Your new department

As part of International Operations, you will join our largest operational unit. Covering 194 countries and 95% of the world's population, more than 18,000 of us work passionately to serve 35 million patients each day. With a promise to outperform the competition, we continue to be the growth driver for Novo Nordisk, and to improve health at scale across the globe.

The position is anchored in Customer Engagement & Operations/Strategy of our German organization in Mainz and reports directly to the Senior Director of the department.

Your skills & qualifications

Moreover, we search for candidates who meet the following criteria:

• Degree in business, data science or other relevant field
• A few years of experience in project management experience from either relevant industry (such as e.g. pharma, biotech, or FMCG), either in-house or consulting.

• Solid international and cross-functional working experience
• Proven track record for simultaneously handling daily operations, large recurring deliverables, and complex business projects

• Fluency in written and spoken English is a requirement, while fluent German skills are nice to have.
