Do you thrive in tackling complex challenges and shaping strategic decisions? Are you ready to provide expert guidance on manufacturability and scalability while driving optimization across Novo Nordisk's product development pipeline? Join us as a Technology Platform Lead and make a meaningful impact on the future of product development within Product Supply

The position
As the Technology Platform Lead you represent the Chemical API technology platforms (Small molecules, synthetic peptides, oligonucleotides) within Product Supply's product development area (DPP). You will be instrumental in supporting development projects and development portfolios with technical expertise, process optimization, and strategic problem-solving. You will serve as a key advisor and representative ensuring manufacturability, scalability, and alignment with project priorities and timelines while driving value for the development pipeline.

Main responsibilities will be to:

  1. Provide expert guidance on manufacturability and scalability for clinical and market production, proactively addressing technology platform-related issues in collaboration with CMC-PS Project Directors.
  2. Lead and resolve complex challenges at the project, portfolio, or platform level, ensuring timely solutions to maximize pipeline value.
  3. Establish and maintain robust networks for knowledge sharing among CMC-PS Project Directors within DPP, promoting innovation and collaboration.
  4. Represent DPP in cross-functional projects across PSQIT and Novo Nordisk, ensuring alignment and advocating for Product Supply's priorities.
  5. Drive initiatives to optimize PSQIT technology platforms in collaboration with stakeholders, securing effective platform utilization.

In this role you will operate with a high degree of independence and influence, shaping strategic decisions that have a significant impact on the development pipeline. If you thrive in a dynamic environment and excel at cross-functional collaboration, this is an exceptional opportunity to make a meaningful difference.

Qualifications
We are looking for a candidate with experience in senior stakeholder management along with a holistic approach to problem solving, combined with thorough understanding of the pharmaceutical value chain, specifically, the drug development process from early phase to market.

To succeed in this role, you have:

  1. An MSc or PhD degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical science, biology, engineering or similar.
  2. At least 8-10 years of experience within pharmaceutical product development or expertise within pharmaceutical production at the technology platform.
  3. In-depth knowledge of quality standards in the pharmaceutical industry as well as global regulatory requirements.
  4. Full English proficiency.

On a personal level, you have a strategic mindset and strategic communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex challenges and combine knowledge and business understanding into concrete solutions. You display a high level of independence, personal engagement, drive to reach results as well as integrity, seeking optimal trade-offs when faced with constraints.

About the department

We represent the technology platform perspective across our product development function. We are a small unit consisting of very experienced project managers representing all high-volume technological platforms which Novo Nordisk operates on.

The position is located in Taastrup.
