Would it energise you to work with complex projects in a global, patient-centered organisation, where your skill set will be developed daily through unique challenges? Do you have what it takes to keep major projects on track and lead your team members to success?

If yes, you might be the Project Manager we are looking for. Apply today!

The position
As Project Manager in IM2, you will ensure that scope, time schedule, economy and quality is adhered to in the projects you work with. You will both lead and support our investment projects, all of which are selected as priorities for the ambitious strategic aspirations of IM2 and site Kalundborg. Most projects are focused on opti-misation, scaling or development towards future process initiatives or introducing new products to the manufac-turing lines. We also manage construction projects as the department is developing in size and capacity.

Part of driving your projects will be following the Novo Nordisk Project Execution Model. You will be performing data-based risk assessments and developing alternative project paths to allow for concise managerial assess-ment of choice consequences, apart from of course ensuring strong information flows, stakeholder backing and timely delivery.

Qualifications
As we are managing projects that are both process and construction related, and therefore you must either have a solid understanding of the processes and equipment we work with or have solid construction skills.

We expect you to:

• Have an academic degree in natural science, engineering or similar.
• Have 3+ years of experience from driving and managing optimisation and/or development projects of an equivalent size in a setup like ours – where regulation and quality management are major parts of the job.
• Have formalized your skills through some form of project management education or certification, giv-ing you a range of tools to resolve challenges, manage resources and engage stakeholder concerns.
• Be fluent in English, both verbal and in writing. Danish fluency is preferred but not essential.
• Have a strong analytical background with technical flair – You may have experience working with pro-cesses in a pharmaceutical company.

We expect you to have communication and people skills, that allow you to build trustful relations with ease, crossing professional and cultural distances efficiently and with respect for diversity of opinions and concerns. You present with conviction and clarity to all organisational levels, energising your surroundings with your ambi-tious data-driven goals and your well-calculated descriptions of how to get there. Your clear sense of business priorities and process chain dependencies allow for precise analysis of risks and opportunities, and you never promise more than you can keep. You can expect to have your skills challenged by complexity, regulatory con-straints and sometimes urgency, and to be presented with a wide range of opportunities for personal and pro-fessional development.
