About The Position

At Medtronic, you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation, while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. You’ll lead with purpose, breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected, compassionate world. A Day in the Life Peripheral Vascular Health (PVH) is a dynamic business with annual revenue exceeding $1 billion across multiple high-growth therapy areas. PVH focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the peripheral arteries and veins, helping patients restore blood flow and reduce the risk of limb loss and other serious complications. The portfolio includes minimally invasive technologies such as drug-coated balloons, stents, atherectomy, thrombectomy, embolization, vein ablation, and embolic protection, designed to address complex peripheral vascular disease across a range of patient anatomies. By combining innovation, clinical evidence, and physician partnership, PVH aims to improve procedural outcomes and quality of life for patients worldwide. At Medtronic, we bring bold ideas forward with speed and decisiveness to put patients first in everything we do. This position is remote to enhance our competitive edge and expand our cross-functional collaboration efforts. This role will require 10% of travel to enhance collaboration and ensure successful completion of projects. The Medtronic Peripheral Vascular Health (PVH) Health Economics, Policy, and Reimbursement (HEPR) team is seeking a Principal Reimbursement Analyst to support reimbursement strategy and execution across the U.S. portfolio. In this role, you will provide focused support for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), embolization, and superficial venous therapies, with a strong emphasis on payer coverage strategy, policy & downstream analytics, and customer‑facing reimbursement tools. You will work with payers, providers, and internal stakeholders to help improve access to and adoption of PVH products and therapies. As a Principal Reimbursement Analyst, you will be a hands-on individual contributor working to support reimbursement strategy and execution across the Peripheral Vascular Health portfolio. You will use coding, coverage, payment, and policy knowledge to develop analyses, tools, and resources that support therapy access, product launch readiness, and field execution. This role will generally be U.S.-focused but may include global reimbursement planning assignments as well. A typical day may include developing reimbursement tools and educational materials, analyzing Medicare and commercial payer policies, conducting reimbursement trend analysis and CPT, APC, and DRG payment modeling to support planning and decision-making. This role includes heavy use of Excel, Power BI, dashboards, and other analytic tools to turn complex information into clear, practical deliverables for internal teams, sales partners, and customers. You will also support market access analytics and payer analytics in partnership with HEOR, sales operations, and commercial teams, and participate in pilots using Copilot/Power BI and other AI‑enabled tools for rule analysis and payer policy tracking. The analyst may also support analysis of hospital and payer price transparency data to generate market access insights across the PVH portfolio. You will also represent HEPR on product development, launch, and clinical study workstreams by providing reimbursement input, partnering with therapy leads and health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) colleagues on evidence-related needs, and helping ensure reimbursement considerations are reflected in cross-functional plans. In addition, you will provide direct support and education to U.S. customers and sales teams on coding, coverage, payment, documentation, prior authorization, and appeals, serving as a key reimbursement resource for therapies that do not have dedicated reimbursement field support. Success in this role requires strong analytical skills, sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively and independently in a matrixed environment. This position will require occasional travel based on business needs and candidate location.
