Gentofte Kommune, Denmark Novonordiskfonden Full time

Description

We are looking for a Project Manager to be part of the Infectious Diseases Programme area in the Novo Nordisk Foundation. You will be providing programme oversight and supporting the team in managing projects across the entire Infectious Diseases portfolio.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation’s (NNF) Infectious Diseases programme area leads the development of strategic initiatives and manages grants that support infectious diseases research both in Denmark and globally to enable better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of selected global pathogen threats.

Within the NNF 2030 strategy, there is an ambitious aim to decrease the global burden and threat of infectious diseases. The Infectious Diseases programme area was formally established in 2022 to develop new strategic initiatives and manage existing programmes aligned with this ambition. These include programmes within vaccines and immunity (e.g., NIVI ); viruses and epidemic preparedness (e.g., PAD initiative ); as well as bacterial and fungal pathogens and AMR.

To further enhance our efforts in an increasingly complex scientific area, we are looking for a highly motivated colleague with excellent project management skills.

Our Infectious Diseases team is made up of 9 dedicated colleagues from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. Joining our team and NNF means being part of a dynamic and diverse community where your expertise and individuality contribute to the collective pursuit of scientific excellence and global impact. In the team, we act as close sparring partners, and we value creativity, integrity, and good collegial relationships. We have a strong collaborative focus in our ways of working both within our area and across the NNF as well as with external partners and stakeholders in infectious diseases and global health.

The job

As a Project Manager, you will play a key role in managing and keeping oversight of our Infectious Diseases portfolio of projects, grants, and activities. Your key tasks will be to:

  • Support the Infectious Diseases Programme area by applying general project management expertise in the development, design, and implementation of new and ongoing projects.
  • Keep oversight of the Infectious Diseases project portfolio including: developing and maintaining portfolio management tools, gathering data and undertaking analyses to inform project and programme development, monitoring and tracking progress, deadlines, and deliverables, supporting the overall work organisation and planning including monitoring timelines and workload distribution.
  • Lead the production and maintenance of relevant templates, documents, reports, and presentation material in alignment with organisational templates and processes.
  • Coordinate and provide general team support in close alignment with administrative colleagues, including for internal and external scientific evaluation of proposals, planning and organising workshops, conferences, and meetings.
  • Drive engagements with internal and external stakeholders including setting agendas, taking minutes, and following up on actions with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Provide scientific/technical support to the Infectious Diseases Vice President in the preparation of key documents, presentations, and briefs related to Infectious Diseases projects and programmes.

Professional and personal qualifications

We welcome candidates with excellent project management skills who are structured, collaborative, and highly motivated to contribute to solving global challenges within infectious diseases.

Furthermore, we expect you to have:

  • A master’s degree in relevant life or health sciences (e.g., biology, public health, global health, or medical science) with a minimum of 5+ years of work experience that includes scientific project- and/or research management, ideally within infectious diseases.
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to manage several complex projects simultaneously.
  • Strong communication skills including oral and written fluency in English.
  • High level of IT skills within Microsoft Office.
  • Knowledge of the infectious diseases research ecosystem in Denmark and globally, as well as international experience, is valued as a plus but not a prerequisite.

We believe you will thrive in this role if you are:

  • Professional, diligent, quality-conscious, and impact-oriented.
  • Able to effectively plan, prioritise, execute, and follow up in a timely manner.
  • Analytical, proactive, and with a structured approach to problem-solving.
  • Intellectually quick, curious, disciplined, resourceful, and resilient.
  • Able to build strong relationships with good interpersonal skills and a team player.

We offer a committed and professional workplace in which we emphasize ensuring that our colleagues thrive, are challenged, and have the opportunity to develop their potential. You will have the opportunity to work on important projects that improve people’s health and the sustainability of society and the planet together with key actors within research and development in Denmark and internationally.

The primary workplace is onsite at the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s offices in Hellerup, Denmark. You should expect occasional meetings outside normal working hours due to global partners in different time zones.
