This role operates as a peer to Labs of Tomorrow Program Managers, where the PMs own delivery and this role owns adoption, behavior change, and value realization.

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to Labs of Tomorrow leaders on stakeholder readiness, change risks, and adoption strategy.

Communications & Training
  • Develop audience-specific communications strategies for senior leaders, scientific teams, lab users, enabling functions, and impacted stakeholders.
  • Translate complex cross-functional transformation information into clear, practical, and digestible formats.
  • Design and deliver training, playbooks, onboarding materials, workshops, town halls, and engagement sessions that build capability and accelerate adoption.

Program Integration
  • Work in peer partnership Labs of Tomorrow PMs to integrate change milestones, stakeholder dependencies, and adoption risks into broader program plans.
  • Provide a "wide-angle lens" on cross-functional change impacts that may affect execution, adoption, or sustainability.
  • Support governance materials and executive updates by clearly communicating adoption progress, change risks, decisions needed, and mitigation plans.

Metrics & Continuous Improvement
  • Ensure transformation efforts translate into measurable improvements in productivity, efficiency, and decision velocity.
  • Define and monitor change adoption metrics, including readiness, engagement, behavior adoption, tool usage, training effectiveness, stakeholder sentiment, and realized impact.
  • Conduct regular readiness assessments and use feedback to refine change interventions.
  • Capture lessons learned and codify repeatable change management practices for future Labs of Tomorrow initiatives.

Qualifications
Education
  • Sound scientific knowledge with Bachelor's degree 18 years, MS 16 years or PhD 10 years in Science or Management related discipline
  • Expected of 5-7 years of change management experience with experience in early drug discovery (e.g., target identification, hit to-lead stages) and late drug discovery (e.g., candidate stage, preclinical/IND enabling stages) in the capacity as a program manager.
  • Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification and/or Change Management certification (e.g., Prosci, CCMP) required

Experience
  • Experience in biopharma R&D, lab operations, digital transformation, automation, or research operations strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience interacting with senior executives and influencing cross-functional stakeholders in a matrixed environment.
  • Strong understanding of organizational change management methodologies and practical application in complex scientific or technical environments.
  • Experience developing stakeholder engagement plans, readiness assessments, communication strategies, training plans, and adoption metrics.
  • Ability to integrate change management with project management disciplines, including planning, risk management, dependency tracking, milestone tracking, governance, and budget oversight.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret adoption data and translate insights into action.
  • Familiarity with lab automation, digital workflow tools, R&D transformation, or change management platforms preferred.

Leadership & Soft Skills
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to influence, negotiate, and build consensus across multiple levels of the organization.
  • Comfortable challenging the status quo and driving adoption of new behaviors and operating practices.
  • Proven problem-solving, analytical, and strategic planning capabilities.
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to distill complex issues into clear recommendations.
  • Entrepreneurial, proactive, and comfortable operating in ambiguity while creating structure for others.
