You will join Computerised Laboratory Systems (CLAS), a growing organisation within LIMS, Planning & Ecosystems (LPE), led by Søren Vodsgaard. CLAS was established to bring together Laboratory IT, IT Compliance, and specialised laboratory system expertise from across Novo Nordisk into one enterprise organisation, with the purpose of ensuring that computerised laboratory systems become a competitive advantage for Novo Nordisk by delivering scalable, secure, and compliant solutions. Today, CLAS consists of 40+ specialists across laboratory IT, compliance, validation, architecture, and operations – acting as the bridge between laboratory organisations and Enterprise IT, and partnering closely with scientists, vendors, infrastructure teams, and cybersecurity professionals to deliver and operate the systems that power laboratory work.
