Many structural heart patients suffer from heart failure with limited options. Our Implantable Heart Failure Management (IHFM) business's AI, Product and Platforms organization is at the forefront of addressing these unmet patient needs through pioneering technology that enables early, targeted therapeutic intervention. Our innovative solutions are not just transforming patient care but also creating a unique and exciting environment for our team members. It is our driving force to help patients live longer and healthier lives. Join us and be part of our inspiring journey.

As Senior Manager, Business Systems, you own the end-to-end delivery of the business systems that power IHFM's commercial, clinical operations, and back-office functions as a working leader. This is a hands-on role: you personally lead requirements definition, system configuration, and validation alongside a small team of application developers, administrators, and analysts while owning prioritization, delivery, and outcomes across a portfolio of concurrent initiatives. You are the single point of accountability for translating business needs into scalable, compliant system solutions across the Salesforce ecosystem, enterprise integrations, and the processes that connect them. Business Systems operates as a dedicated team parallel to the IHFM product development teams; its focus is the commercial and enterprise systems that run the business, not product or device software.

Based in Irvine, CA, you'll join a high-impact medtech innovation hub in the heart of Orange County, collaborating in person with cross-functional teams to shape patient-focused technology.
