Do you want to be part of preparing for the successful launch of a new product in the Novo Nordisk portfolio of best-in-class brands and further drive our aspiration to improve patient outcomes and expand our leadership in diabetes care? Do you wish to support the creation of a strong global brand while building on best-in-industry practise and experience gained from multiple product launches within recent years?
Does it motivate you to work closely with colleagues from many different functional areas and affiliates? Does it excite you to be part of a dynamic team with a strong level of autonomy? If yes, this might be the right job for you. We are looking for a Global Product Manager for the Semaglutide Global Brand Team.
Results from the first semaglutide phase 3a trials, SUSTAIN 1 and 3 have already reported, and Novo Nordisk expects to announce headline results of the four remaining SUSTAIN trials within the next coming quarters. Once-weekly semaglutide is a new generation GLP-1 receptor agonist developed for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.
