The position
As a GMP Material Scientist, you have the responsibility for critical materials used in GMP production at Novo Nordisk. For this position the focus will be on process aids and Single Use Systems (SUS) - systems composed of connectors, sterile filters, bags, hoses etc. - used in our filling facilities.

Your role also involves assuring that Novo Nordisk production’s needs are met when introducing new process aids and single use systems, maintaining control documentation for process aids and SUS received by Novo Nordisk warehouses.

Your primary responsibilities include:

• Ensuring suitable material control strategies in collaboration with internal parties and setting the internal material release specification
• Handling urgent issues with high impact for the use of the materials, along with active scientific evaluation of critical cases
• Representing the team in technical and scientific discussions in projects across the organisation
• Evaluating change notifications from material suppliers for potential impact on product quality, along with providing input to quality agreements with material suppliers
• Participating in root cause investigations for failed systems or materials out of specification and contribute with active scientific evaluation of critical cases

While this position is primarily office-based, we offer flexibility to work from home when the tasks at hand allow.

Qualifications

• Showcase strong technical and analytical skills, with the ability to apply them effectively
• Possess strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills
• Display proficiency in both spoken and written English

It would be considered as a strong advantage if you have experience or knowledge of aseptic production and isolators, cleaning and sterilization, polymer chemistry, or engineering.

As a person, you are open-minded, detail-oriented, have great collaboration skills, and are a strong communicator by nature. You are structured, with a natural sense of priority and are not afraid to set direction. You are action-oriented, pro-active and get things done. A team-player, you enjoy cross-functional, cross-departmental and stakeholder collaboration. Lastly, you motivate your colleagues with a positive, forthcoming attitude and actively take active part in decisions.
