Are you passionate about working with project management and improving processes? Are you motivated by the opportunity to be part of a winning team with ambitions to set new standards? If you have what it takes: drive, interest for business in a science environment and a sharp mind, you have the opportunity to become part of the highly committed and ambitious team in R&D Business Support at Novo Nordisk.



About the department

This job offers you a great opportunity to work with 12 dedicated colleagues in R&D Business Support. The department is part of Strategic R&D, a staff function to the CSO of Novo Nordisk, working across the global R&D organisation providing information, insights and advice to drive knowledge-based decision-making and best-in-class positioning of R&D. We continuously focus on identifying and executing strategic projects across the R&D value chain.



The job

As Project Manager you will play a central role in driving improvement projects across the R&D value chain. You will be responsible for driving one or more of our projects and management of a steering committee and potentially a project team of four to six members. You will be exposed to different organisational areas throughout R&D, and the job offers frequent interactions with senior management. Projects will include strategy, mid- and long-term planning and process optimisation. You will be involved in several ad hoc assignments such as data analysis, benchmarking and management presentations. You will build a strong network within the organisation and be able to further develop your skills. We expect you to actively take part in the continuous development of the department and contribute to a high performing team.



Qualifications

The person we are looking for has completed a relevant Master's Degree in economics, production engineering, business administration or the like with excellent results. You have at least five years of experience from a similar position working with business processes, leadership or project management with an excellent track record. It is an advantage if you have experience from the pharmaceutical industry or even currently work in the Novo Nordisk R&D organisation as Project Manager or Analyst.



You are motivated by driving change and improvements involving many stakeholders at all organisational levels. You have a high level of drive, initiative and persistence, and you are results-oriented. You are analytical, structured and comfortable managing projects on your own, and you like to be challenged. Excellent communication and presentations skills are required.



At Novo Nordisk we use our skills, dedication and ambition to help change the lives of people with diabetes and other chronic conditions. By working with us you will have the chance to do the same in a global business setting.
