Moderna Therapeutics

The Role

This is a summer internship opportunity with Moderna Global Drug Product Operations team from June to August 2026. Applicants must be available for the entire duration of the internship. Start date will be June 1, 2026.

Moderna’s Global Drug Product (DP) Operations is looking for top talent in the Strategic Operations team to design and pilot a standardized Supply Risk Management framework for Drug Product (DP) Operations. This project will cover both internal manufacturing sites and external Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), with the goal of identifying, assessing, mitigating, and governing a broad range of risks that can have an impact on our ability to deliver mRNA medicines to patients.

The DP Supply Risk Management framework will play a key role within Manufacturing Strategy, becoming a central piece in our efforts to ensure Production Continuity and Resiliency. The internship offers a unique opportunity to work in a highly cross-functional set-up and contribute to enterprise-level processes while gaining hands-on experience with Moderna’s manufacturing network, performance management, continuous improvement, and PMO governance.

Here’s What You’ll Do

• Design and pilot a cross-functional Supply Risk Management Framework for Global DP Operations, including risk categories, risk evaluation criteria, scoring methods, and governance mechanisms.
• Develop a Risk Register template with both Site/CMO-level and consolidated network views.
• Conduct the first network-wide risk assessment, piloted across selected sites and CMOs.
• Together with the respective Operations Leaders and cross-functional team members, build a Mitigation Action Plan with assigned owners, timelines, due dates, and expected impact.
• Create a Governance Framework (dashboard, heat map, cadence of reviews, escalation path) to oversee mitigation actions and monitor risks.
• Ensure the framework seamlessly integrates with enterprise processes such as Quality Management Review (QMR), Supply Chain Management processes, CMC Business Continuity, HS&E policies, Procurement policies and standards and CMO Management.
• Present findings and recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders and the Global DP Operations Leadership Team.

Here’s What You’ll Need (Basic Qualifications)
