Moller practiced law until 1927, after which he devoted himself to agriculture, operating the Renaico estate together with his brothers until 1938.[4]

A member of the Radical Party of Chile, Moller first entered the cabinet during the second administration of Liberal president Arturo Alessandri. On 22 October 1936, he was appointed Minister of Agriculture, serving until 25 May 1937.[3]

In 1946, during the vice-presidency of Alfredo Duhalde Vásquez, Moller was appointed Minister of Justice on 3 February. He remained in that office under Vice President Vicente Merino Bielich until 6 September 1946. During Merino Bielich's vice-presidency, he also served simultaneously as acting Minister of the Interior from 3 to 13 August 1946.[3]

During the administration of President Gabriel González Videla, Moller was appointed Minister of Agriculture for a third time, serving from 27 February 1950 to 3 April 1952.[3]
