Michael Buyer "Before Tandem, I worked in the government sector. I was interested in making a big change in my career by finding a job in the private sector that involves helping people with a focus on the medical industry. The culture and atmosphere at Tandem is the best that I’ve ever experienced! Tandem seems to have a knack for hiring employees who genuinely care about their jobs and the impact, big or small, that they have on Tandem’s customers and products."
Robyn Sr. Administrative Assistant, Customer Technical Support "My interest in our product led me to pursue my role in tech support. Everyone should know that the people who work here are genuine. We care about each other, and we care about our customers. I am happy to be surrounded by people who accept me and share the same passion I do – helping other people."
Ron Territory Manager “I have family members with diabetes, and more importantly, my clinical partner, Chelsie is living with diabetes. A friend referred me to Tandem and it has been a wonderful experience. Tandem really listens to what health care professionals and patients have to say, and takes action directly as a response to that feedback. Knowing that I have the ability to provide solutions to people’s needs is the most rewarding part of my job.”
Chelsie Clinical Diabetes Specialist “I have been living with diabetes for 25 years. When I heard about Tandem and what they were doing for the diabetes community I knew I had to be a part of it. What I love most is that a lot of our employees live with diabetes and we understand that a pump isn’t just a pump, it is more personal than that. We take our patients’ feedback seriously and implement needed changes.”
Al Regional Sales Manager "I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age two, 36 years ago. I have never known anything else. Checking sugars and giving myself injections was always just another chore, like brushing my teeth or combing my hair. Growing up, I played football, skydived, and traveled extensively. Although diabetes was challenging, I never let it stop me from accomplishing my goals. I was drawn to Tandem because of the focus on making the lives of people living with diabetes better by finding ways to make managing it easier. After using injections for 34 years, I chose the t:slim Insulin Pump to be my first pump. I feel like the t:slim Pump was truly built for me. There is no greater joy than to help a patient who is new to pump therapy take their first steps with our pump, and then hear back from them about how much better they feel about their diabetes management. I want everyone to know that we want to know what we can do to be better than we are today. Tell us what you really think!"
Brandon Territory Manager “My dad has type 2 diabetes and I love that I get to help him out as much as possible. We talk all the time about new products and my mom comes to me for advice. At Tandem, we get to meet all different types of patients and have the ability to provide a product that can improve those lives. I’ve found that the people here are more than co-workers and more like family. The act of going above and beyond for patients fits perfectly in line with my culture and beliefs. I love working here so much and look forward to growing with the company.”
Jessica Clinical Diabetes Specialist “I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 11 years old and have been on insulin pump therapy since I was 12. My diagnosis led me to my career of becoming a nurse and CDE and hoping to inspire and help people through my personal experiences of living everyday with diabetes. As soon as I started on the t:slim Insulin Pump I knew that it was a product I truly loved and believed in, and from that moment I kept my eyes open for an opportunity with Tandem. Finally, in 2013, I got that opportunity and I could not be happier to be living every day with the opportunity to advocate for patients to be on the best insulin pump out on the market and help them gain better control of their diabetes. For the first time in my career, I am able to say that I love my job!”
Kerri Territory Manager "The passion that fills the Tandem hallways is contagious. I have had diabetes for almost 20 years and I feel so blessed to give back to our community by working with so many caring people on our customer support staff. As a patient and a colleague, I am proud to be part of this hard-working team that genuinely cares about getting to know the people we serve."
Tiffani Accountant “I don’t have diabetes, but my dad, grandpa, and grandma do. I believe that a smile goes a long way and has the potential to turn life around. I’m a dreamer who loves to try new things. I love being able to help people and be part of a great team here at Tandem.”
Amy Human Resources Representative “Coming out of college my dream was to find a job in the diabetes industry. I have diabetes and I heard about Tandem through a friend who was using the t:slim and loved how cool and modern the pump was. From then on I kept an eye on Tandem’s job board.”
Enid Commercial Contracts Administrator "My college roommate was the first person with type 1 diabetes I met. After supporting her through a hypoglycemic episode that required hospitalization, I dedicated myself to the diabetes and medical device fields. Tandem is an open-minded company that listens to employees’ ideas and supports them with a, “let’s do this!” attitude. The same culture extends to our research and development where the user experience of real patients is studied. Patients provide relevant feedback to create consumer goods that patients actually find helpful in their daily life. Tandem’s consistent approach to working with people inside and out is a unique quality that resonates with modern values and produces products that are truly inspired by patients. If you visit, and say hello to someone in jeans and t-shirt, it was probably one of our executives. If I could change one thing about Tandem, I’d have all of our employees in one building!"
Mike Manager, Human Resources Business Partner & HRIS "I've worked in medical device and biotech for most of my career and the diabetes space is without a doubt the most passionate group of people I've had the honor to work with. Here at Tandem we work with a large number of employees directly impacted by the disease. Prior to working at Tandem I was consulting, which gave me the unique opportunity to work at several companies over a short period of time. It didn't take long to figure out that this place was different. Cool people, great product, and an environment where your ideas are heard. If I could implement one new thing here, it would be group hugs every morning. If you don't like this idea, raise your hand, you most likely need it most.”
