Senior Procurement Manager within Engineering

4 weeks ago


Bagsværd, Denmark Novo Nordisk AS - Nn1 Full time
The position As our new Senior Procurement Manager, you will be part of a team who advises investments projects both in the early phases and throughout execution on procurement, execution models, contractual setup, negotiation, and engineering challenges within engineering services, construction, and IT/Automatization. This is done in close collaboration with colleagues in the capex projects, internal process groups and our global supplier base.

Your focus area will be threefold:

Commercial activities :

managing the commercial activities in several smaller, medium, and major capex projects in Denmark as well as international sites.

To begin with this includes understanding and aligning the needs our colleagues have in the individual capex projects.

Based on that you will advise on the optimal engineering setup with an external engineering partner, prepare tender material, clarify, and evaluate options from different engineering partners, agree the commercial terms with them, prepare a contract and eventually follow up with the project and the supplier throughout the execution of the project.


Supplier relationship :
You will further foster close relationships with suppliers within the field of engineering.

Meaning you be the bridge between our colleagues in the capex projects in Novo Nordisk and the suppliers on the other side.

On a continuous basis you will evaluate the performance of your supplier base in the projects, which you support, and give input to the Engineering category management to ensure alignment of competencies needed match with the portfolio of engineering suppliers.


Stakeholder management :

You will interact closely with key cross-functional Novo Nordisk stakeholders to ensure the right approach for sourcing of engineering services compared to current and future needs.

This means, ensuring we have the best technology available, always fulfilling high quality standards, reducing risks, minimising our environmental footprint, and having competitive commercial terms.

Something which can only be achieved through good relationships and finding solutions which benefit all parties.

Sounds interesting? Then keep on reading how a day could look like:

You start the day by reading an e-mail from a project owner that needs your support to identify an engineering partner for a capex project that just has just been approved to proceed into conceptual design.

She wants to set up a meeting to introduce you to the project and discuss the engineering partner possibilities and execution strategy.

One of the focus areas of the project is to do a lifecycle analysis and keep the footprint of the building as low as possible.

Afterwards it is time for the daily team touch point where you have a power break session with stretching exercises.

Besides moving your body, you look very much forward to catching up with your colleagues.

You mention the new project that you just heard about this morning and have a chat with your colleagues about how we reduce our environmental footprint in the capex projects.

You get plenty of good input from more senior and more junior colleagues on the topic. Thereafter you have a meeting with an engineering supplier regarding another project where you are in the final negotiations.

You have prepared benchmarks for comparable projects within cost, time and environmental sustainability which all are key for Novo Nordisk.

You end your day with joining one of the experienced category managers to one of their supplier meetings to learn how they drive the continuous dialogue on strategic collaborations with regards to new technologies and automatization.

For that you are also visiting one of the supplier's productions sites a little outside of the Copenhagen area. About the department Investment | Engineering & Sourcing (IES) is part of the Product Supply organisation.

Product Supply is a modern technology organisation that proactively drives the purpose of Novo Nordisk and delivers the highest quality to patients in a sustainable and efficient way.

This situation gives a fantastic opportunity to strengthen even more the contributions we are delivering as well as driving change through the investment projects in line with the company aspirations.

In your daily work you will have the opportunity to learn and grow through sparring from senior experts in our department and experienced project managers in the capex projects.

Working at Novo Nordisk At Novo Nordisk, your skills, dedication, and ambition help us change lives for the better.

In exchange, we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.
