Project Manager for Compliance and Process Improvement Projects

Category: Project Management & Agile

Location: Bagsværd, Capital Region of Denmark, DK

Do you have project management experience in a pharmaceutical setting or with implementing requirements for materials or products? Are you goal-oriented, eager to enhance your project execution skills, and driven to lead initiatives that scale our global supply chain and material portfolio for the future?
If you're passionate about transforming quality requirements into practical solutions that meet the needs of patients and operational workflows, we invite you to join Material Manufacturing Development (Mat. ManDev) – RAW. Take the next step in your career and apply today

The position
As Project Manager, your primary role entails owning and managing projects from inception to execution. You will focus on:

  • Ensuring proper implementation of compliance projects captured from industry trends, new requirements or expectations from regulators.
  • Driving process improvement projects within the department.

You can anticipate being involved in projects related to GMP, quality improvements, authority requirements but also improvements needed for scaling up our organization.
Some of your key tasks include:

  • Executing compliance- and improvement projects within Raw Materials, Excipients, Process aids, and Single-Use Systems.
  • Steering project teams through all project phases, establishing and overseeing project schedules, along with offering guidance and motivation.
  • Promoting inter-team coordination, communicating with stakeholders, and adapting to changing project needs.
  • Scoping and defining new initiatives and process improvements with assistance from the professionals in the department.

You will work closely with GMP material scientists and other project managers supporting the department, but your activities will also include communicating across all levels and business areas in the organization.

Qualifications
To be considered for this role, we imagine you:

  • Hold a master's degree in chemistry, Engineering, or another relevant field within the natural sciences, or alternatively possess a master's diploma or higher in a different field but bring project management experience within the industry.
  • Demonstrate practical project management expertise, either as a project manager or as an individual contributor/specialist with strong project management skills.
  • Showcase a successful track record of effectively managing projects and workstreams.
  • Display fluency in both written and spoken English.
  • Familiarity with GMP requirements in the pharmaceutical industry would be considered an advantage.

You are proactive, independent, and excel in communication and collaboration. With a structured, analytical mindset, you prioritize effectively, make sound decisions, and ensure timely follow-ups. You value diverse opinions while guiding team decisions and think strategically, adapting to changes that impact projects.

About the department
You will join Material ManDev – RAW, in Product Supply, Sourcing Operations. The position is in the Processes & Raw Material Specifications team, but you will support the entire department. In the team we are today a mix of material scientists and project managers.
The department consists of approximately 60 employees, located in Bagsværd, but moving to Taastrup in the beginning of 2026.
In the RAW Department, we manage the implementation of complex materials (e.g., raw materials, excipients) from development to production and maintain documentation for existing materials. We work closely with functions such as CMC, QC, QA, supply, warehouses, production sites, and external suppliers and CMOs.
You'll join a team of talented individuals with diverse perspectives, where we prioritize strong relationships and an inclusive environment that values the diversity of our employees.

Working at Novo Nordisk
At Novo Nordisk, we don't wait for change. We drive it. We're a dynamic company in an even more dynamic industry, and we know that what got us to where we are today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future. We embrace the spirit of experimentation, striving for excellence without fixating on perfection. We never shy away from opportunities to develop, we seize them. From research and development, through to manufacturing, marketing and sales – we're all working to move the needle on patient care.

Contact
For further information about the role, please contact Manager Charlotte Overby at +45 30790279.

Deadline
12 January 2025
You do not need to attach a cover letter to your application, but please include a few sentences about why you are applying in your resume or CV. To ensure an efficient and fair recruitment process, please refrain from adding a photo in your CV.

We need to aspire to be the best company for the world and we know that this is only possible with talented employees with diverse perspectives, backgrounds and cultures. We are therefore committed to creating an inclusive culture that celebrates the diversity of our employees, the patients we serve and communities we operate in. Together, we're life changing.
