The Role:
Joining Moderna offers the unique opportunity to be part of a pioneering team that's revolutionizing medicine through mRNA technology, with a diverse pipeline of development programs across various diseases.
As an employee, you'll be part of a continually growing organization, working alongside exceptional colleagues and strategic partners worldwide, contributing to global health initiatives.
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 within our international business services hub in Warsaw, Poland, a city renowned for its rich scientific and technological heritage. This hub provides critical functions, meeting the growing demand of Moderna’s global business operations. We're inviting professionals from around the world to join our mission and contribute to the future of mRNA medicines.
This Warsaw-based individual contributor role supports the strategic and day-to-day operational execution of Pharmacovigilance (PV) activities related to Moderna’s clinical trials and post-marketing case processing. Reporting to the Director, PV Operations – Global Quality Standards, the PV Operations Specialist will ensure the timely and compliant processing, triage, and quality control of Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs). The role acts as a key interface between clinical operations, safety scientists, data management, and external vendors, contributing directly to the global safety strategy.
This role requires hands-on knowledge of safety and clinical databases and offers a high-impact opportunity to contribute to Moderna’s operational excellence while engaging with global safety projects and advancing inspection readiness. A unique facet of this position is its proximity to next-generation tools and systems, including opportunities to align with the latest developments in automation and Generative AI to streamline PV operations and support continuous improvement initiatives.
Here’s What You’ll Do:
Your key responsibilities will be:
Support Moderna clinical trial start-up activities by developing and maintaining key safety documents, including Safety Management Plans, Safety Reporting Plans, and SAE Reconciliation Plans.
Provide input into safety and clinical database configuration for accurate ICSR handling.
Manage case intake workflows: triage, data entry, narrative writing, and quality control, ensuring alignment with global regulatory requirements.
Ensure complex or serious case elements are correctly escalated to appropriate teams.
Monitor safety data via Electronic Data Capture systems and perform query resolution with trial sites.
Create and maintain training content for case processing standards and ensure the PV team and vendors are aligned with current SOPs and processes.
Maintain high-quality documentation to support inspections and audits and participate in PV compliance readiness activities.
Your responsibilities will also include:
Act as PV Operations Lead on specific Moderna clinical protocols as needed.
Partner cross-functionally with Global Case Management Leads, Clinical Safety Scientists, Medical Review, Data Management, and third-party Vendors.
Contribute to SOP creation and ongoing updates, ensuring compliance with global regulatory expectations.
Participate in or lead global PV operational projects, expanding Moderna's operational capabilities.
Identify and drive continuous process improvement opportunities within the Global Case Management landscape.
Assist in training and mentoring new colleagues and vendors on case management processes and Moderna standards.
Support workload management and proactively take on additional responsibilities as assigned by Global PV leadership.
The key Moderna Mindsets you’ll need to succeed in the role:
“We digitize everywhere possible using the power of code to maximize our impact on patients.”
In this operations-focused role, you’ll be working closely with digital safety and clinical systems. Having a mindset to embrace automation, digital transformation, and even exploratory exposure to Generative AI will be critical as you look to streamline safety workflows and enhance global operational output.
“We obsess over learning. We don’t have to be the smartest; we have to learn the fastest.”
Pharmacovigilance is a constantly evolving space. This mindset is essential to ensure that you stay current with regulatory changes, safety innovations, and the evolving science of patient safety — all while helping Moderna maintain inspection readiness and quality excellence.
Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table:
University degree in Pharmacy/Medicine or other relevant life sciences discipline (Dentistry, Experimental Medicine, Microbiology, Veterinary, Biotechnology, Physiotherapy, Medical Biology, or similar).
At least 2-3 years of experience in drug safety/pharmacovigilance case processing.

Skilled at working effectively in a collaborative team environment where results are achieved through influence and incorporating multiple points of view.
Independently motivated, detail-oriented, and strong problem-solving ability.
Excellent organizational skills and demonstrated ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
