About the Department

Sourcing Operations ensure that our production sites globally have the materials they need to keep production lines running and meet patient demands in the market. We source raw materials, primary packaging and printed packaging materials, maintain specifications, plans and purchase, store and perform quality controls before the materials are released for production.

We are operating mainly out of Denmark in Bagsværd, Hillerød and Kalundborg, but are expanding rapidly and are currently also setting up a sourcing hub in the US to support our growing production facilities there.

We are approaching 700 people in the business unit and you will be joining our IT Projects team with 9 employees. We collaborate closely with our sister-team, IT Operations.

We value diversity in our team, which means that many of our colleagues bring a competency spike from other functions or experiences, and we are looking forward to hearing what yours is, and also how that can build the team further.
