What is the difference between Development Analyst vs Financial Analyst?
| Aspect | Development Analyst |
|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Project development, program planning, and implementation |
| Required Skills | Project management, industry knowledge, data analysis |
| Work Environment | Corporate, nonprofit, or government agencies involved in development projects |
| Common Certifications | None specifically required, but certifications like PMP can be beneficial |
While Development Analysts focus on planning and executing development projects, Financial Analysts primarily analyze financial data to guide investment and budgeting decisions. Both roles require analytical skills and industry knowledge, but Development Analysts are more involved in project management and development initiatives, whereas Financial Analysts concentrate on financial performance and market analysis.

The Role:
Joining Moderna means advancing mRNA science to transform medicine. Work with exceptional global teams on a broad pipeline and build a career that makes a real difference for patients.
Moderna is strengthening its presence in Norwood, Massachusetts, a cornerstone of our manufacturing and operational excellence. Our Norwood campus translates mRNA science into scalable impact, supporting the global delivery of our medicines. We welcome talent ready to drive innovation and make a meaningful difference for patients worldwide.
In this role, you will lead bioassay development strategy for late-stage programs within the Potency Assurance function, ensuring cell-based assays are fit-for-purpose for clinical development, validation, and commercialization.
As a Director, you will operate at the intersection of product biology, analytical development, and quality, translating complex mechanisms of action into robust, scalable, and regulatory-aligned bioassays that enable global filings and commercial supply.
Working 100% onsite in Norwood as a strategic leader without initial direct reports, you will influence across functions while leveraging advanced digital tools and Generative AI to enhance assay strategy, data interpretation, and lifecycle management.
Here's What You'll Do:
Define and drive potency assay strategy for late-stage programs, aligning with product mechanism of action, CQA frameworks, and regulatory expectations
Lead development, qualification, validation, and lifecycle management strategies for cell-based bioassays supporting clinical and commercial products
Ensure bioassays are mechanistically relevant, connecting product biology to assay design, performance, and control strategies
Provide strategic leadership for CMC bioassay development, supporting IND/BLA submissions and commercial readiness
Interpret and apply global regulatory guidelines (e.g., ICH, FDA, EMA) to assay development and lifecycle activities
Support regulatory filings, health authority questions, and interactions related to bioassays
Partner cross-functionally with Quality, QC, and Analytical Sciences & Technology (AS&T) to enable method transfer, validation, and commercialization
Drive resolution of bioassay-related challenges, including investigations, deviations, and comparability assessments
Lead through influence across cross-functional teams, setting priorities aligned with program and organizational goals
Oversee potency deliverables across programs, translating technical challenges into risks and mitigation strategies
The key Moderna Mindsets you'll need to succeed in the role:
"We behave like owners. The solutions we're building go beyond any job description."
"We act with dynamic range, driving strategy and execution at the same time at every step."
Here's What You'll Need (Basic Qualifications)
Ph.D. (preferred) with 10 years of relevant industry experience, MS with 12 years of relevant industry experience, or BS with 15 years of relevant industry experience in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Immunology, Biological Engineering, or related field
Strong experience in bioassay development within a CMC environment, particularly for late-stage (Phase 2/3 or commercial) programs
This position is site-based, requiring you to be at Moderna's site full-time. This position is not eligible for remote work.
Here's What You'll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications)
Preferred experience with bioassay development for RNA and/or LNP-related products
Demonstrated expertise in cell-based potency assays for vaccine, rare disease, and/or oncology applications including development, qualification, validation, and lifecycle management
Deep understanding of regulatory expectations and guidelines (e.g. ICH, FDA, EMA) for bioassays supporting clinical and commercial products
Experience supporting regulatory submissions and health authority interactions
Proven ability to drive method transfer, validation, and commercialization readiness
Strong understanding of analytical control strategies, comparability, and assay lifecycle management
Demonstrated leadership experience managing teams and influencing cross-functional stakeholders
Excellent communication and strategic thinking skills, with the ability to connect scientific decisions to CMC and business impact
