Mgr, Commercial Marketing,

About the role

This is where your work makes a difference. At Baxter, we believe every person—regardless of who they are or where they are from—deserves a chance to live a healthy life. It was our founding belief in 1931 and continues to be our guiding principle. We are redefining healthcare delivery to make a greater impact today, tomorrow, and beyond. Our Baxter colleagues are united by our Mission to Save and Sustain Lives. Together, our community is driven by a culture of courage, trust, and collaboration. Every individual is empowered to take ownership and make a meaningful impact. We strive for efficient and effective operations, and we hold each other accountable for delivering exceptional results. Here, you will find more than just a job—you will find purpose and pride. Your Role As the Commercial Marketing Manager for connectivity products in the US market, you will translate global portfolio strategy into focused commercial execution that drives demand, enables the sales organization, and supports profitable growth. You will bring strong market understanding, customer insight, and execution discipline to help Baxter compete in a rapidly evolving connected care environment. This downstream role is the US commercial counterpart to the upstream global product marketing function. While upstream marketing defines portfolio strategy, innovation priorities, and global roadmaps, this role will focus on turning those strategies into actionable US market plans, differentiated value messages, sales enablement tools, launch execution, and measurable commercial outcomes. The connectivity portfolio is strategically important to Care and Connectivity Solutions and represents a meaningful opportunity to strengthen Baxter’s value proposition across nurse call, smart devices, clinical communications, locating, and broader connected care workflows. This position will focus on accelerating adoption of connectivity solutions in the US by understanding customer needs, supporting field execution, and partnering across sales, global marketing, product management, clinical, service, and commercial operations.
