Product Owner for VaultRIM

Bring products faster to patients

Do you want to be at the forefront of developing the submission, registration and publishing process and system? Do you want to drive innovation and digitalisation in pharma? 

Then join us as Product Owner for our VaultRIM (Regulatory Information Management) solution. 
 
About the product
VaultRIM is our central, unified platform for managing submissions to health agencies & product registrations of approved submissions for all Novo Nordisk products globally. VaultRIM is powered by Veeva System, a leading cloud-based software provider for the global life sciences industry. With more than 7.000 users the solution is highly business critical and is a direct enabler to make sure life saving medical products and innovation is made available to patients. VaultRIM  is a vital part of enabling our digital transformation journey, with a huge potential to bring medical innovations faster to patients while enabling efficiencies and smooth collaboration across the value chain. 

The position
You will be leading a strong and skilled agile delivery team, with full responsibility for DevOps. No one wins alone and your key to success is to leverage your team and colleagues across the Agile Release Train and extended organization to turn the product vision and roadmap into action. 

Your responsibilities will include the following:

• Master DevOps, i.e. play the balancing act of continuously and efficiently operating the product (keeping the wheels spinning) while developing the product in line with product strategy and roadmap, constantly adapting emerging business needs and priorities (preparing for the future).
• Evaluate and prioritise business opportunities vs. must-do compliance improvements vs. technical debt and technical enablers.
• Stay focused to achieve desired business outcomes and long-term strategy, while being ready to rapidly adapt to unforeseen challenges and impediments. 
• Drive situational communication, i.e. act as a catalyst connecting all stakeholders engaged in the product, ranging from technical to scientific subject-matter-experts and leaders across all levels. Transform complex matters into simple and compelling storylines, and situationally articulate messages with the receiver as point of departure. 
• Engage and empower the team – in close collaboration with Scrum Master – to achieve optimal velocity, predictability and impact.
• In collaboration with Scrum Master and team, maximise outcomes of agile events and ceremonies, e.g. PI planning, Iteration planning, demo and retrospective. 

   
  Qualifications

  To be successful in this role, you need the following:

  • Strong understanding of user-centric digital product development
  • Proven informal leadership experience of driving sustainable change in cross-functional, multi-cultural and cross-geographical environment
  • +2 years’ experience in Agile methodologies, preferably certified as PO within SAFe
  • University degree within Science, Engineering and/or Business
  • Be fluent in English, both written and spoken
  • Experience working with Regulatory processes or related in the pharma domain is a plus, but not a pre-requisite.

     

    On a personal level, you need to inspire passion and create a feeling of ownership for people you work with. You see the big picture and can turn the strategic priorities into tangible direction for the team. You can set clear direction, prioritise, and communicate a compelling purpose and vision with passion and urgency on all levels of the organisation.
