- Handling promptly deviations, change requests, and other relevant tasks to safeguard product quality and on-time release
- Reporting on and improving CMOs' key performance indicators

You can build relationships through trust and transparency and are able to communicate across cultures. You enjoy working proactively in a dynamic environment, where coordination and executing varied tasks on time is inspiring and motivating. Finally, you possess good communication skills and a structured approach that allow you to create high engagement from both internal and external stakeholders.
About the department
GCM DS Operations is responsible for the global network of DS CMOs in Novo Nordisk. We are currently handling 19 CMOs in operation, and the number is expected to grow heavily in the coming years. We are responsible for the daily operations, capacity utilisation, deliveries to downstream customers while ensuring quality standards are uncompromised.
In partnership with our stakeholders, we set the direction for future collaboration with the CMOs, including expansion, supply chain strategies, collaboration models, and quality oversight.
You will join a department of 14 (and still growing) highly dedicated and talented colleagues, where we have an informal and direct tone and where we value each other's differences.
