Your Responsibilities

You will be responsible for ensuring that project scope, timelines, and quality standards are met. You will lead investment projects critical to the strategic aspirations of our organization.

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in driving and managing optimization and/or development projects of equivalent size in a setup like ours, where regulation and quality management are key components.
  • Formalized project management education or certification, providing a range of tools to resolve challenges, manage resources, and engage stakeholder concerns.

  • A strong analytical background with technical flair, potentially with experience working with processes in a pharmaceutical company.

About Us

Our team at Novo Nordisk A/S is part of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) area. Our plant has seven departments, with over 700 colleagues producing the core ingredient for many quality products delivered to people living with diabetes worldwide.

In this role, you will work alongside highly qualified colleagues with diverse professional backgrounds, all united by our goal to support production and implement strategies within API.

Why Work with Us?

We drive change and innovation. We're a dynamic company in a rapidly evolving industry, and we recognize that what got us here may not be enough to take us there. We strive for excellence without fixating on perfection and seize opportunities to develop and grow.
