A Day in the Life
Are you ready to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of accounting and control for Diabetes International? The Diabetes business is becoming an independent, publicly traded company, with a clear focus on innovation, operational excellence, and growth in diabetes care. As the Accounting & Control Improvement Lead, you will drive the operationalization and optimization of accounting and control processes, ensuring our readiness for Day 1 (Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the business) and leading the deployment of SAP S/4HANA for financial processes for Day 2 (Transition Service Agreement (TSA) exit with Medtronic). This is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on our international operations, collaborating with cross-functional teams and influencing the way we work across regions.

This role is based in Spain with flexibility for hybrid or remote work. You will report to global finance leadership and work closely with regional controllership, IT, and other value streams, and functions. Occasional travel may be required to support business needs and foster collaboration across geographies.

This position is an exciting opportunity to work with Medtronic's Diabetes business. Medtronic has announced its intention to separate the Diabetes division to promote future growth and innovation within the business and reallocate investments and resources across Medtronic, subject to applicable information and consultation requirements. This separation provides our team with a bold opportunity to unleash our potential, enabling us to operate with greater speed and agility. As a separate entity, we anticipate leveraging increased investments to drive meaningful innovation and enhance our impact on patient care.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Support value streams with the implementation of efficient accounting and control processes to ensure operational readiness for Day 1 (IPO)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including IT, to optimize end-to-end (E2E) processes

• Oversee the yearly financial group audit for the International region and Shared Services
• Implement a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) framework to monitor and optimize process performance in cooperation with Shared Services
• Shape and standardize the statutory reporting process, ensuring compliance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and local regulations
• Provide leadership and guidance to the accounting & control team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Required Knowledge and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field; CPA (Certified Public Accountant), CMA (Certified Management Accountant), or equivalent certification preferred
• Minimum of 10 years' experience in finance operations, process/system improvement, or related roles, ideally within a multinational organization
• Proven experience leading large-scale system implementation projects, including SAP S/4HANA
• Expertise in designing and optimizing accounting and control processes for international shared services environments
• Strong understanding of US GAAP and financial reporting standards
• Excellent leadership, project management, and stakeholder management skills.

Experience managing culturally diverse teams and driving continuous improvement initiatives is a plus. Familiarity with statutory reporting processes, value stream design, and KPI management will help you excel in this role.
