About the role:

Boston Scientific is currently in search of a Senior Communications Manager who can bring valuable contributions to the company’s Endoscopy and Urology (MedSurg) divisions. The ideal candidate should possess a strong passion for leadership communications and storytelling, along with a solid grasp of operating within a regulated industry and effectively engaging various stakeholder audiences through multiple channels, both internal and external. This individual will play a vital role as a member of the Corporate Communications team, taking charge of developing and implementing strategic executive and internal communications strategies to drive business growth, foster employee engagement, and enhance our corporate culture.  

Given that the MedSurg and Corporate Communications teams primarily operate from our headquarters in Marlborough, MA, we are inclined towards candidates who can comfortably work in a hybrid capacity, splitting their time between remote work and being present at the Marlborough office three days per week on average.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Develop and implement executive communication strategies for the presidents of the Endoscopy and Urology business units, targeting both internal and external stakeholders, with a primary emphasis on fostering employee engagement.
• Provide guidance and collaborate closely with senior leadership in MedSurg regarding messaging, communication strategies, tactics, and approach.

• Lead and oversee communication plans supporting the strategies and key priorities of the Endoscopy and Urology business units.
• Collaborate with colleagues in corporate communications to effectively manage and address reputational issues, while advising management on the impact of reputation on the business and influencing decision-making processes.
• Supervise the development and execution of internal communication strategies throughout the business unit.
• Identify and drive improvements in processes and content for executive and internal communication channels.
• Manage a team of three communicators, focusing on promoting high performance and professional growth.
• Partner with senior leadership and HR business partners on change communication related to organizational changes and other critical change management initiatives.
• Collaborate with corporate communications team members to identify and amplify compelling stories from the Endoscopy and Urology business units as part of the broader Boston Scientific narrative, reaching both global employees and key external audiences.
• Coordinate cross-functional reviews and approvals of content involving marketing, clinical, legal, regulatory, and other key stakeholders.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, Public Relations, English, or a related field.
• Minimum of 8+ years of experience in employee and leadership communications within a corporate or agency setting, with a preference for healthcare industry experience (e.g., medical devices, medical technology, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology).
• Extensive track record in developing and implementing strategic communications plans across various internal and external channels, encompassing corporate brand reputation, business strategy, priorities, employee engagement, and thought leadership.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Meticulous attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work within specified timelines.
• Proven track record of providing strategic guidance and advice across all organizational levels.
• Exceptional project management abilities, including organizational, planning, and time management skills.
• Solution-oriented mindset, with a willingness to propose innovative ideas and explore new approaches.
• Proficient in collaborating with virtual teams across multiple locations and time zones.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a high level of emotional intelligence, facilitating consensus-building and incorporating diverse perspectives into recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment and foster collaboration.
