Sr. Manager, Threat Management, Executive Protection

The Role

Moderna is seeking a mission-driven, high-integrity professional to lead threat management and executive protection initiatives. The ideal candidate is a former federal agent, LEOSA-qualified, with a proven track record conducting complex, high-stakes investigations involving technical evidence such as metadata, digital logs, and access patterns.

We are especially interested in candidates with insider threat or internal misconduct experience, ideally from a role within a federal agency’s Office of Inspector General (OIG). In addition to strong investigative acumen, the successful candidate will bring proficiency in tools like Excel and a curiosity for leveraging AI to improve investigative workflows, scale impact, and unlock new capabilities.

This role combines strategic oversight with hands-on investigative work and will partner across Legal, HR, Privacy, and Digital teams to protect Moderna’s people, data, and mission.

Here’s What You’ll Do

• Lead internal investigations related to insider threats, misconduct, data exfiltration, and other risk behaviors—especially those involving technical evidence.
• Support executive protection efforts through threat assessments, intelligence gathering, and proactive mitigation strategies.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret structured and unstructured data (e.g., metadata, system logs, behavioral indicators) to inform investigative findings.
• Collaborate closely with Legal, Privacy, HR, and technical teams to ensure effective and legally sound investigations.
• Maintain confidentiality, precision, and accountability in all aspects of case management.
• Continuously improve investigative procedures and adopt new technologies to enhance the Threat Management program.
• Develop and test creative, AI-enabled solutions for prioritization, evidence analysis, and reporting.
• Build strong working relationships with law enforcement and other external partners.

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

• 7+ years of experience in law enforcement or security investigations.
• Former federal agent status and LEOSA-qualified (required).
• Strong investigative experience, particularly with technical, digital, or insider risk matters.
• Proven ability to work with metadata, digital logs, and other forensic data.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and ability to use data to support analytical conclusions.
• Experience coordinating investigations across multiple stakeholders and disciplines.
• Excellent judgment, communication skills, and discretion with sensitive issues.

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

• Prior service within a federal Office of Inspector General (OIG) or equivalent internal affairs unit (preferred).
• Familiarity with executive protection principles, including threat assessments and protective intelligence.
• Comfort operating in dynamic, ambiguous environments with limited precedent.
• Demonstrated curiosity and initiative in applying AI/ML or other emerging technologies to investigative problems.
• A desire to make an impact in a fast-paced, high-growth company rooted in values of Boldness, Relentlessness, Curiosity, and Collaboration.
