About the role:

Boston Scientific was recognized as a Glassdoor Best Place to Work in 2026, ranking No. 15 on the Top 100 list, reflecting the culture our employees experience every day.

Boston Scientific is embarking on a multi-year enterprise AI transformation to responsibly and effectively integrate artificial intelligence across the organization. We are seeking an HR Director, AI Organization Transformation, to lead this effort from an enterprise organization and workforce transformation perspective, in close partnership with the CIO organization and senior business leaders.

This is a newly created leadership role within HR, reporting to the Vice President, Organizational Transformation & HR Strategy. The HR Director will establish the enterprise AI organization transformation strategy and roadmap, design the supporting operating model and governance structures, lead workforce and job redesign, and build and lead a small, high-impact team.

This role requires a leader who can operate simultaneously at the strategic and operational levels, shaping how the enterprise adopts AI while redesigning the structures, roles, and workflows that make that adoption real and sustainable across a highly matrixed, global organization.

This role follows a hybrid work model requiring employees to be in the local office at least three 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 may be available for this position.

• Apply task-level decomposition methodology to identify which tasks within roles are candidates for AI augmentation or automation, including the use of AI agents for multi-step workflows and decision support and redesign roles accordingly.
• Design new AI-era roles and job families as needed, including human-AI teaming roles, AI workflow orchestrators, and AI governance roles.
• Ensure job architecture, competency frameworks, and career paths are updated to reflect the skills required in an AI-augmented organization.
• Partner with Talent Management and Total Rewards to ensure job design outputs connect to workforce planning, hiring, performance, and compensation.

Workflow redesign

• Lead the identification and redesign of high-priority business workflows affected by AI ensuring redesign is embedded in AI implementation planning, not treated as an afterthought.
• Partner with functional leaders and process owners to map current-state workflows, identify automation opportunities and human-AI handoff points, and design future-state processes.
• Build a structured methodology for workflow redesign that business teams and HR Business Partners can use to scale the work across functions.
• Apply continuous improvement discipline (Lean, Agile, or equivalent) to workflow redesign efforts and establish feedback loops to measure impact.

Change enablement & adoption

• Lead enterprise change enablement efforts for AI initiatives, including stakeholder engagement, communications, adoption planning, and value realization.
• Develop and execute change strategies that account for the human dimensions of AI adoption, including role evolution, workforce anxiety, and cultural change.

• Experience leading workflow redesign or business process improvement efforts, including identifying opportunities to leverage AI, automation, or AI agents (agent-based systems) to enable more efficient and scalable workflows.
• Strong understanding of AI, GenAI, and agent-based (agentic) AI concepts, with demonstrated ability to translate these capabilities into enterprise use cases, operating models, and workforce implications.
