IT Compliance Partner  

Global Manufacturing Supply IT – Supply Chain 

Taastrup, Denmark 

Do you thrive at the intersection of IT, compliance, and business partnership? Are you motivated by influencing a global organisation, driving compliance excellence, and ensuring that critical IT systems supporting pharmaceutical production remain inspection-ready? If so, this is your opportunity to join Novo Nordisk's Supply Chain IT organisation and become a trusted partner shaping IT compliance across a global landscape in collaboration with the rest of the Global manufacturing and Supply  network. 

Your new role 

As IT Compliance Partner , you will act as the key compliance expert and trusted advisor for Supply Chain IT. You will play a pivotal role in strengthening governance, risk management, and compliance practices across a complex and global environment supporting Novo Nordisk's manufacturing and supply chain operations. This role combines strategic thinking, tactical planning, and operational execution, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working across organisational levels while influencing without direct authority.  

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Acting as the primary IT compliance partner across Supply Chain IT, providing guidance on governance, risk management, validation, and regulatory requirements. 

• Driving compliance improvement initiatives, risk reporting activities, and standardised ways of working in collaboration with stakeholders and relevant networks across the organisation. 

• Supporting audits and inspections, coordinating remediation plans, and ensuring findings are effectively addressed. 

• Advising projects on IT governance and compliance requirements. 

• Building and leading a strong compliance network within Supply Chain, influencing stakeholders and ensuring continuous alignment with evolving regulatory expectations. 

Success in this role requires someone who can quickly establish credibility, build relationships across a broad stakeholder landscape, assess the current compliance landscape, and proactively drive improvements that enable business success while maintaining high-quality standards. 

Your new department 

You will join Global Manufacturing & Supply (GMS) IT within the Supply Chain organisation, a global area responsible for IT and automation solutions that support Novo Nordisk's manufacturing and supply chain operations. The department oversees critical systems that enable production, logistics, device manufacturing, and global supply chain processes. 

The team is relatively small and highly specialised, consisting of experts responsible for key domains across architecture, governance, and compliance. While you will be the primary compliance lead within the team, you will collaborate closely with a wider network of compliance professionals, risk coordinators, validation experts, architects, project managers, and business stakeholders across Novo Nordisk. The environment is international, collaborative, and built on knowledge sharing, where specialists have significant ownership and influence on strategic decisions.  

Your skills and qualifications 

To succeed in this position, we imagine that you bring a strong combination of technical expertise, compliance knowledge, and stakeholder management capabilities. 

We are looking for someone who has: 

• A MSc or BSc degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field. 

• Several years of experience working with IT compliance, validation, quality, governance, or regulated IT environments, within the pharmaceutical industry. 

• Strong knowledge of GxP, cGMP, GAMP, 21 CFR Part 11, ISO (COBIT) standards, and validation requirements for business-critical IT systems. 

• Experience operating in advisory or consulting roles where influencing stakeholders and driving change without direct authority has been essential. 

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage confidently with both technical specialists and senior leaders.  

As a person, you are analytical, quality-minded, and structured. You are comfortable challenging the status quo, driving new ways of thinking, and balancing compliance requirements with business needs. You bring energy, curiosity, and the confidence to lead discussions, facilitate alignment, and create momentum across diverse stakeholder groups.
