Project Manager, HR Strategic Initiatives

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. 

The Project Manager, HR Strategic Initiatives, leads enterprise-level HR transformation initiatives that advance Boston Scientific’s talent, learning and culture priorities. This role is responsible for delivering enterprise HR strategic projects each year, translating strategic intent into structured execution through disciplined project governance, stakeholder alignment and measurable outcomes. 

In 2026, the primary focus for this role is serving as the enterprise project manager for the Growth Mindset initiative, a culture transformation effort designed to embed behavior-change principles into systems, leader practices and employee experiences. Rather than operating as a standalone program, the initiative integrates Growth Mindset activation into enterprise processes and leadership practices to drive sustained organizational impact. 

This role partners closely with initiative sponsors, Enterprise Talent Management (ETM) leaders, HR Operations and cross-functional technical partners to drive alignment and execution. The role also supports facilitation of the ETM strategic project portfolio, providing governance, visibility and proactive risk management across enterprise talent initiatives. 

Operating within the HR PMO delivery framework, the role ensures disciplined execution, cross–center of excellence alignment and strong integration with broader HR and business strategies. 

At Boston Scientific, we value collaboration and synergy. This role follows a hybrid work model requiring employees to be in our 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 is not available for this position at this time.
