You will work closely with Project Managers, Project Portfolio Management, Corporate Finance and external vendors, contributing with project controlling disciplines.

You will join M3 Business Support & Services, where we support large‑scale investment projects by providing strong financial governance, transparency and decision support. You will work closely with 18 employees of different backgrounds and team up with another skilled project controller. The team supports the purification plants with finance partnering, supply chain coordination, procurement, training, editors and document support. The department works closely with project organisations across Novo Nordisk and plays an important role in strengthening project execution, portfolio quality and best‑practice sharing across sites. Your base location will be in Kalundborg, with close collaboration across other Novo Nordisk sites.
