(Senior) Analytical Project Manager

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to lead the implementation of analytical methods for drug products?

If you have a foundation in analytical chemistry/QC and are eager to enhance your project management skills, read on! We are seeking an engaged and passionate individual who can drive our projects to success. 

Your new role
As Analytical Project Manager you will be the one point of contact for one or more development projects or lifecycle management (LCM) projects in the Analytical Projects and Innovation department. You will play a key role in leading analytical development activities across different products in the AMSAT (Aseptic Manufacturing Science and Technology) area.

Activities include coordination of analytical validations and transfers, coordination of writing of regulatory documents, submissions and questions from authorities across the globe. You will be a member of the core project teams along with other technical project managers.  

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring progress, planning, and execution of analytical activities in development or LCM projects. 
• Managing the department’s project portfolio and providing professional guidance and sparring to the projects regarding analytical methods incl. validation.
• Interact with a wide variety of stakeholders such as technical project managers (for e.g., drug product and drug substance), CMC, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, and representatives from Quality Control departments.
• Collaborate and coordinate with analytical professionals who are working hands-on with method validation and optimization, transfers and regulatory writing.
• Be responsible for aligning the needs of the project organization with those in line of business.

You will work closely with stakeholders across the organization regarding both planning and execution and facilitating resolving concrete scientific challenges. All of this requires clear and timely communication of project requirements to team and department members.

Finally, you will join a harmonious team and department with competent, caring, and positive colleagues. We have a strong foundation of employees with high seniority mixed with more recent newcomers.

The job is ideal for a dedicated and result-oriented project manager who enjoys working in a flexible, collaborative, international, and open-minded environment. A few yearly travel days might be expected.

Your new department

You will be joining a team with 13 Analytical Project Managers, who combine many years of experience in coordinating analytical tasks both during Phase 3 and marketed phases. The rest of the department includes technical project managers who coordinate analytical automation projects, so project management is our core expertise.

In CMC & Product Supply, we cover the full value chain from drug and device development to marketed Novo Nordisk products. We are more than 30,000 colleagues across the globe with the shared responsibility of scaling molecules, processes, devices, and products, dedicated to supplying life-saving medicines to the patients who need them most.

Your skills and qualifications
This position is the natural next step for an experienced project manager but can also be a learning path for someone with less project management experience and a strong background in analytical chemistry.

To succeed in this role, we imagine that you have:

• A relevant academic degree within Pharmacy, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering or a similar field.
• Experience within analytical chemistry combined with knowledge of GMP requirements. 
• Experience in managing/coordinating and executing smaller and larger projects within CMC analytical development and/or QC
•  Experience in leading analytical activities in either early phase and/or late phase clinical development.
• Scientific experience within analytical development and/or validation and preferably experience with regulatory submissions.
• Experience in transfer of analytical methods and CMO collaboration is an advantage.
• Strong communication skills both in spoken and written English.

In addition, you easily collaborate between departments, you are proactively reaching out to your stakeholders and are accustomed to presenting project status overviews.

You are motivated by the opportunity of getting a large network in and across our area. You see opportunities in new ideas and thrive in a changing environment with ambitious deadlines.
