing function that keeps leaders honest about how we get work done, the fuel behind our mission, who’s ready for more, who’s stalled, and who may be a flight risk. Turn what you find into succession plans we trust, not an org chart with names penciled in.
• Build MiniMed’s career framework from scratch — a self-service model that gives employees real ownership of their own development, backed by an IDP framework and toolkits managers will use. Own the L&D strategy end to end: evaluate vendors, choose the platform, and call the trade-off between building and buying.
• Stand up MiniMed’s early-career strategy — rotational and graduate programs — as a pipeline for the talent the company will need in three years, not just headcount for today. Build the long-term pipeline plan now, while there’s still room to shape it.
• Own the global performance management framework and keep evolving it — this isn’t a set-and-forget system. Build the tools and materials that make honest, feedback-first conversations the default, not the exception managers dread, using platforms and technology that make the experience feel seamless rather than administrative.
• Partner with business leaders and HRBPs on onboarding, org design, and workforce planning — and be the one who spots the structural or capability gap before it becomes a leadership team’s problem.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of progressive HR experience with a focus on talent management, organizational development, or related disciplines
• Or, advanced degree and 8+ years of progressive HR experience with a focus on talent management, organizational development, or related disciplines
• 7+ years of managerial experience

Qualifications

• Master's degree or MBA
• Experience supporting a company through an IPO or major organizational transition
• Strong business acumen with the ability to translate people strategy into business outcomes
• Experience operating in a fast-paced, high-growth, or newly independent company environment
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing performance management, career development, and learning programs at scale
• Exceptional communication, influencing, and stakeholder management skills
• Proficiency with HR technologies and the use of AI in talent and learning
• Global HR experience across multiple geographies

About MiniMed’s Ways of Working

• We are obsessed with one person. We start with one person, and work backwards to make their experience simpler. We advocate for them in every layer and detail of the business. The human wearing our devices.
• You will own it. Fast. Real decisions, real stakes, early. We trust capable people and get out of their way but support them along the way. The person closest to the problem is the person who solves it, and more often than you expect that person is you. We will back you every step of the way.
• Small teams. Real authority. No bureaucracy to hide behind and none to slow you down. We are intentional and move quickly. If that sounds like pressure, this may be the wrong place. If it sounds like freedom, welcome home. You will get to see your fingerprints on what we ship.
• Straight talk; high bar. We raise the standards on products, services, and processes. Our “do” equals our “say.” The feedback here is honest so we can enable everyone to do their best every day.
• We are courageous, together. Think big, start small, move fast. Speak up even when it is uncomfortable, and challenge ideas and decisions respectfully. We debate deeply but once a decision is made, we are all in as one team. Your voice counts here, and disagreement is safe even if you may feel it’s uncomfortable.
• The best idea wins. Not the loudest voice or the most senior title, the best idea, wherever it comes from. We have strong opinions, held loosely, molded by evidence. We seek out perspectives from inside and outside to keep inventing for our customers.
• Independence changes everything. It sharpens our focus and clarifies who owns what. It lets us move at the pace this moment demands — the discipline of a public company with the drive of a startup.
