The driving force behind our success has always been the people of Aspen Tech. What drives us, is our aspiration, our desire and ambition to keep pushing the envelope, overcoming any hurdle, challenging the status quo to continually find a better way. You will experience these qualities of passion, pride and aspiration in many ways — from a rich set of career development programs to support of community service projects to social events that foster fun and relationship building across our global community.##

** The Role
** We are hiring for a key role that sits at the heart of our employee experience and communication strategy! Our culture comes to life through the programs, processes, and connections our employees experience every day – from onboarding to the moments that shape their careers.
Based in Bedford, MA at Aspen Tech HQ, we are seeking a Principal Culture Specialist to help shape and tell the story of our culture as Aspen Tech continues to grow as part of Emerson. You will partner closely with HR, Marketing, the Control Systems and Software Business Group, and the HR Enterprise team at Emerson to design employee experience and learning programs, lead our global employee groups and legacy culture initiatives, and elevate how we communicate with our people, bringing   clarity, creativity, and a modern touch.
You are passionate about making an impact and bringing fresh thinking to how we engage and communicate globally. You push yourself to deliver meaningful results, and you are comfortable challenging the status quo with thoughtful, creative solutions. You communicate with clarity and confidence, and you genuinely enjoy connecting with people, shaping stories, and helping teams stay aligned and motivated. You are self-directed and resourceful, energized by ambiguity, and you thrive when working across levels, functions, and cultures with limited resources.
If you are keen to take on this challenge and make an impact, we would love to hear from you.##
