Your new department

Aseptic Manufacturing Engineering (AME) plays a key role in accelerating a major transformation to improve performance across our global network of factories in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. This supports the growing number of people living with diabetes and obesity.

AME is an organisational unit within Aseptic Manufacturing (AM). With more than 9,000 employees, AM is a truly global organisation responsible for producing products to defeat serious chronic diseases. For more information, please visit https://www.novonordisk.com.

You will join Production Support in the Aseptic Manufacturing Security team. The team is newly established and has led the implementation of formal governance within Aseptic Manufacturing for handling security projects and escalations. Currently, the team consists of two project managers and one Associate Programme Director, supporting site projects across existing production sites (11) and expansion projects (4).

We monitor security projects and incidents globally and support the prioritisation of security initiatives in alignment with Corporate Global Security, who define the requirements. We collaborate across the organisation, embrace continuous learning, and apply the project management approach best suited to each local project—recognising that countries and cultures adopt different methodologies. At the same time, we operate within a common project model and governance framework for large-scale initiatives to ensure consistent oversight and delivery.

• A BSc degree or higher in IT, engineering, project management or a related analytical field, or equivalent practical experience
• A proven track record with a minimum of 5-8 years of project delivery in large organisations (demonstrated results are more important than formal certifications)
• Strong planning, stakeholder management and vendor management skills, with the ability to take ownership across functions
• Experience working in global environments with multiple internal and external stakeholders and navigating diverse cultural contexts
• Fluency in English with strong communication skills and the ability to work independently and across cultures
