About the RoleRole Overview
MiniMed is newly public, and every function here is being rebuilt for that reality - new governance, new expectations, and no time to waste. The Director, HR Business Partner for Corporate Functions owns the people strategy for five of the highest-leverage groups: Finance, Legal, Digital Technology, Corporate Development & Strategy & Transformation. You'll be the HR partner sitting with Executive leaders across all five - broader reach than most HRBP roles carry, and no layer standing between you and the decisions that matter.
This role reports directly to the CHRO, and it's an individual contributor seat with full latitude to run your own patch. It's built for someone who wants the breadth of a generalist, the stakes of partnering at the executive table, and the trust to make calls.
It requires real business acumen, executive presence, and the judgment to navigate very different functions - each with its own pace, risk tolerance, and definition of a good outcome.
This is a hybrid role based in Northridge, California, with an onsite expectation of 3 days per week
Key ResponsibilitiesStrategic HR Business Partnering: Be the person your leaders bring a half-formed problem to - because you already understand their function well enough to sharpen the question. Bring a clear, well-reasoned point of view into leadership discussions, and push back constructively when the easy answer isn't the right one. Own the outcome, not just the recommendation.
Talent Management & Development: Know the talent across your functions cold - who's ready for more, who's a flight risk, where the succession gaps actually are. Partner with the Director of Global Talent Management to run performance calibration and build development plans sharp enough to keep our best people from becoming someone else's best people.
Organizational Design & Workforce Planning: Partner with leaders to redesign structures for functions that are scaling and automating at the same time - including where AI genuinely changes the shape of a team, not just the tools it uses. Make the hard org design call when there's no clean answer and make it with enough clarity that people can act on it.
Drive a Performance Culture: Champion a high-performance culture across your client groups that reflects MiniMed's values. Coach leaders to make pay-for-performance real, not just a rewards-deck line item, and to give feedback direct enough to change behavior.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Building the Function: Work Talent Management, Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, and HR Ops as one team, not four separate inboxes. Represent your functions' needs in enterprise-wide HR initiatives and help build MiniMed's HR function from the ground up as a newly independent public company - this is a build, not a maintenance job.
