  5. Advise newly established companies from Novo Holdings and the Novo Nordisk Foundation on common cloud infrastructure matters such as project scoping and system choices
  6. Propose initiatives for the IT portfolio to maintain a state-of-the-art IT architecture

The role requires a broad understanding of modern technologies and the ability to imagine these technologies in a business context. Therefore, it is imperative that you stay up to date on the latest technologies and trends and demonstrate a passion for business efficiency.
