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

Our Pune Global Capability Centre has grown from zero to more than 400 colleagues in approximately 18 months. The next chapter is more ambitious: establish Pune as a high-performing, globally connected center of expertise that helps MiniMed innovate faster, operate smarter and deliver greater value to the people we serve.

 

We are seeking a Site Director who thinks like an enterprise leader, builds like an entrepreneur, delivers with discipline and who behaves as a reference account for the MiniMed culture. This is not simply a role to manage a location. It is an opportunity to shape one of MiniMed’s critical global hubs and leave a lasting leadership legacy.

About MiniMed

What you should expect from MiniMed is the drive of a startup with the resourcing of a public one. Small enough to make an impact internally but serious enough to play a role in care for millions of customers.  And we’re adding to our world class team. Interested?  Read on. 

The opportunity

Build the hub. Shape the culture. Accelerate the impact.

This is not simply a role to manage a location. It is an opportunity to shape one of MiniMed’s critical global hubs and leave a lasting leadership legacy.

Your mandate

• Set a bold, practical multi-year vision for Pune, aligned to enterprise strategy, global functional priorities and future capability needs.
• Move the GCC beyond scale and transactional execution toward differentiated expertise, end-to-end ownership, innovation and measurable business outcomes.
• Unite a matrixed community around one MiniMed identity, clear standards, high performance and an exceptional employee experience.
• Build a trusted partnership with global leaders, ensuring Pune is seen as a source of solutions and strategic talent—not simply capacity.

What you will own

Strategy, growth and enterprise value

• Translate business demand into an integrated site strategy, capability roadmap and disciplined priorities; identify where Pune can create the greatest enterprise value.
• Partner with functional owners on new capabilities, transitions and transformation, with clear readiness, service, risk and value measures.
• Champion productivity, simplification, automation and continuous improvement; challenge work that adds complexity without impact.

Talent, leadership and culture

• Build a strong site leadership community across functions, even where reporting lines sit elsewhere; create shared accountability without blurring functional ownership.
• Partner with HR and functional leaders to attract, develop and retain outstanding talent; strengthen succession, leadership capability and internal mobility.
• Create a distinctive, inclusive, high-performance culture rooted in ownership, collaboration, integrity and MiniMed’s mission.

Operational excellence and stewardship

• Establish a clear site operating rhythm, decision forums, performance dashboard and transparent escalation of risks and dependencies.
• Work with Finance, HR, Legal, Compliance, Digital Technologies, Facilities and Security to maintain safe, resilient and compliant operations.
• Oversee site-level business continuity, workplace experience, security and crisis preparedness, with clear interfaces to accountable functional leaders.

Influence and external presence

• Be MiniMed’s senior visible leader in Pune, connecting colleagues to enterprise priorities and ensuring global executives understand the site’s contributions and opportunities.
• Build a strong external network in the Pune talent, university and GCC ecosystem to strengthen MiniMed’s reputation and access to capability.

What success looks like

Within the first 12–18 months, the successful leader will have established a credible multi-year site strategy; a cohesive cross-functional leadership team; clear site governance and a balanced scorecard; stronger talent pipelines and retention; and demonstrable improvements in capability maturity, productivity, service quality and strategic contribution. Specific targets will be agreed with global functional and executive leaders.

The leader we are looking for

• A proven senior leader in a GCC, global shared services, technology, operations or similarly complex multinational environment, with experience scaling and transforming a significant site or business.
• A builder who has progressed an organization from rapid growth to mature, strategic delivery—and can demonstrate measurable results.
• An enterprise thinker who understands matrix operating models, earns influence without relying on formal authority and can engage confidently with executive stakeholders.
• A talent magnet and culture carrier: demanding about outcomes, generous in developing others and comfortable making decisions amid ambiguity.
• Strong judgement on governance, operational risk and change, balanced with speed, curiosity and an improvement mindset.
• Excellent communication and executive presence; bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.

Experience that would add value

Healthcare, medtech, life sciences or other regulated industries; newly established GCCs; digital, data, technology, customer operations or finance capabilities; and familiarity with the Pune and wider India talent ecosystem.

Few roles offer the chance to shape a major global hub at the moment a company is defining its future. At MiniMed, you will have the platform to build capabilities, unlock talent and make decisions that matter—while contributing to a mission that touches people’s lives every day.
