As Future-Readiness Learning Lead, you will design, develop, and deliver the learning content that equips every Moderna employee with future-critical capabilities: AI and data fluency, change agility, learning agility, problem-solving, and beyond. You will be an individual contributor who partners closely with business leaders, subject-matter experts, vendors, and the broader HR organization to create and curate high-impact, scalable learning assets across digital and live modalities.

Here’s What You’ll Do

• Needs Analysis: Conduct rapid, data-driven needs assessments to prioritize learning and talent programs that close the most critical skill gaps.

• Instructional Design & Curation: Create and curate learning paths, micro-learning nuggets, and interactive resources that blend self-paced, virtual, and live experiences.

• Delivery & Facilitation: Launch and facilitate cohorts, webinars, and communities of practice; coach SMEs to deliver engaging sessions.

• Measurement & Continuous Improvement: Define success metrics, analyze usage and impact data, and iterate content based on learner feedback and business outcomes.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with HRBPs and enterprise program owners to embed learning resources into talent processes and employees’ day-to-day lives.

• Vendor & Budget Management: Manage external content partners and production vendors; track spend against budget and value delivered.

• Thought Leadership: Evangelize future-readiness best practices inside and outside Moderna through demos, case studies, and conference presentations.

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

• 10+ years’ progressive experience in HR, with a track record of diagnosing capability gaps and translating business needs into people solutions.

• Proven program-design skills—able to translate business needs into solutions and delivery plans.

• End-to-end program or project leadership (design, launch, measurement) across multiple functions or geographies.

• Familiarity with core learning & development concepts (e.g., 70-20-10) and the curiosity to build deeper expertise quickly—leveraging external vendors, digital platforms, and AI tools where appropriate.

• Data fluency and storytelling ability to interpret talent metrics, evaluate program impact, and present findings clearly.

• Strong planning, communication, and stakeholder-management skills; able to juggle competing deadlines without direct reports.

• Consultative influence skills—trusted adviser to senior leaders; able to frame options, gain alignment, and drive action in a matrix environment.

• Comfort working in an agile, fast-evolving context and pivoting priorities when needed.

• Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent combination of education and experience

Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience facilitating meetings or programs.

• Exposure to learning technologies, coaching platforms, or 360° feedback tools—and enthusiasm for experimenting with AI-enabled solutions.

• Success scaling global or enterprise-wide HR initiatives and adapting them for specific audiences.

• Background in biopharma, life sciences, or another highly regulated, innovation-driven industry.

• A desire to make an impact as part of a high-growth, transformational company that is Bold, Relentless, Curious, and Collaborative.
