Your role at Baxter

As the Senior Finance Manager for Global Service, you will serve as the primary finance partner to Baxter’s Global Service organization—supporting a business of roughly $400M in annual revenue that is growing and evolving quickly. You will work directly with our Vice President of Global Service, and sit on his leadership team, providing financial insights, strategic guidance, and operational partnership across Care and Connectivity Solutions (CCS), Front Line Care (FLC), and Integrated Therapy Solutions (ITT). Because Global Service supports nearly every part of Baxter, this role offers broad exposure across regions, commercial teams, operations, and corporate functions, making it one of the most visible and influential finance roles in the organization.

You will join a highly collaborative team led by our Senior Finance Director, a long‑tenured and well‑respected leader known for developing talent and creating meaningful growth opportunities. The scope of this role has expanded from a regional focus to a truly global one, giving the incoming leader the opportunity to shape processes, elevate financial rigor, and drive standardization across markets. For someone who enjoys being a “player‑coach,” influencing senior executives, and translating data into clear recommendations, this is a strong platform for impact—and a role with a clear path to advancement within Baxter’s finance leadership.

This is a hybrid role based in Deerfield, IL.

• Identify opportunities to improve financial processes, tools, and models, with a focus on efficiency and stronger business partnership.

• Prepare and present monthly financial results with the VP of Global Service to the CCS Division President and Division CFO.

• Manage two direct reports and provide leadership to a broader matrixed team, including CoE partners and local country finance teams.

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance preferred; CPA or other professional certification is a plus.

• 7+ years of progressive experience in accounting or finance; public accounting or large public company experience preferred.

• Strong understanding of financial planning, forecasting, process management, and actuals reporting.

• Experience influencing senior leaders and driving outcomes in a complex, matrixed organization.
