Finance Business Partner (Hybrid Schedule)

At Cook, there are common themes across every medical specialty we support: patients want to get better and doctors want simpler, more effective options. That’s why we work hard to improve our minimally invasive medical devices and the way they’re delivered to hospitals and doctors around the world. Being a family-owned business allows us to do what’s best for the patient. It gives us the freedom to work through a problem for as long as it takes to find the simplest solution.

The Financial Business Partner will collaborate with leadership and is responsible for financial planning, reporting and analysis.  As a partner with business operations, the individual will help develop, understand, and present financial and business analysis, while also providing support for process and cost improvements.

Cook offers a collaborative working environment and a hybrid schedule.  The general expectation for hybrid employees is to work on-site 1-3 days per week in Bloomington, Ind, depending on the needs of the business.
