Would you like to function in a high-paced environment where you can change the way we work, shaping the future of manufacturing at Novo Nordisk? Do you consider yourself to be a highly skilled professional, who would like to help us ensure development of aseptic production processes suitable for manufacturing sites around the world?

If so, then you might be our new Senior Manufacturing Development Scientist, based in the Greater Copenhagen area, Denmark. Apply today for a life-changing career!

The Position
As a Senior Manufacturing Development Scientist, you will be working on tasks related to execution of drug product productions for phase 3 clinical trials, spearheading tasks for test runs and process characterization of formulation and filling process parameters and supporting process validation activities to prepare for large-scale market production. You will be working in close collaboration with colleagues within the department and with various stakeholders.

This position offers great opportunities for building a large network, since you will be working with both development departments and production sites – Novo Nordisk’s own sites, as well as with Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). Depending on this, the role may involve up to approximately 20 travel days per year, primarily to the EU and the US.

This is an opportunity that provides the chance to work in a professionally challenging setting alongside a highly engaged and supportive team. The job includes a creative work environment with excellent opportunities for developing both professional and personal competences.

• A min. bachelor’s degree in natural science, pharmaceutical design and engineering, or similar field.
• Solid experience within aseptic production or manufacturing within a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment.
• Hands-on experience with aseptic formulation, filling systems, and knowledge of validation activities.
• Familiarity with regulatory documentation.
• Full professional proficiency in English.

As a person, you have excellent collaboration and communication skills and are an individual who prioritizes team success above personal achievements. You are self-driven and ambitious and are comfortable in a setting with unknowns and several stakeholders, where our actions make a real impact.

Working in a dynamic and complex environment calls for adaptability, a strong willingness to learn, and the ability to remain composed in challenging situations—always be ready to provide to and receive support from a dedicated team. A quality-focused mindset, combined with solid time-management and planning skills, is essential to meet ambitious deadlines this team has been faced with. Collaboration is highly valued, and the role involves working closely with others to ensure the successful completion of high-priority tasks.
