Moderna's commitment to advancing the technological frontier of mRNA medicines ensures a challenging and rewarding career experience, with the potential to make a significant impact on patients' lives worldwide.

Moderna is solidifying its presence in London, a global hub for scientific research and innovation. Our London office focuses on commercial operations, ensuring the delivery of our revolutionary products to the UK market.

• Contribute to the definition and improvement of the end-to-end global labeling process within the regulatory function.
  
  

The key Moderna Mindsets you’ll need to succeed in the role:

• We question convention because proven models don’t always fuel the future. In this role, you'll be challenged to innovate beyond traditional labeling strategies, especially as you navigate complex, multi-region regulations. You'll be expected to offer bold, data-informed solutions that move faster than standard industry timelines.
• We digitize everywhere possible using the power of code to maximize our impact on patients. You will be well positioned to explore and implement digital tooling to optimize labeling operations, and may contribute to early-stage exploration of Generative AI in labeling workflows and content generation, contributing to broader automation goals.
