Would you like to take part in the implementation of new primary packaging for Novo Nordisk? Are you motivated by working with full ownership over your projects from initiation to handover, further developing your skills in a global organisation? 

If so, join us in the Material Manufacturing Development (ManDev) department and help us prepare our supply chain for the future! Apply today!

The position 
Our department is facing an increased number of new projects, as new primary packaging components and systems are to be developed to accommodate the increasing pipeline of Novo Nordisk. As Project Manager, you will be responsible for a global project to specify and implement a new Primary Packaging platform across production facilities worldwide.

Due to the strategic nature of the projects, you actively engage with senior leadership across Oral Finished Products – both at headquarters as well as across the manufacturing network.

Your key responsibilities include:

-Developing solid project plans for Primary Packaging materials from initial to final phase of our supply chain projects lifecycle, meeting objectives, milestones, and cost
-Leading a project team consisting of many different professional standpoints and varying departments/areas globally
-Designing and bringing life to the new supply chain setup required to succeed with the project objectives
-Identifying key stakeholders, proactively engaging, and challenging stakeholders in dialogue across business areas
-Communicating project progress/performance to all relevant stakeholders and addressing issues to management in a timely manner

The current office location is Bagsværd; however, the department will be relocating to Taastrup in the beginning of 2026.

Qualifications

To be considered for this position, we imagine you:

-Hold a master’s degree in engineering, natural science, supply chain, business administration, or another relevant discipline
-Bring a minimum of 3 years of project management experience in a comparable setting
-Possess process, change, and stakeholder management skills, along with process optimisation knowledge
-Thrive in a dynamic environment and quickly adapt to changing circumstances
-Display fluency in both written and spoken English
It would be considered as a strong advantage if you have knowledge of foils, blister packs, and bulk containers, along with experience in requirement/system engineering, safety risk management, and quality specifications in the pharmaceutical business.

Additionally, familiarity with GMP requirements within the pharmaceutical industry, primary packaging, or material engineering will be a significant plus.

As a person, you are motivated by finding the solutions that are sustainable and can be incorporated in manufacturing processes. You work in a structured manner and take ownership of your assignment. With your analytical and problem-solving skills, you can analyse different solutions, both in the scoping phase as well as during the project. You are curious, proactive, and eager to learn, which you use to motivate your colleagues with a positive and forthcoming attitude. Lastly, you possess strong communication and stakeholder management skills that enables you to build strong relations across the organisation.

About the department
You will join the Material ManDev within Product Supply Sourcing Operations, which consists of 100+ employees organised in 3 departments. We are responsible for development and implementation of complex materials (raw materials, excipients, Primary Packaging materials, etc.) from development to production and maintain documentation on existing materials. We cooperate with a variety of functions, including Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control, Device R&D, QC laboratories, Quality Assurance, various Novo Nordisk production sites, and a range of external suppliers and CMOs.

Working in the headquarters, you join an environment characterized by innovation, openness, and highly engaged colleagues who work dedicated to help us change lives for the better for patients around the world.
