Work with exceptional global teams on a broad pipeline and build a career that makes a real difference for patients.\nModerna is strengthening its presence in Cambridge, Massachusetts, home to our global headquarters and a center of mRNA innovation. Working closely with leading universities and research institutions, our Cambridge team advances groundbreaking science that shapes the future of medicine. We welcome talent driven by innovation and committed to improving global health.\nAs Senior Manager, Program Management within Portfolio Development, you will be an individual contributor based at Binney, partnering with Lead Program Managers, Program Leaders, and cross-functional leaders to advance Moderna’s medicines and vaccines.\nYou will serve as a key thought partner and integrator, aligning program strategy, development plans, evidence generation, regulatory strategy, launch readiness, and execution priorities across the asset lifecycle.\nThis role calls for strong motivation, demonstrated experience working across complex cross-functional teams, strategic and operational leadership capabilities, and the ability to manage multiple programs or priorities in parallel.\nHere's What You'll Do:\nCollaborate with Program Leaders, Lead Program Managers, and cross-functional leaders to drive integrated program strategy and execution across assigned programs that may span multiple products, indications, development stages, and therapeutic areas, including infectious disease, rare disease, oncology, and immunology. Depending on program stage and assignment, your responsibilities may extend from early development and pivotal readiness through filing, approval, launch preparation, and post-approval lifecycle planning and management.\nLead the development and maintenance of integrated program plans that connect Research, CMC, Development, Medical Affairs, Commercial, and other relevant enabling functions. Bring together key activities, dependencies, timelines, milestones, critical paths, and decision points to support coordinated decision-making, integrated planning, and successful program progression.\nDrive cross-functional alignment by proactively identifying and managing risks, issues, and interdependencies. Coordinate mitigation, escalation, and resolution so teams understand how decisions and changes affect program priorities, development plans, and execution.\nLead or support preparation for key stage-gate, regulatory, filing, approval, launch-readiness, and governance decisions, based on program stage and assignment. Ensure program materials clearly communicate progress, dependencies, risks, and decisions requiring leadership input.\nFacilitate effective program team meetings and working sessions, ensuring clear decisions, ownership, accountability, and follow-through. Translate cross-functional discussions into coordinated actions and ensure execution against critical program milestones.\nIntegrate Medical Affairs and Commercial priorities into program planning, including evidence generation, medical and commercial readiness, launch planning, and lifecycle activities, as appropriate to program stage. Maintain alignment between these priorities, development plans, regulatory strategy, and overall program objectives.\nDevelop scenario analyses, recommendations, and program materials to support strategic and operational decision-making. Help teams evaluate options, understand trade-offs, and determine how alternative approaches affect timelines, dependencies, and execution priorities.\nMonitor program progress against key milestones, budgets, and objectives. Provide clear visibility into program performance and areas requiring leadership attention, supporting timely decisions and appropriate course corrections.\nLead assigned programs, indications, workstreams, or cross-functional initiatives with an appropriate level of independence. Balance multiple programs or priorities in parallel while contributing to broader Program Management capabilities and best practices.\nExplore opportunities to use generative AI tools to support information synthesis, integrated planning, and program communications, where appropriate, with human review and safeguards for confidential information.\nThe key Moderna Mindsets you’ll need to succeed in the role:\n“We act with dynamic range, driving strategy and execution at the same time at every step.” You will connect asset-level strategy with integrated plans, governance decisions, and milestone delivery, moving between strategic thinking and operational detail as programs progress.\n“We remove viscosity to encourage collective action.” You will bring functions together, clarify interdependencies, and establish clear ownership and follow-through so complex program teams can make coordinated decisions and move forward.\nHere’s What You’ll Need:\nBS degree in a scientific field with a minimum of 6 years of experience or MS degree in a scientific field at least 4 years of experience in a biotechnology or pharmaceutical setting.\nProven track record of successful project management experience in drug development across multiple phases (pre-clinical and clinical Phase 1-3).\nPrior experience managing or working within cross-functional project teams with timeline management and budgetary responsibility.\nStrong knowledge of project management tools and software (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project, and timeline visualization software).\nMust be adept at working in a fluid environment and foster a strong collaborative spirit internally and externally.\nStrong personal skills to influence without authority, motivate others and manage conflict.\nStrong written and oral communication skills as well as demonstrated organizational aptitude.\nHere’s What You’ll Bring to the Table:\nProject/program management training.\nPh.D. or PharmD and 2+ years of experience in a biotechnology or pharmaceutical setting.\nExperience leading or coordinating regulatory filings.\nLaboratory experience in an academic or biotechnology setting.\nOur Working Model\nAs we build our company, we have always believed an in-person culture is critical to our success.\nModerna champions the significant benefits of in-office collaboration by embracing a 70/30 work model.
