Are you a project manager experienced in Lean methodologies, process optimization, and continuous improvement? Do you have a passion for addressing complex business challenges that create a significant impact?

We invite you to play a crucial role in shaping and designing how we incorporate operational and training excellence into our manufacturing processes. If you enjoy collaborating with team members on the shop floor to execute improvement projects and elevate innovative solutions to a global standard, we have a unique opportunity for you.

We are seeking two project managers at varying experience levels (senior and intermediate profiles) to join our team. Apply now to embark on a life-changing career with us.

The position
As a project manager within our unit at Novo Nordisk, you will lead transformative improvement projects in both support functions and manufacturing areas across PSQIT. You will be responsible for optimizing our training system standard, inspired by Training within Industry (TWI), to enhance our ability to deliver products to patients. Your daily tasks will involve collaborating with business leaders to identify cases, mobilizing stakeholders, and applying your analytical and lean skills to design improved training standards. You will work closely with shop floor employees to understand processes and ensure that changes are implemented and sustained. Each project will be customized to meet specific business needs, and you will test project outcomes to drive further enhancements. Validation of solutions will be done in collaboration with key stakeholders, and you will update training standards to facilitate upskilling within the organization. Your work may take you to various Novo Nordisk sites, both in Denmark and internationally.

Main tasks include:

  • Analyse, standardize, redesign, implement world-class operational excellence solutions to highly complex problems within training, human performance, and modern technologies across PSQIT.
  • Collaborate with lean specialists, external consultants and managers across PSQIT ensuring that the global training and improvement process is stable and effective.
  • Act as standard owner of the training excellence system and subject matter expert for standards and training across PSQIT.
  • Develop and improve the toolbox that combines the Optimisation & Execution units expertise and best practice.
  • Upskill, coach, and provide feedback to leaders, project managers and training professionals in the global training organization.

You will report to the Director of the Optimisation & Execution unit responsible for developing the training standard across PSQIT. The department is organized under Training & Execution in P&O in PSQIT.

Qualification
To thrive in this role, candidates should possess:

  • A Master's degree in Business Management, Operations Management, Organisational Psychology or related.
  • 3-5+ years of experience in Lean Transformation working in fields such as Process Improvement, Consulting, Strategy Deployment or Change Management.
  • Strong project management toolbox and potential previous experience in consultancy. Passion for clear communication and comfort with exposure to senior leaders.
  • Expertise in coaching and workshop facilitation, preferably with hands-on experience coaching managers in lean leadership or implementing Training Within Industry (TWI).
  • A strong track record successfully managing complex projects and coordinating resources through informal lines of reporting.
  • Experience working within pharma/highly regulated environments.
  • Fluency in both written and verbal English and Danish.

Personally, you are an outgoing self-driven individual who brings great energy and a can-do attitude to any situation. You enjoy taking up challenges and are motivated by ambitious targets. You thrive in a fast-paced environment where tasks and priorities can change with business needs. You naturally build trust with your stakeholders, and you like to drive and execute a variety of optimisation projects in any domain, whether it is Training, HR, Quality or Production processes. You have a structured approach to project management and insist on anchoring solutions to ensure sustainability of your implementation.

About The Department
You will join a team of experienced project managers and be part of driving an ambitious change journey towards globally optimizing the way we enable operational excellence and improve human performance. Optimisation & Execution is a newly established team who wants to be known for our ability to support the line with fast and effective execution of projects through scaling of best practices, not leaving stakeholders before they are satisfied, business impact has been proven, and solutions are sustainable. You will be a part of amazing and talented colleagues with various backgrounds who work closely together to deliver on our business goals. We promise you a social work environment where there is a high level of engagement and focus on individual and shared development.
