A Day in the Life

The preferred locations for the position are Irvine or Santa Ana CA, or Minneapolis, MN

We’re seeking a high-caliber Executive Business Partner who blends exceptional executive support with strategic project coordination to enable operational excellence, executive efficiency, and enterprise impact. This is not a conventional admin role—this is a next-generation strategic partner to the EVP and President of Medtronic’s Cardiovascular Portfolio.

You will act as a trusted advisor and extension of the executive, proactively anticipating needs, managing confidential, high-impact initiatives, and driving clarity and alignment across a dynamic, fast-paced organization. This role offers unique visibility into enterprise decision-making and provides an opportunity to generate insights that inform and influence strategic priorities.

Executive Enablement

• Serve as a high-trust partner to the EVP, ensuring priorities are advanced with discretion, speed, and precision.
• Proactively manage a dynamic calendar, board/society commitments, and travel logistics—anticipating conflicts and solving problems before they arise.
• Lead meeting preparation including agendas, pre-reads, talking points, and follow-ups, with an eye toward executive readiness and impact.
• Actively monitor and manage inbox and communications, drafting and editing correspondence with exceptional professionalism and cultural sensitivity.

Strategic Coordination & Confidential Project Oversight

• Partner with the EVP to manage confidential and sensitive initiatives, tracking milestones, stakeholders, and deliverables across the portfolio.
• Drive cross-functional collaboration by coordinating complex projects that span business units, functions, and geographies.
• Conduct research, gather input from multiple sources, and distill findings into executive-level insights that support informed decision-making.
• Maintain a strong pulse on enterprise activities and proactively surface issues, patterns, or risks that need leadership attention.

Business Operations & Office Management

• Ensure smooth day-to-day operations, from office management to workflow optimization, with a focus on efficiency and continuous improvement.
• Manage all aspects of domestic and international travel—including visa documentation, agendas, itineraries, and expense processing.
• Coordinate high-profile meetings, events, and engagements with external stakeholders, including societies, boards, and industry partners.
• Maintain organized, confidential records and serve as a point of contact for highly sensitive information, using discretion and judgment at all times.

Who You Are

• A forward-thinking, proactive problem-solver with a passion for driving clarity and impact behind the scenes.
• Comfortable handling sensitive projects and information with integrity and professionalism.
• A natural collaborator with strong relationship skills and the ability to create insights and structure from complexity.
• Equally confident supporting high-level strategic discussions and handling operational details with precision.

Must Have: Minimum Requirements 

• 10+ years of administrative and/or project coordination experience
• Experience supporting VP-level or above leaders
• High school diploma or GED
• Experience working in a global, matrixed organization
• Willingness to occasionally provide support outside of standard business hours, including evenings and weekends as needed
