Project Manager

People, Organisation & Corporate Affairs
Bagsværd, Denmark

Are you ready to help bring Novo Nordisk's story to life? The Novo Nordisk Annual Report is one of our most visible communication platforms — bringing strategy, performance, priorities and purpose together for colleagues, investors, patients, policymakers and the public. If you thrive on structure, storytelling and high-stakes delivery, this is your chance to help shape how the world sees Novo Nordisk.

Your new role

This is a development opportunity with significant executive visibility. Working alongside an experienced project lead, you will be onboarded into the Annual Report process and trusted with increasing responsibility as you build your project management skills, stakeholder confidence and understanding of Novo Nordisk's corporate narrative.

• Support the project lead across the full Annual Report cycle, from kick-off through final approval and publication
• Keep the plan moving: track actions and dependencies, and make sure stakeholders know what is expected, when and why
• Coordinate input from subject matter experts, ESG and Financial Accounting, Investor Relations, internal and external writers, designers and digital reporting partners
• Prepare crisp meeting materials, status updates and decision points for senior stakeholders, including the CEO — building confidence in communicating with leaders at the highest level
• Help manage agencies and vendors, protect quality and consistency, and flag risks early so the team can resolve them quickly
• In the 'off-season', join projects that strengthen and optimise the reach and impact of Enterprise Comms across Novo Nordisk.

Your new department

In People, Organisation & Corporate Affairs, you will be part of a team that enhances employee engagement and attracts top talent to ensure Novo Nordisk remains a premier choice for exceptional individuals. Together, we foster an inclusive workplace culture that empowers individuals to thrive and supports our mission to make a positive impact on people's lives.

You will join Enterprise News within Global Corporate Affairs — the team responsible for connecting Novo Nordisk's corporate narrative across internal and external audiences. We are storytellers at heart, and consistency is our craft. When colleagues and external audiences recognise the same core narrative, we build trust, strengthen alignment and make our communication more credible. In this role, you will gain a rare insight into how strategy, performance and reputation come together at executive level, while building a broad network across the organisation.

Your skills & qualifications

We are looking for someone who is structured, curious and energised by high-profile delivery. You will bring with you:

• A proven track record of delivering projects, coordinating stakeholders and keeping complex work moving — ideally in communication, journalism, marketing or a related field
• A structured and reliable way of working: you create overview, follow through on actions and keep deadlines visible
• Clear, concise communication skills with strong attention to detail, and the ability to turn complex input into practical next steps and decision-ready material
• Comfort working in a supporting project role alongside the project lead, with tight deadlines and shifting priorities
• A proactive, analytical and calm-under-pressure mindset, with a genuine interest in storytelling and how internal and external corporate narratives connect.

Working at Novo Nordisk

For over a century, we have stayed true to our mission of defeating serious chronic diseases — and we are reaching more patients than ever before. That purpose runs through everything we do and everyone who works here. You will find driven, talented colleagues who push each other to go further, and a culture where diverse thinking, shared accountability and mutual respect come together to create extraordinary results. We care about our people as whole persons, investing in growth, wellbeing and belonging at every stage of your career and life. When you join Novo Nordisk, you join a company at a defining moment — one where your work has real and immediate impact.

What we offer 

There is, of course, more on offer here than the uniqueness of our culture and the extraordinary results we produce. Being part of a global healthcare company means opportunities to learn and develop are all around us, while our benefits are designed with your career and life stage in mind. 

Salary: For this role, the Annual Base Salary ranges from 570,200 (annual) to 838,100 (annual) DKK, corresponding to the level of the position.

The placement within the salary range will be assessed during the recruitment process based on the candidate’s skills, competencies, knowledge, and relevant experience.
