You communicate frequently, timely, and in a structured manner, effectively conveying direction and project plans to teams and stakeholders. Your ability to network, collaborate, influence and work at a high professional level is crucial for success in this role.

About the Department

You can look forward to working within the M3 project, Novo Nordisk’s largest investment project to date. The project is located in Kalundborg, Denmark, where we design and build future API facilities as multi-product facilities. The M3 team is a diverse group of approximately 300 talented colleagues from over 30 different national backgrounds. Joining this fast-growing organization, you will connect with a network of skilled professionals from across the organization, sharing knowledge about best practices and receiving input for future plans and solutions. We offer thorough onboarding and training in the Novo Nordisk standards to help you get started.

PS API Expansions is a newly established and growing area with the responsibility to design, plan and build all major API Expansions projects across Novo Nordisk to serve the needs of millions of patients.
