The Role

Moderna is seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead validation strategy and execution for the digital platform supporting individualized neoantigen therapy (INT). This platform spans orchestration, scheduling, and integration systems that enable commercial manufacturing across Merck and Moderna for personalized therapies.

In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that digital systems are designed to meet Computer System Validation (CSV) expectations from the outset, not just tested after the fact. You will serve as the delivery lead for validation across key systems, ensuring they are inspection-ready for regulatory milestones such as BLA (Q1 2026) and First Market Release (H1 2027). This position requires strong partnership across QA, Regulatory, Digital, and Manufacturing teams, and offers the opportunity to shape validation practices for one of the most complex and meaningful spaces in biotechnology.

Here's What You’ll Do

• Lead CSV planning and execution across a suite of digital capabilities, including mINT Engine, Scheduler, Control Tower, and integrations with SAP, MES, and LIMS
• Partner with Digital and Engineering teams to embed validation requirements early into system design and architecture, ensuring systems are built to pass CSV with confidence
• Actively participate in technical and architecture discussions to de-risk validation challenges and promote audit-readiness throughout the development lifecycle
• Develop and maintain validation deliverables (plans, risk assessments, traceability, protocols, reports) in alignment with GxP regulations (21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11)
• Work closely with QA and Regulatory to ensure all validation artifacts support regulatory submissions and inspection readiness
• Collaborate with system integrators and service providers to drive accountability and timely execution of validation milestones
• Represent Digital in regulatory inspections, internal audits, and cross-functional forums related to validation readiness
• Contribute to the definition and continuous improvement of Moderna’s validation strategy for digital platforms in regulated manufacturing environments

Here’s What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Life Sciences, or a related field
• 8+ years of experience in technical program management with strong emphasis on Computer System Validation in regulated environments
• Deep knowledge of GxP, validation lifecycle, and regulatory frameworks for digital systems in pharma or biotech
• Proven experience leading validation for complex, integrated digital ecosystems supporting manufacturing or quality operations
• Ability to drive cross-functional alignment and communicate clearly across technical, QA, and business stakeholders

Here’s What You’ll Bring To The Table

• Experience supporting validation in the context of personalized medicine, advanced therapies
• Familiarity with orchestration platforms, manufacturing execution systems, and data integration tools (e.g., Boomi, SAP, MES, LIMS)
• Working knowledge of Agile methodologies and DevOps practices in a validated environment
• Strategic mindset with the ability to dive deep into delivery details and validation dependencies
