A Day in the LifeCareers That Change Lives
The ICT Integration Lead is accountable for advancing a cohesive, end-to-end Interventional Cardiology Therapies (ICT) business over time, while aligning to leadership direction on pacing and prioritization. The role ensures the organization maintains strong execution within individual therapy areas in the near term, while deliberately building toward a more integrated operating model and customer experience.
The Integration Lead balances two critical objectives: protecting delivery and performance within each therapy area and preserving line of sight to the long-term opportunity to unlock greater value across the combined ICT portfolio.
Key Responsibilities:
Integration Strategy and Phasing:
Define a clear, phased approach to ICT integration, including near-, mid-, and longer-term priorities
Establish what integration activities should occur now versus later, based on business readiness and value
Continuously assess and adjust the integration roadmap in alignment with leadership direction, execution progress, and organizational capacity
Protection of Therapy Execution:
Ensure integration efforts do not disrupt delivery of core business commitments, including product development, clinical milestones, and commercial performance
Maintain clarity of ownership and accountability within therapy areas
Evaluate and prioritize integration activities based on impact to execution risk and business outcomes
Identification of Targeted Integration Opportunities:
Identify and advance high-value, low-disruption integration opportunities across the ICT portfolio
Enable collaboration where it improves performance, without introducing unnecessary complexity or coordination overhead
Focus on “no-regret” moves that create immediate value while laying the groundwork for future integration
Leadership Alignment and Communication:
Support leadership alignment on the integration approach, including rationale for pacing and sequencing
Maintain a consistent narrative that balances near-term execution priorities with long-term integration objectives
Reinforce shared accountability for advancing the overall ICT business, in addition to individual therapy performance
Coordinate ICT leadership team meetings, quarterly business reviews, operating norms, and other critical LT priorities
Future-State Operating Model Development:
Define the long-term vision for an integrated ICT operating model, including how the organization will collectively serve interventional cardiologists
Develop future-state scenarios and pathways without forcing premature implementation
Ensure alignment between innovation, clinical, regulatory, and commercial functions over time
Operating Model and Governance:
Define and implement decision-making structures and operating mechanisms that reflect both current autonomy and future integration
Clarify decision rights across therapy areas and functions
Enable effective escalation and resolution of cross-functional issues
Cross-Functional Alignment:
Facilitate alignment across enabling functions, including R&D, clinical, regulatory, marketing, quality, finance, and HR
Clarify where coordination is required versus where independent execution is appropriate
Manage interdependencies to ensure progress without over-integration
Program Leadership and Integration PMO:
Establish and lead the integration program and associated PMO structure
Provide visibility into progress, milestones, dependencies, and risks across integration initiatives
Ensure disciplined execution against agreed priorities, aligned to the phased integration approach
Role Principles
Integration is advanced deliberately and in alignment with business readiness, not driven prematurely
Near-term performance and commitments take priority, with integration efforts designed to support—not disrupt—delivery
Focus is placed on high-value integration opportunities that improve outcomes without introducing unnecessary complexity
The long-term vision for an integrated ICT business is maintained, even as execution remains phased
Expected Impact
Sustained performance and delivery within individual therapy areas
Clear, coordinated progress toward an integrated ICT operating model over time
Improved alignment across functions without loss of focus or accountability
Positioning of the ICT business to deliver a more connected and effective experience for interventional cardiologists in the future
