At DePuy Synthes, we see the person beyond the procedure. As one of the world's most comprehensive orthopaedics companies, we exist to move the people who move us – restoring mobility, confidence and quality of life for patients around the world. Our innovations span joint reconstruction, trauma, extremities, craniomaxillofacial, spinal surgery and sports medicine, alongside our VELYS™ digital surgery portfolio – engineered for performance and fine‑tuned for feeling.

Behind every one of those solutions is a team of people who care deeply about the difference our work makes. Johnson & Johnson announced plans to separate our Orthopaedics business to establish a standalone orthopaedics company, operating as DePuy Synthes.

The process of the planned separation is anticipated to be completed within 18 to 24 months, subject to legal requirements, including consultation with works councils and other employee representative bodies, as may be required, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and approvals.

Should you accept this position, it is anticipated that, following conclusion of the transaction, you would be an employee of DePuy Synthes and your employment would be governed by DePuy Synthes employment processes, programs, policies, and benefit plans. In that case, details of any planned changes would be provided to you by DePuy Synthes at an appropriate time and subject to any necessary consultation processes.

We are looking for talented people who want to make a global impact and who share our commitment to putting patients first – people who bring their whole selves to work and support one another to do their best.
