Are you a skilled coordinator who thrive in multidisciplinary team environments consistently meeting timelines and achieving deadlines? Do you know your way around HPLC analyses or validations and have experience working within a regulated environment? If so, then the Dose Formulation Analysis (DFA) team is eager to welcome you onboard in this 12-months maternity cover position with the possibility of permanent employment!

The position
In the DFA team, we are responsible for outsourcing DFA activities to support Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) compliant non-clinical safety pharmacology and toxicology studies across all developing projects in the Novo Nordisk pipeline. We also coordinate and outsource formulation, stability, and method validation studies by HPLC to CROs. We act as monitors according to the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines and our primary responsibility is to ensure that all work is conducted to both the correct scientific level and in regulatory compliance. Without DFA, no non-clinical studies can be performed, so our job is essential to progressing the projects!

Our role is to coordinate studies and provide our scientific knowledge to support the formulation and analytical work at our contract research organizations (CROs), rather than doing laboratory work ourselves.

We are in daily contact with many internal and external stakeholders to collect knowledge and documentation on project timelines, technical data, method transfer details etc. to ensure support of the ongoing non-clinical studies. Based on this information we communicate with our CROs and support their work with both HPLC quantification and HPLC method validation studies ensuring timely delivery of data.

Your main responsibilities will include, but not limited to:

• Contracting DFA activities
• Communicating with CROs and our internal stakeholders regarding scientific knowledge and study conduct
• Coordinating study timelines and deliverables e.g. collecting relevant documents from internal stakeholders, shipment of compound and sharing technical data with CROs
• Reviewing study plans and reports from CROs

Depending on your background and previous experience, you will receive the training needed to support the responsibilities of the team e.g. training in the GLP regulations and validation guidelines.

Despite being an outsourcing role, the job includes extensive interaction with internal stakeholders in CMC and Global Discovery and Development Sciences (GDDS) and other team members, hence physical presence in Måløv is required.

Qualifications
You have an educational background in life sciences, laboratory technician or similar.

It is a significant advantage that you have experience in working with HPLC-UV analytical methods as well as experience in coordinating and organising with internal and/or external stakeholders in the scientific field.

Preferably you have the following qualifications:

• Experience from working within a regulated environment, e.g., a GxP or ISO environment
• Experience with analysis of formulated pharmaceuticals (drug prodrugs)
• Experience in collaborating with external laboratories (CRO or CMO)

On a personal level, great communication and stakeholder management skill. You are proactive and are capable of working in a multidisciplinary environment and meeting timelines. Furthermore, you have strong written and oral communication skills in English.

We welcome candidates with the right skills and relevant background, even if they have less experience.
