Medical device manufacturer spanning wound care, ostomy, and continence solutions
Convatec is a 5,000+ person medical device company operating across wound therapeutics, ostomy care, continence management, and infusion devices. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-heavy operational model: enterprise resource planning (SAP), industrial automation (SCADA, Rockwell FactoryTalk, Siemens Opcenter, Maximo), and supply-chain tools (SAP IBP, S/4HANA adoption underway). Sales hiring (159 open roles) dominates the active headcount, pointing to a go-to-market strategy centered on account penetration and channel expansion, while manufacturing and engineering sit well below that — consistent with a mature product portfolio focused on execution and compliance rather than platform innovation.
Notable leadership hires: Technical Lead, Tax Lead, Marketing Director
Convatec manufactures and distributes medical devices across four core categories: wound care products, ostomy management systems, continence and critical care solutions, and infusion delivery devices. The company operates a geographically dispersed footprint, hiring across 25+ countries including the UK, US, Colombia, Mexico, and Asia-Pacific markets. Operations are underpinned by SAP-based enterprise resource planning, industrial control systems (SCADA, PLCs, HMI), and test automation (Selenium, Playwright, Appium). The active project portfolio centers on hospital and community product evaluations, clinical research, regulatory compliance audits, portfolio optimization, and new product launches — indicating a business model balancing direct clinical validation with strategic account management and formulary positioning.
