Senior Validation Professional

Senior Validation Professional

Are you an experienced validation professional who thrives in complex stakeholder landscapes and wants to play a leading role in ensuring IT compliance across cutting-edge pharmaceutical laboratories?

In this role you will bring your validation expertise to bear across CMC Analysis and Characterisation. Driving compliance standards, influencing how validation is approached across departments, and ensuring that laboratory IT systems and computerised equipment meet the highest regulatory requirements. Your work will directly support Novo Nordisk's pipeline and ultimately the patients who depend on our medicines.

Your New Role

As a Senior Validation Professional you will be a go-to expert in IT validation and compliance within your team and across a broad stakeholder landscape. You will work with significant independence, set direction within your area, and are expected to identify better ways of working and drive improvements. Not just execute within existing frameworks.

You can expect to drive and own:

• Defining validation requirements across projects. Translating complex business and regulatory needs into clear, executable validation strategies
• Building and owning validation plans, test protocols, and comprehensive documentation that is always audit-ready
• Leading the preparation and sign-off of validation reports, applying sound regulatory judgment when situations are not straightforward
• Taking a leading role in audits and inspections. Presenting documentation with confidence and protecting the organisation from regulatory exposure
• Owning IT security, data integrity, and compliance standards across laboratory systems and proactively identifying gaps before they become issues
• Driving alignment on validation standards and compliance approaches across departments and with corporate IT. Influencing without always having direct authority
• Keeping the full validation documentation landscape current. SOPs, protocols, test plans, change requests, and deviations. And improving the processes that govern them
• Playing an active and influential role when new laboratory technologies are introduced. Shaping how they are validated and implemented from the start

Your New Area

In CMC Analysis and Characterisation, you will be part of a key area that drives impact across the Novo Nordisk pipeline. We strive to stay close to our stakeholders in the business to ensure we deliver on their needs, helping reach millions of people living with serious chronic diseases.

You will join the area as part of our Analytical Execution and Technology department in the IT and Equipment team. The team consists of around 15 highly skilled colleagues CMC Analysis and Characterisation laboratories with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise, located in Måløv.

Your Skills and Qualifications

We are looking for a colleague who takes clear ownership, demonstrates subject matter expertise, and operates with a high degree of independence. You are confident navigating complex stakeholder landscapes, comfortable challenging the status quo, and motivated by finding smarter ways to ensure compliance without compromising on quality.

You will bring:

• A Master's degree in IT, Science, Engineering, or a related field
• +5 years of experience from IT validation including computerised system validation in a GxP context
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, make sound judgment calls, and drive results with minimal guidance
• Strong stakeholder management skills. You can align, influence, and build trust across departments and organisational levels
• Experience with or solid understanding of relevant regulatory frameworks and audit processes

Experience from a laboratory environment is an advantage. What is non-negotiable is your validation expertise, your regulatory judgment, and your ability to operate as a true subject matter expert.
