About the Department
Our team operates within Novo Nordisk's global P&O, where we are responsible for ensuring the protection and proper management of employees' and job candidates' personal data in the global P&O processes as well as P&O IT-systems.

Experience with other global data privacy legislation and/or practices is likely beneficial.

Other experiences you will bring are as follows:

• An excellent track record in vendor assessments, contract negotiations, and in drafting and reviewing data processing amendments in complex vendor contracts including M&A´s.

• Exhibit excellent communication skills, including the ability to convey complex legal points to stakeholders with varying degrees of experience with legal matters.
