• Monitor and drive adherence to global CTA processes, timelines, and regulatory commitments.

• Serve as Moderna’s regulatory subject matter expert for the United Kingdom clinical trial environment.

• Provide strategic guidance on MHRA expectations, UK Clinical Trial Application requirements, and evolving UK clinical trial regulations.

• Support the planning, execution, maintenance, and lifecycle management of clinical trial activities within the United Kingdom.

• Maintain awareness of emerging regulatory developments, including the new UK Clinical Trials legislation and the evolving UK clinical research landscape, translating changes into actionable regulatory strategies.

• Collaborate across regulatory, clinical, quality, and operational teams to proactively address regulatory risks and enable efficient study execution.

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen regulatory operations through digitization, process optimization, and innovative technologies, including AI-enabled approaches where appropriate.

The key Moderna Mindsets you’ll need to succeed in the role:
