Your main task will be to drive financial integration from an accounting perspective, including:

• Support month-end reporting in collaboration with the acquired finance organisation and Business Finance by adding relevant adjustments to comply with IFRS

• Bridge and standardise accounting policies to align with Novo Nordisk accounting practise

• Strong financial toolbox and stakeholder management skills.

• Experience working with complex ERP systems (SAP-knowledge would be a benefit but is not mandatory.)

As a person, you are a team player and you have excellent communication and stakeholder management skills and a strong commercial understanding. You are structured and thrive when ensuring measurable progress. Furthermore, you like to set high ambitions for yourself and the team and enjoy working with a diverse group of people.

We welcome applications from candidates who may not perfectly match 100% of the qualifications but are eager to contribute and grow within our dynamic team.
