Are you passionate about leading talented teams to deliver innovative solutions? Are you excited about shaping the future of manufacturing processes on a global scale? Do you enjoy mentoring and developing high-performing teams? Do you want to make a meaningful impact at a company that is changing lives worldwide?

If you answered yes, this is your opportunity to step into an exciting leadership role Apply today to take your career to the next level.

The position
As Manager for Technical team, you will be responsible for currently 12 dedicated employees with strong professional experience whose main task is to execute all activities from ordering equipment at Danish and international equipment manufacturers to handover to the manufacturing organisations in a global CMO network.

Your main responsibilities will be to ensure:

  1. Employee and team motivation and engagement through coaching and sparring
  2. Development of skills and training of employees
  3. Setting and implementing technical and strategic direction for the team
  4. Effective collaboration with internal and external stakeholders
  5. Timely execution of equipment commissioning projects
  6. Effective and data-driven problem solving, with the application of cLEAN principles

In your role as Manager, you will become part of the department’s leadership team of currently 4 leaders, a department assistant, and the department head. We oversee and deliver to a large project portfolio and play an active role in many different projects with high technical complexity and involvement with many internal and external stakeholders.

This position offers a unique opportunity for personal and professional development as you apply and refine your management skills in a device area of significant business importance.

Qualifications
As a manager you are motivated by creating high team commitment and strong collaborative environments - both internally in your team, across the organization, and towards external stakeholders.

You work closely with your team to raise the professional level and ensure a culture that supports continuous improvement and optimizing ways of working.

Your quality mindset and business sense are well-developed, and you are a team player. You navigate both short-term challenges and long-term organizational development adeptly. You thrive in a fast-paced environment.

To succeed in this position, you should meet these main qualifications:

  1. At least 3 years of management experience
  2. A degree in Engineering (e.g. mechanical/production), Science, or another relevant field
  3. Experience with automated manufacturing equipment is a clear advantage
  4. Experience in the pharmaceutical or medical device industry is a plus and so is knowledge of operation of automated production equipment and validation
  5. Fluent in English, both in speaking and writing, and proficient in Danish, which is a plus

As your team members often travel to equipment suppliers and production sites, you must have a strong ability to maintain a well-connected and collaborating team although the full team will only meet physically now and then.

You should expect 10-20 days of travel a year.

About the department
You will join the department Component Capacity Expansion, part of Finished Products Manufacturing, Science and Technology (FPMSAT) in Hillerød, Denmark. We are currently 60+ highly motivated colleagues, working in 5 teams. The department, including this team, will expand further in the future.

We are responsible for technical sourcing and commissioning of new moulding equipment for plastic components in the global network of Equipment Suppliers and Contract Manufactures to ensure production capacity expansion of plastic components across device platforms.

We are dedicated to delivering strong results that add to the success of Novo Nordisk by ensuring high quality components at a competitive cost for our customers within injection devices.

We share a relaxed tone, and we are proud to never compromise on quality or safety.

Working at Novo Nordisk
At Novo Nordisk, your skills and dedication help us change lives for the better. In exchange, we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinarily talented personnel and allow you to benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.
