Moderna is seeking an Associate Director to lead cybersecurity solutions for non-human identity (NHI) and endpoint controls. This technical leadership role involves building and managing a team of senior security engineers focused on AI identity governance and endpoint execution controls. The Associate Director will own the technical strategy, architecture, and roadmap for these areas, evaluate and deploy security platforms, and partner across teams to ensure safe operation of AI and automation at enterprise scale. Key responsibilities include designing credential lifecycle management, building the AI security control plane, and leading endpoint security initiatives.
The Role:
We are seeking an Associate Director to lead the design, selection, and implementation of enterprise cybersecurity solutions spanning non-human identity (NHI) and credential management — including agentic AI identities — and endpoint software execution and configuration controls across Windows and macOS. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: the Associate Director will grow and then lead a small team of senior security engineers covering NHI governance, endpoint execution control, and AI agentic discovery, and remains directly engaged in architecture decisions, vendor evaluations, and complex technical problem-solving alongside the team.
A core focus is building the AI security control plane — the identities, enforcement points, telemetry, and governance that make agentic AI and automation safe to operate at enterprise scale. The role defines reference architectures, selects and integrates security tooling, establishes credential and execution control lifecycle processes, and partners across Security, IT, and Engineering to deliver outcomes through direct reports, contingent workers, and professional services partners.
