Intern Market Development Strategy in Watford

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.

This posting is part of our cooperation with Saïd Business School (University of Oxford) and is open only to Master’s degree students of this university. Applications from other candidates will not be considered. Deadline to apply: 15th May 2026.

The internship will focus on developing a product differentiation strategy and a scalable competitive advantage by leveraging Medtronic’s TAVI strategic programs and strategic partnerships in the AI and digital space.

The internship will involve value mapping, identification of key value enhancers, and an assessment of whether these value enhancers should be developed organically or inorganically through partnerships. The role will also evaluate the best approach to scale this product differentiation strategy from an initial pilot market (the UK) to other countries across Western Europe.

This internship will give you hands-on experience in strategic marketing intelligence, market analysis, and cross-functional teamwork, helping you build valuable skills for a future career in the MedTech industry.
