The Role

Joining Moderna means advancing mRNA science to transform medicine. Work with exceptional global teams on a broad pipeline and build a career that makes a real difference for patients.

Moderna is strengthening its international business services hub in Warsaw, supporting our growing global operations. We welcome professionals ready to help advance our mission and shape the future of mRNA medicines.

This is an opportunity to sit at the operational center of Medical Affairs across Europe and the Middle East, connecting Global, Regional, and Country teams and turning Medical strategy into disciplined, measurable execution.

Working closely with Europe & Middle East Medical leadership and Global Medical Affairs Operations, you will be a key connector across Medical, Finance, Procurement, Legal, Compliance, Quality, Digital/Technology, Commercial Digital, and Country teams. While your primary accountability will be Europe and the Middle East, you will operate within a global model and contribute to shared capabilities, global initiatives, and cross-region coverage when needed.

• Coordinate regional Medical Affairs business reviews and planning activities, including planning cycles such as CSE and ungating requests, QBRs, regional meetings, communications, and action and decision tracking.

• Partner with Global Medical Affairs Operations and Commercial Digital to support adoption and operational processes for the Customer Engagement Platform / CRM, including analytics, dashboards, automation, AI-enabled tools, and other Medical Affairs platforms.

• Explore opportunities to get closer to Generative AI and emerging digital capabilities, identifying responsible applications that can improve Medical Affairs workflows, reporting, analytics, knowledge management, and operational decision-making.

• Identify and implement process improvements, remove operational friction, and support standardization and best-practice sharing across countries and regions.

• Partner with Legal, Compliance, Privacy, Quality, and Country teams to ensure Medical Affairs operations reflect applicable European and country requirements, including data privacy, transparency, industry codes, local policies, and relevant regulatory and compliance guidelines such as EMA and GDPR requirements.

• Bring strong business and financial acumen to a complex matrixed environment, balancing multiple priorities while building alignment across Global, Regional, and Country stakeholders.

• Apply your experience of Medical Affairs operations—including medical planning, Field Medical, insights and measurement, financial and resource management, governance, and compliance—to translate global strategy and processes into effective regional and local execution.

• Operate effectively within Moderna's global operating model, supporting shared processes and capabilities and contributing beyond the primary region when cross-region initiatives or coverage are required.
