Can you make a difference in drug development through data? We offer an opportunity to use your experience from working with data, your clinical and research knowledge, your analytical skills, your curiosity, your leadership skills and creativity to be part of driving the development of innovative integrated treatment solutions that will make a difference for people living with chronic diseases. Novo Nordisk and the pharma industry are transforming towards a more holistic and integrated 5D (Drug, Device, Diagnostic, Digital, Data) product development approach. To enable this transformation Data Science is a strategic priority and coordinated data activities will be key. Apply today and join us for a life-changing career.

About the position
Data Orchestration is a newly established unit in the Novo Nordisk Data Science organisation responsible for strategic planning of data generating activities ranging from early product development to post-launch. The Senior Director will manage a team of Data Lead Project Directors who are responsible for leading major and high complexity clinical data science projects within one or multiple therapeutic areas.

The Senior Director will spearhead our new set-up in the clinical development projects and contribute to the continued development of Data Science. Specifically, the Senior Director will be responsible for projects either within the Obesity/Liver or the Diabetes therapeutic area. The Senior Director will be a member of the Data Orchestration leadership team and will be expected to play a key role in the strategy and direction of Data Orchestration.

Qualifications
We are establishing a strong team with diverse capabilities to complement each other, and we are looking to onboard a candidate with experience from early to late-stage drug development to our team.

The ideal candidate has a tireless drive, naturally spearheading change in large organisations and have a strong understanding of the pharmaceutical industry value chain and product development. You are looking for the next step in your career where you can utilize your expertise with data science and/or clinical science to champion 5D product development. You see teamwork as a key driver for success. Obviously, experience from a similar set-up in another large pharma company will be an advantage.

Other key capabilities include:

• Strong leadership skills, either as project or people manager with a minimum of 8 years’ experience
• Deep insights into data science disciplines in drug development (e.g. biostatistics, pharmacometrics, advanced analytics, epidemiology) alternatively as scientifically or medically responsible for designing drug development programs
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and organisational understanding
• As a person, you have a proven track record, being able to connect the dots across several stakeholders where expectations are high, and success requires exceptional teamwork and a strong drive – also when headwinds kick in
