About The Role

Boston Scientific's Active Implantable Systems (AIS) R&D organization is seeking a Principal, Change Enablement Lead to join our AI Transformation core team and drive adoption of AI-enabled engineering workflows across R&D. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team that will enable the re-imagining of how work gets done across our R&D engineering functions. This role owns the human side of the transformation — building the AI champions program, developing role-specific training and enablement content, and maintaining the workflow playbooks that help engineers adopt new AI-enabled ways of working with confidence.

You will partner closely with the Transformation Lead and Project Manager on communications and change-readiness tracking, and with the Corporate HR Transformation Office on ADKAR-based adoption milestones and the HR L&D team on enablement programs. The ideal candidate brings a human-centered, experience-driven approach to change and is comfortable translating complex technical transformation into clear, compelling adoption strategies for diverse engineering audiences.

This role follows an onsite work model requiring employees to be in our local office at least four days per week. Boston Scientific will not offer sponsorship or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this position at this time. Relocation assistance is not available for this position.
