Do you have strong coordination skills, a flair for technology and do you want to see your work have real impact? Would you like to be part of a team that pushes the boundaries for development of aseptic production and product development in the pharmaceutical industry?

At Novo Nordisk our patients are always in focus. With increased demand for Novo Nordisk products this means that we will both lead development of new drug substances and development of new and more effective ways of producing and delivering them.

If this sparks your interest, we offer an exciting role as technical project manager in New Product Introductions (NPI)!

The position
The purpose of NPI is to deliver well established and robust processes to production to ensure smooth product introduction and launch across our production sites. Critical factors for succeeding with this task is to ensure that new technology is effectively introduced, manufacturing processes are well aligned and knowledge sharing across lines and projects works efficiently.

The NPI Project Office is an international team of project managers who have the responsibility to coordinate all activities related to scale up of formulation and filling, process validation, and development of submission documents to authorities. As a technical PM in NPI you will lead cross functional teams and have a close interaction with both the Manufacturing science experts and the drug product PMs. Our projects typically have a very high level of complexity both technically and in terms of stakeholder landscape and strategy. Moreover, the highly regulated pharmaceutical GMP environment creates a particular set of challenges that we need to handle effectively to secure patient safety.

Your daily tasks among others are:

• To work closely together with technical experts locally in NPI, with colleagues in our, manufacturing sites and other areas across Novo Nordisk or with external partners.
• To maintain the overview of your project, set the direction for the team, secure alignment for technology implementation across tracks, and ensure that deliverables are met, and strategies are executed.
• To secure timely development of transparent project plans and communication of these to stakeholders.
• To develop how we do new technology implementation in NPI to succeed with current and future projects.

• 2+ years of experience working with project management within the pharmaceutical industry, or extensive experience from late-stage drug development product projects. This experience could be within development, production, or other relevant disciplines.
• You have the ability to quickly grasp core technical concepts by interaction with scientific and technical experts and the confidence to drive technology alignment even outside your own educational background.
• You are self -driven and inspire and energize your team and your colleagues, set clear and ambitious goals, and work closely together with your stakeholders to reach our goals.
• You are a team player at heart and have excellent communication skills across levels in the organization and easily adapt your communication to the needs of the situation.
