Your new department 

In Product & Portfolio Strategy we drive commercial strategy, medical affairs and business development across all therapy areas.

Within this area, you will join a team at the forefront of market access innovation, working at the intersection of commercial strategy, health economics and payer engagement. Your work will directly influence how millions of patients access treatment, and you will operate with a high degree of independence while collaborating closely with internal teams and external stakeholders. You will represent Novo Nordisk in strategic discussions with private health insurance and employers, advocating for the value of our solutions at the highest levels.
