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 committed to enhancing Australia's biotech landscape through a long-term partnership that focuses on strengthening pandemic resilience. Our Melbourne-based large-scale mRNA vaccine manufacturing facility will be a cornerstone in Australia's ability to respond to future health threats efficiently. This collaboration not only brings cutting-edge medical technology to the forefront but also emphasizes job creation and local talent development. We're inviting visionary professionals to be part of this transformative journey, making a tangible impact on global health security.

In this lab-based position reporting to the Associate Director of Quality Control, you will play a key role in performing cGMP QC testing to support Chemistry, Release, and Stability functions. As a QC Analyst, you will also support global GMP stability programs through a variety of operational and technical activities, including sample set downs, pulls, shipments, data trending and statistical analysis. You will work in full compliance with cGMP standards, FDA, EU, and ICH regulations while contributing to method transfers and ongoing method qualification projects. This role is hands-on, detail-driven, and situated at the intersection of operational execution and scientific rigor—ideal for someone ready to help scale and shape our QC capabilities. This is an individual contributor position based at our Melbourne Resilience site.

Here’s What You’ll Do:

Your key responsibilities will be:

Perform GMP QC Chemistry methods including HPLC, UPLC, UV, and Particle Analysis via Dynamic Light Scattering
Execute HPLC (AEX) and NaOH plate reader-based assays to support process stat testing
Support method transfer projects internally and externally in collaboration with Analytical Sciences & Technology (AS&T) teams
Execute general lab operational tasks aligned with cGMP, including reagent preparation, equipment maintenance, and good documentation practices
Provide audit support for both internal and regulatory inspections
Create, review, and revise SOPs, protocols, and reports aligned with evolving quality standards and compliance frameworks

Your responsibilities will also include:

Support all stability program operations: perform sample set downs, pulls, inventory checks, labeling, and data entry in LIMS and inventory systems
Maintain and trend stability data using statistical analysis; produce stability tables, charts, protocols, and final reports
Troubleshoot assay methods and lab equipment as needed
Author or contribute to quality system documentation such as investigations, deviations, CAPAs, and change controls
Assist in the continued optimization of stability and QC workflows, ensuring seamless compliance and operational readiness

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

We obsess over learning. We don’t have to be the smartest—we have to learn the fastest.
In a technically evolving environment like Moderna’s, your success in this QC role hinges on your ability to rapidly absorb new testing technologies, regulatory standards, and evolving data workflows. Your mindset must be tuned to constant growth and curiosity.
We digitize everywhere possible using the power of code to maximize our impact on patients.
This role engages heavily with digital platforms like LIMS for sample tracking, inventory control, and data analysis. Embracing digital workflows and analytical tools is key to ensuring speed, precision, and scalability in QC operations.

Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table:

BSc in a relevant scientific discipline (Chemistry preferred) with 5 years Quality Control experience in a cGMP organization with a focus in Analytical Chemistry
Hands on experience with analytical chemistry techniques including, but not limited to, HPLC, UPLC, particle analysis and plate reader-based assays.
Working knowledge of relevant and current FDA, EU, ICH guidelines and regulations preferred.
Working experience in a GMP environment.
Ability to collaborate effectively in a dynamic, cross-functional matrix environment.
Ability to efficiently prioritize and complete multiple projects and tasks in a fast-paced environment.
Proven ability to conduct investigations.
This position is site-based, requiring you to be at Moderna’s site full-time. This position is not eligible for remote work.
As part of Moderna’s commitment to workplace health and safety, this role may be subject to pre-employment and periodic medical assessments, in line with relevant legal and operational requirements.
