The Role
Moderna is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead and coordinate cybersecurity remediation initiatives across the organization. We’re looking for someone who brings integrity, sound judgment, strong relationship-building skills, and cybersecurity expertise, and who can partner effectively across teams to move complex work forward.
In this role, you will help lead the end-to-end remediation of security findings generated through scans, assessments, audits, incident reviews, investigations, and continuous monitoring. You will bring thoughtful program management, collaboration, and clear communication to a complex, cross-functional environment where responsiveness, quality, and partnership all matter.
Here's What You'll Be Doing
Program Ownership
- Lead and coordinate the intake, prioritization, and execution of cybersecurity remediation programs using a structured, data-driven, and risk-based approach.
- Responsible for end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent remediation workstreams across Moderna technology and business teams, from identification through validation and closure.
- Establish and manage a centralized remediation operating model, including governance, prioritization frameworks, SLAs, escalation paths, and execution tracking.
- Define and monitor program metrics, risks, and trends to drive accountability, decisions, and continuous improvement.
Risk and Remediation Management
- Translate findings from vulnerability scans, penetration tests, risk assessments, incidents, audits, and investigations into actionable remediation plans.
- Partner with teams to move remediation items through verification and closure, including management of exceptions and risk acceptance with appropriate sign-off.
- Own the consolidated findings registry, maintaining a single authoritative view of vulnerabilities, risks, audit findings, post-incident action items, and assessment recommendations.
- Lead executive- and board-level reporting on remediation posture, metrics, and systemic trends, translating technical risk into business-relevant language.
- Identify recurring issues and drive longer-term improvements that strengthen cybersecurity practices and reduce future risk.
Partner Engagement and Influence
- Build strong relationships across security, engineering, and business teams to create alignment, navigate blockers, and influence prioritization in a highly matrixed environment.
- Provide clear, concise, and executive-ready communications on program status, risks, decisions, and tradeoffs.
- Partner with leaders to strengthen secure engineering and operational practices across the organization.
- Actively contribute to creating a more inclusive culture and environment at Moderna; endorse, create, and maintain antiracist policies and processes.
Here’s What You’ll Need (Basic Qualifications)
- Experience: 8+ years in Technical Program Management, Cybersecurity Program Management, or similar roles.
- Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional remediation programs in cybersecurity, infrastructure, or enterprise IT environments.
- Strong understanding of cybersecurity domains such as vulnerability management, incident response, identity, cloud security, and application security.
- Experience working with findings from audits, risk assessments, penetration tests, and security incidents.
- Strong stakeholder partnership and influencing skills in highly matrixed organizations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level communication.
- Ability to define metrics, track progress, and use data to support clear and informed decision-making.
- Strong listening skills, sound judgment, and a proactive approach to feedback and problem-solving.
Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications)
- Experience with GxP environments and regulatory requirements.
- Familiarity with vulnerability management platforms, GRC tools, and security tracking/reporting systems.
- Experience with post-incident review processes, including root cause analysis (RCA), CAPA management, and lessons-learned programs.
- Experience implementing or scaling enterprise remediation or risk management programs.
- Background in infrastructure, cloud, or security engineering.
- Knowledge of security frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, CIS).
- Experience driving operational maturity improvements (process, tooling, governance).
- Strong sense of ownership and urgency, with the ability to balance risk, timely execution, and business priorities.
- Influential, inclusive, and trusted partner with a collaborative mindset.
