• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to explore practical uses of automation, dashboards, and approved AI-enabled tools for document management, knowledge sharing, and process efficiency, helping summarize findings and recommendations.
• Gain exposure to approved Generative AI tools and help evaluate where they may support more efficient information access, knowledge sharing, documentation, and digital ways of working within appropriate Moderna frameworks.

• Support the drafting, formatting, and revision of standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions (WIs), and related controlled documents using established templates and guidance.
• Assist with quality control reviews of controlled documents for clarity, consistency, formatting, cross-references, and alignment with applicable document standards.
• Help maintain and enhance document trackers, action logs, dashboards, and project status reports to support controlled document development, digital visibility, and implementation.
• Assist with document lifecycle, training, and digital workflow activities in systems such as Veeva Quality, Smartsheet, and Microsoft 365 tools, as appropriate to assigned access and training.
• Support the organization and analysis of process documentation, training matrices, and related records to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Work closely with process, training, and cross-functional partners to support consistent execution and effective adoption of new or improved processes and digital tools across Development.
• Build practical experience working within a regulated, quality-focused clinical development environment while contributing to projects that improve how teams access information, manage documentation, and execute work.
