LEGAL COMPLIANCE MANAGER, LEGAL, BAGSVÆRD

Do you want to rethink your impact, and are you passionate about business ethics and legal compliance? Then you might be our new Legal Compliance manager.



What if you could work for a cause, not just a company?

Novozymes is the global market leader in biological solutions. We help build better lives. Together with our customers, partners and the global community, we use our innovative thinking and passion for science to boost industries and make everyday products more sustainable for the good of the planet. As the world’s leading provider of industrial enzymes and microorganisms, our bio-innovation enables higher agricultural yields, low-temperature washing, energy-efficient production, renewable fuel and many, many other biological solutions that the world can benefit from today and in the future. We call it Rethink Tomorrow. 



Join us as our new Legal Compliance Manager

As a legal compliance manager in Novozymes, you will be involved in management and development of compliance policies, procedures, controls and handling of cases within areas such as business ethics, anti-corruption, data privacy/data protection and trade sanctions.

Your primary tasks will be to help maintain, update and develop all elements of compliance programs for Novozymes globally. Your work will be very varied and will include – at least - assisting in the design of compliance programs, rethinking and drafting policies and documentation, developing e-learning programs, providing training to relevant staff, reviewing and commenting codes of conduct and compliance-related agreements and driving due diligence processes. 



You are bright and collaborative. You are a fast learner and have the ability to translate complex requirements into workable rules of thumb. You don’t shy away from a challenge; instead, you follow your plan and overcome it bit by bit. 



You work in a structured and systematic manner and you take pride in seeing your projects through.
