Analytical Professional, Inline NIR Spectroscopy

Do you want to shape the future of pharmaceutical manufacturing through advanced process analytical technologies? Are you motivated by transforming complex data into insights that improve product quality and manufacturing performance? Join Novo Nordisk and play a key role in expanding and strengthening our capabilities within inline Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and chemometric modelling.  

Your new role 

As an Analytical Professional specialising in Inline NIR Spectroscopy, you will contribute to the development, implementation and optimisation of advanced Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solutions across manufacturing processes. Working in a highly collaborative environment, you will bridge analytical science, digitalisation and production to ensure robust and data-driven process understanding. 

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Driving the development, validation and deployment of inline NIR spectroscopy solutions for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. 

• Developing and maintaining chemometric models to support process monitoring, optimisation and control strategies. 

• Collaborating closely with manufacturing, quality, automation and data science stakeholders to ensure successful implementation of PAT solutions. 

• Supporting troubleshooting activities, continuous improvement initiatives and process performance investigations using advanced analytical approaches. 

• Contributing to regulatory and GMP-compliant documentation, knowledge sharing and capability building within analytical technologies. 

In this role, you will have the opportunity to influence how advanced analytics and spectroscopy are integrated into future manufacturing platforms, helping to ensure high-quality products reach patients efficiently and reliably. 

Your new department 

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 lifesaving medicines to the patients who need them most.  

You will join a department within Manufacturing Tech & Excellence focused on analytical science, process understanding and technology implementation. The team combines expertise in spectroscopy, chemometrics, data analysis and pharmaceutical manufacturing to support strategic initiatives across production sites. As part of a highly skilled and collaborative environment, you will work with experts from multiple disciplines while contributing directly to innovation and operational excellence. 

Your skills and qualifications 

We are looking for a curious and collaborative professional who enjoys solving complex analytical challenges and converting scientific insights into practical manufacturing solutions. You bring strong technical expertise along with the ability to engage a broad range of stakeholders. 

To succeed in this role, you will ideally have: 

• A master's degree or PhD within Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biotechnology, Data Science, Process Engineering or a related scientific discipline. 

• Experience with NIR spectroscopy, chemometric modelling and multivariate data analysis within a regulated environment. 

• Knowledge of pharmaceutical manufacturing, Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and GMP requirements. 

• Experience with analytical and data science tools such as MATLAB, Python, SIMCA or similar platforms. 

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, combined with a proactive and solution-oriented mindset. 

Experience with advanced process monitoring, digital manufacturing initiatives or continuous process verification will be considered an advantage.
