Careers that change lives start here. Medtronic is a global leader in healthcare technology with a Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life. Our 95,000 employees work across more than 150 countries to put patients first — developing innovative medical technologies that improve the lives of 72+ million patients each year. Your unique talents will help shape the future of healthcare while building a career grounded in purpose, growth, and impact.
A Day in the Life
We are seeking a committed professional to join our team. While this is a remote position not located at a physical Medtronic site, the candidate hired will be required to reside within the territory and drive to multiple accounts throughout the region. A valid driver's license is essential for this role.
The Senior Government Sales Representative is the primary field-facing individual for the Medtronic Acute Care & Monitoring (ACM) Government Strategic Programs organization within an assigned geographic region. This individual is accountable for selling and growing the strategic components of the ACM portfolio — spanning Acute Care & Patient Monitoring device sales and Digital Health Home solutions— across VA Medical Centers (VAMCs), DoD Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), and Indian Health Service accounts within their region. This role reports to the National Director for Government Strategic Programs; and serves as the face of Medtronic's federal healthcare business at the region level. The ideal candidate combines federal health sales experience with a consultative, multi-product selling approach, and demonstrates the ability to navigate complex government procurement and clinical environments while maintaining rigorous pipeline discipline and customer relationship management.
Territory: The territory includes Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. While candidates may be based anywhere within the territory, there is a strong preference for individuals located in close proximity to a major airport to support travel across the region.
A Day in The Life
The Senior Government Program Sales Representative spends their time building relationships, advancing opportunities, and delivering value across a broad federal account base. The role blends clinical selling with program management, requiring fluency across both medical device and digital health businesses within the same territory. No two days are the same: one day may focus on competitive displacement at a VA Medical Center; the next on advancing a VISN-level standardization conversation or supporting a Digital Health enrollment initiative. Success in this role comes from the ability to manage complexity across a diverse portfolio, stay aligned with a collaborative franchise team, and operate with the discipline and integrity that federal market engagement demands.
