Answer:
The concepts of hero change over time, places, and cultures. I'd say they are cultural and social constructs. The word originally denotes a person with physical valor and courage as of in ancient Greek mythology, yet gradually more meanings were attached to it. There are probably some universal traits attached to 'hero' shared by different cultures today, such as courage, altruism... perhaps everyone would agree Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King was a hero in contemporary western societies.
Steve Jobs can be considered being a hero figure. A kind of hero of/with an organization in his back. (ofc regarding his time being alive)
Edward Snowden or Julian Assange can be considered heros.
However: with "modern" you ask for a hero in modern life of western civilization?
