Sr. Technical Program Manager, Cybersecurity Remediation

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.
