TheSenior Manager,Medical and Clinical Evidenceestablishesand leads the integratedMedical InformationandClinical Evaluationfunctions forNeuromodulation & Pelvic Health (NMPH)Operating Units. This leader serves a strategic role for evidence interpretation and physician-facing scientific exchange—ensuring the portfolio’s evidence is continuously sourced, synthesized, and translated into clear, balanced, compliantcommunications forHealth Care Professionals (HCPs)andfor regulators to support product safety, performance, andappropriate use.

This is atransformational leadership rolefocused on modernizing evidence operations end to end by integrating currently separate Clinical Evaluation and Medical Information teams into a single, high-performing capability to meet evolving global needs. The Senior Manager willsetthe strategy, governance, and operating model to deliver both regulatory-required outputs (e.g., clinical evaluation deliverables) andtimely, high-quality physician-facing scientific responses. Success requires strategic vision, operational rigor, and strongcross‑functionalinfluence.

Role Impact & Key Responsibilities

The Senior Manager is accountable for designing and leading an evidence strategy andoperatingmodel that:

• Sets evidence strategy for physician- and regulator-facing useby defining and executing amulti‑yearroadmap for how evidence isidentified, assessed, synthesized, and translated across theNM+PHportfolio to strengthen evidence used in clinical and regulatory decision-making.

• Builds a governed evidence-to-content lifecycleby standardizing upstream evidence inputs so the same foundational synthesis can support multiple downstream needs, including clinical evaluation deliverables, labeling-aligned scientific responses, and proactive HCP-facing content.

• Leads and develops the integrated Medical Information and Clinical Evaluation teams, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and successionplanning—building a culture of strong scientific judgment, patient-centered thinking, and compliance.

• Advances technology-enabled evidence excellenceby deploying approved, validated, and auditabletools—including analytics/AI whereappropriate—to enhance literature surveillance, evidence synthesis, and response quality, supported by clear governance and continuous improvement.

• Elevates physician-facing scientific exchange and medical informationby building modern, proactive approaches that ensure communications are scientifically rigorous, balanced,timely, and clinically usable in a high-volume information environment.

• Providescross‑functionalleadership and executive partnership, aligning with Quality, Regulatory, R&D, and Marketing/Commercial leaders on evidence strategy, prioritization, and resourcing, anddemonstratingenterprise impact through meaningful,transformation‑levelKPIs.

Successful candidates willdemonstrate:

• Visionary transformation leadership: buildingfuture‑stateevidence operations, not just sustaining current processes.

• Enterprise and portfolio mindset: implementing best practices at scale across therapies,notjustisolated projects.

• Executive influence: leading complex,cross‑matrixinitiatives withdecision‑makingauthority and minimal escalation, not just within one functionorwith high oversight.

• Operational modernization: developingAI‑enabledworkflows with measurableKPIimpact,notjustlimited to basicGPT/Copilot use oractivity‑levelimprovements.

• Clinician and regulator engagement: designingevidencedissemination strategies for multiple external stakeholders (e.g.,HCPsand regulators),notjusta single audience.
