• Translate commercial strategy, evolving product profiles, clinical evidence, and Moderna’s scientific platforms into clear, actionable, and easily executable go-to-market strategies.
• Lead select strategic initiatives across the brand in both the US and EX-US, operating with the dynamic range to move seamlessly between long-term strategy development and detailed execution.
• Partner closely with Sales, Commercial Operations, Clinical Development, Medical Affairs, Market Access and Value Creation, Finance, Regulatory, Legal, and other critical members of the oncology ecosystem, including our alliance partner, to deliver against the ambition for the brand.
• Identify capability-development opportunities within Sales and the broader commercial organization and develop the tools, resources, and approaches required to strengthen team skills and readiness for future indications and launches.
• Help build the commercial foundations required for Moderna’s expansion into cancer therapeutics, contributing to the launch of a pioneering personalized mRNA oncology program designed around each patient’s unique tumor profile.
• Bring a highly collaborative, roll-your-sleeves-up leadership style suited to a rapidly growing biotech environment, balancing high-visibility strategic leadership with direct ownership of critical work.
• Explore opportunities to use Generative AI and other emerging digital tools to accelerate insight synthesis, scenario development, competitive assessment, content development, and commercial decision-making, while operating within appropriate governance and compliance frameworks.
