The position

As Supply Chain Project Manager, your role involves coordinating and setting-up the supply chains for new Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), directly influencing the launch and delivery of our upcoming products. As they become an integrated part of our business, it is crucial to establish a trusted and close collaboration, leveraging our business understanding and efficiently build a robust supply chain.

You will be responsible for the Supply Chain work package reporting into the overall Global Contract Manufacturing (GCM) Project Manager in partnership with other product and production specialists. By utilizing your excellent stakeholder management skills, you bridge various Novo Nordisk Supply Chain organizations in to play when ensuring the best set-up for our new CMO’s.

Some of your main tasks entail:

-Defining warehousing and transport strategies based on risk analysis, warehouse space, aligning with business needs for seamless system integration
-Developing and implementing resilient supply chain processes, including setting supply-chain KPIs, forecasting, and establishing safety-stock levels processes
-Creating effective communication flows and delineating roles and responsibilities both internally and with the CMOs
-Ensuring timely delivery of essential test materials through the project phase
-Facilitating a smooth and robust handover to Supply Chain Planner handling the operational collaboration with the CMO
We are committed to continuously enhancing the professionalism of our operational practices, providing you with the opportunity to significantly influence how we approach robustness, cost optimization, and complexity reduction within our supply chain.

In this position, you will acquire broad knowledge of the entire Novo Nordisk product portfolio while collaborating with international CMOs in Europe and North America. Internally, you collaborate across various departments, such as IT, internal sourcing, warehousing, and Quality Assurance, ensuring a reliable and efficient supply chain.

The current office location is Søborg; however, the department will be relocating to Taastrup at the end of the year.

Qualifications
To be considered for this position, we imagine you:

-Hold a master’s degree in Supply Chain Management, or another related field
-Possess practical Supply Chain experience within a regulated industry
-Demonstrate prior experience in Project Management, preferably in setting-up processes or standards
-Exhibit fluency in both written and spoken English
As a person, you excel at cultivating relationships across diverse cultures, securing commitment from both internal and external stakeholders. In addition to possessing strong communication skills, you proactively approach your daily tasks and effectively manage your own time, enjoying challenges and adeptly crafting solutions to bring structure. You efficiently work independently, take ownership for your work, and thrive in a dynamic and ambitious environment, with many simultaneous tasks and changing priorities.

About the department
You will be a part of our Supply Chain department in the dynamic and agile GCM Drug Product  (DP) area. GCM DP Supply Chain has two main responsibilities: establishing supply chains for new CMOs – this is where this position is located, and managing purchase planning for existing CMOs – overseeing supply chain after handover to operations.

We work closely with colleagues in the rest of GCM DP, Contract Manufacturers and several stakeholders from within the central supply chain organization. You will join an international team of 9-11 highly motivated and talented Supply Chain Project Managers who encourage each other’s professional development and value a positive and fun work environment.
