• Establish a strategic partnership with the Digital (IT) team to drive the creation of a fully integrated data platform, centralizing and aligning data sets across Moderna and CRO partners and setting a vision for data infrastructure that underpins robust reporting and analytics.

• Collaborate closely with the Clinical Operations, Program Management, R&D Finance to ensure fiscal discipline across study, program and portfolio levels and the adherence to corporate financial targets.

• Serve as an extended member of the PPM LT, shaping organizational strategy and driving enterprise-wide initiatives that enhance Moderna's market position and operational excellence.

• Provide executive leadership to a high-performing team tasked with the development and refinement of the Portfolio Reporting & Analytics function.

• Cultivate influential relationships with executive and functional leaders to align Moderna’s portfolio strategy with organizational objectives, proactively identifying and mitigating risks, and addressing strategic challenges.

Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table:
