Supply Chain Coordinator for our Pilot Plants

Supply Chain Coordinator

API Pilot Plants

Bagsværd, Denmark, Onsite

Your new role

As a Supply Chain Coordinator, you will be the operational backbone that ensures seamless material flow across our four API pilot plants. Your work directly enables the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients for clinical programmes that will one day reach patients worldwide.

Day-to-day your tasks will include:

• Coordinating end-to-end logistics solutions, including material flows, storage, staging, internal transportation, and cross-pilot transfers
• Ensuring alignment with production needs, quality requirements, safety standards, and operational workflows
• Collaborating with stakeholders across Purification, Chemistry, Recovery, Freezing/Storage, QA, Tech Support, Facilities, Supply Chain, Procurement, and Planning
• Managing raw materials, consumables, solvents, intermediates, and API containers to ensure readiness and availability at the right time and place
• Planning, scheduling, and maintaining efficient and compliant operations during production campaigns
• Documenting processes, flows, and system changes to ensure compliance with GMP and Good Documentation Practice

This role is pivotal in maintaining flow and efficiency in a dynamic pilot-production environment, where strong coordination, standardisation, and a milestone-oriented mindset are essential.

Your new department

You will join the Purification Pilot Plant department, which consists of 6 teams, including four pilot facilities located across two sites, a solvent production team, and a support team. We are part of the API Pilots organisation, responsible for producing active pharmaceutical ingredients for Novo Nordisk's clinical programmes. Specifically, you'll be part of our solvent team, which is currently expanding its responsibilities across the department. Our team is known for its collaborative spirit, dynamic environment, and commitment to delivering high-quality results.

Your skills & qualifications

You bring experience from complex pharmaceutical production environments and thrive in cross-functional, fast-moving pilot-plant settings. You are structured, proactive, and comfortable making decisions in a dynamic operation where priorities shift with campaign needs.

We expect that you:

• Have experience from API or pharmaceutical pilot-scale production, development manufacturing, or other GMP-regulated operations where material flow, readiness, and coordination are central
• Understand logistics processes in a pilot-plant context, including handling of raw materials, solvents, intermediates, and API, as well as supporting equipment and staging workflows
• Have experience with production planning and/or materials planning, preferably in environments where schedules depend on campaign execution and cross-facility coordination
• Are familiar with SAP-based business processes (experience with PASX, STYX, SAP, EWM, WMS, or similar is an advantage) and can use digital systems to track, document, and maintain material flows
• Can document processes, flows, and system changes clearly, ensuring compliance with GMP and Good Documentation Practice
• Communicate confidently with production teams, QA, warehouse, procurement, and technical support, and can facilitate coordination meetings or smaller workshops
• Work analytically and independently, taking ownership of logistics tasks and keeping production supplied without interruption
• Are detail-oriented and quality-focused, understanding the importance of traceability, timely documentation, and GMP compliance
• Are fluent in English, written and spoken (Danish is a plus but not required)

On a personal level, you enjoy teamwork in a multi-pilot operational setup, thrive in multicultural and cross-disciplinary environments, and naturally create structure while simplifying and standardizing where possible.
