About the Global Business Graduate Programme


The full-time position as a Global Business Graduate offers rotational opportunities across Novo Nordisk in areas like People & Organization (HR), Business Development, Commercial, Digitalization, Medical Affairs, Portfolio Strategy, R&D or Public Affairs.

 

You will work hands-on with global people/organisational and business projects in Novo Nordisk through a wide range of different and exciting roles and within diverse teams and functions – and no matter what, you will work with people who all share the same commitment to excellence and to driving the continued success of Novo Nordisk.


As you embark on your life-changing career in Novo Nordisk, we will provide you with:

 

  • Broad enterprise understanding via Business as well as People & Organization (HR) rotations
  • Accelerated personal and professional development from day one
  • International professional experience

The position


During the two-year programme you will undertake three challenging and exciting rotations of eight-months duration, both in our corporate headquarters in Denmark and in one of our global affiliates. Each rotation will contribute to understanding the Novo Nordisk value chain and strategic people perspective. You will gain experience working as a fully-fledged member of three different teams building your professional skills and teamwork competencies.

 

During the first rotation in our headquarters in Denmark, you will experience hands-on learning and a solid introduction to the business area.

 

In your second rotation, at one of our international affiliates or regional offices, you will acquire local market understanding and gain insights into bridging global perspectives with local market needs and regulations.

 

Coming back to headquarters on your third and final rotation, you will join our People & Organisation (HR) unit and obtain understanding of the people & organisational aspects in the business. 

 

The aim is to give you learnings about the Novo Nordisk value chain and the strategic and people aspects it takes to become a future specialist or leader in Novo Nordisk.

  • Relevant work experience or extracurricular activities obtained next to your studies
  • No more than 1 year of full-time work experience between or after completing a master’s degree

  • Team-player attitude, excellent communication skills, high drive, and an eagerness to learn
  • Professional fluency in English and be globally mobile
