Ballerup, Ballerup Kommune, Denmark Novo Nordisk AS Full time

Are you passionate about advancing the field of cell therapy? Do you want to contribute to the development of innovative treatments for complex diseases?


In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact as a Project Manager in our Cell Therapy R&D unit at Novo Nordisk. Your primary focus will be on coordinating all tasks related to the Hypoimmune project, ensuring seamless collaboration between research and GMP manufacturing teams.


As a key member of our dynamic team, you will help shape the overall strategy for the project and drive the CMC Development part of the project forward. You will be responsible for setting protocols and processes that will play a crucial role in supplying our Cell Therapy R&D unit pipeline with cutting-edge next-generation cell therapies.


These therapies include genome-modified hypoimmunogenic allogeneic cell therapy products designed for the treatment of type 1 diabetes, chronic heart failure, and Parkinson's disease, positioning us at the forefront of innovation in these therapeutic areas.


As a Project Manager, you will work closely with our international team, including colleagues in Denmark and California, to ensure successful project execution. This role requires flexibility to work across time zones and has limited travel activity.


To be successful in this role, you should have experience in project management, risk management, and project communication. A strong understanding of GMP and production in the pharmaceutical industry is essential, as well as knowledge of gene editing and development, and application of biological methods such as gene sequencing or clone screening.


Additionally, you should have experience in process development, cell culture of human/mammalian cell lines, particularly human pluripotent stem cells, and high proficiency in spoken and written English. On a personal level, you should be dedicated, flexible, and have great project management skills, as well as a can-do attitude and ability to work in a team-oriented and multicultural environment.
