Are you eager to be in a strategic role where you can shape and improve your own business processes, while influencing stakeholders across all levels? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment, driving decision-making and creating lasting value across the organisation?

If this sounds like you, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team as a Senior Business Partner in Product Supply (PS) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) at Novo Nordisk, where we produce lifesaving medicine. Apply today!

The position
As a Senior Business Partner, you act from the centre of the organization. You will be part of the PS API Executive Office and support the management team on various strategic and operational tasks and processes. This will require strong facilitation and the ability to execute while navigating a complex stakeholder landscape.

Your main tasks will be to:

Lead strategic processes and reporting, such as Enterprise Risk Management or Business Review, collaborating closely with management across PS API and beyond
Drive and support executive office assignments, including preparing presentations, coordinating actions from various fora, and conducting business case analyses
Engage with senior stakeholders to ensure alignment and effective execution of key business priorities
Prepare compelling communication material, tailoring complex information to audiences at all levels

The role involves a high focus on redesign of existing processes to foster stronger output and alignment with strategy and portfolio management. You will also take charge of driving optimizations in collaboration with the rest of the Executive Office.

While the workplace is Kalundborg, we as a team have a high emphasis on working as flexible as possible. We expect you to be present 2 days a week at the site on average; the remaining days you are free to work remotely from another Novo Nordisk site or from home.

Qualifications
To thrive in this role, we believe you to:

Hold a master’s degree in finance, business administration, management, or a similar field
Bring 4-6 years of practical experience in strategy, risk management, business excellence, management consulting, or a similar function
Demonstrate a proven track record in change management, building strong relationships and facilitating effective collaboration across organizational levels
Showcase a structured approach with strong time management and organizational skills to prioritize tasks efficiently
Possess strong communication skills, with the ability to create clear, compelling reports and presentations tailored to a broad range of audiences
Display fluency in both written and spoken English

It is not a requirement to have previous experience in the pharmaceutical industry, but we value curiosity to learn about production, products and patients, as well as enthusiasm for understanding how we work as a company.

As a person, you are a natural people person, effectively building and maintaining strong relationships across all organisational levels. You take ownership of your assignments and drive change independently, as well as proactively supporting leadership decision-making with clear, impactful communication. You have a strategic, analytical thinking, able to translate complex information to a diverse audience. Finally, you are creative and innovative, thriving in a supportive, committed team environment while effortlessly reading the room and connecting with others.

About the department
You will be joining PS API Executive Office, a small team working with the intersection between strategy, portfolio management, and leadership support. While you will have close sparring with your team members and have a place to return for reflection and discussions, you will spend a great deal of your time out in the organization.

PS API produces insulin and GLP1 for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. PS API is spread across several sites in Denmark and US with approx. 5,200 employees, running production 24/7.
