You will join a dynamic country organization that is growing fast and blazing trails, and you will bring a relentless drive for excellence, how to shape the market and how to win with our customers.

The Health Partnership Lead will work closely on a day-to-day basis with colleagues across the commercial organization to help establish product strategies, position Moderna and our products, engage various groups of stakeholders and take responsibility for implementing omnichannel tactics to drive access, growth, market impact and profitable sales.

  • Build and maintain a working understanding of the competitive landscape for our key products (COVID vaccines currently, RSV and further vaccines and therapeutics in development) and the policy environment around these products. The fast-moving markets will require a high degree of adaptability and trust-building with key stakeholders and accounts.

• Execute on key commercial projects

  • Be a key player in building Modernas Vaccines commercial organization, in partnership with a newly forming team that will blaze trails in brand new markets and grow Moderna at an accelerated pace.

Moderna maintains alliances with a broad range of domestic and overseas government and commercial collaborators, which has allowed for the pursuit of both groundbreaking science and rapid scaling of manufacturing. Most recently, Moderna's capabilities have come together to allow the authorized use and approval of one of the earliest and most effective vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic.
