Medical Writing Specialist - Medical Devices

Are you passionate about medical devices and drug-device combinations, and are you able to set direction and lead product innovation from a medical writing perspective? If yes, you might be the one we are looking for as experienced Device Medical Writer, where you will be driving clinical documentation for medical devices and make significant impact! 

Your new role

In this specialist Medical Writer role with focus on medical devices, you will contribute with deep scientific expertise and strategic thinking. In this role your main tasks are to drive progress of clinical submission documents while also acting as a key driver for alignment, collaboration, and process improvements across device development projects. 

You will:

• Act as project/product lead medical writer, supporting peer medical writers, managing incoming tasks, and tracking progress to ensure deadlines are met.
• Manage stakeholder relationships to drive the writing process and facilitate decision-making. Work independently and as part of a cross-functional team in a dynamic environment with tight deadlines.
• Drive document preparation and coordination – for submission to regulatory authorities – including clinical evaluation plans, clinical evaluation reports and Q&A interactions with health authorities. You will likely also prepare related documents such as meeting packages, device clinical trial protocols, device investigator’s brochures, summary documents and other documents relating to interpretation and documentation of clinical data. We cover all medical device projects within Novo Nordisk’s product portfolio. 
• Have a genuine interest in scientific communication, and you know how to communicate complex information in a clear and concise manner – for this you must be thorough and structured while being pragmatic and not afraid of challenging the status quo.
• Have a can-do attitude. 

This role is office‑based in Søborg, Denmark, and you will collaborate closely with global colleagues across functions and therapeutic areas.

As such, we are globally oriented, and you will work in close collaboration with colleagues in other skill areas in Denmark and abroad. In addition to your own medical writing tasks, you will mentor and train other medical writers. You might as well work to develop and improve our internal processes and promote the sharing of better practices across areas.

We offer a modern work environment with flexible working and possibility to work from home some days, while your place of work will be anchored in Søborg, Denmark.

Your skills and qualifications 

To be considered for this position you should:

• Hold a university degree in natural or clinical sciences (M.Sc., M.Sc. Pharm or equivalent) and ideally a PhD, and at least 4-5 yrs of relevant medical writing experience. 
• Be an accomplished professional in written and spoken English.
• Have experience with preparing clinical evaluations and trial related documentation for medical devices, software as medical device, drug-device combination products or in-vitro diagnostic products. 
• Have some knowledge about EU-MDR requirements whereas requirements for other big markets will be regarded an asset.

On a personal level you work independently with complex tasks. You handle fluctuating workloads, navigate uncertainty confidently, and communicate clearly by transforming complex data into understandable content. You naturally build relationships, collaborate across cultures, and act as an informal leader and mentor. You think strategically and are comfortable influencing both project and organisational goals.

Your new department
You will join us in Clinical Reporting, which includes the medical writing function at Novo Nordisk. We are part of Research & Development and anchored in Regulatory, Quality & Clinical Reporting. Research & Development is responsible for managing clinical drug and medical device development and regulatory submissions worldwide, from early development phases to market authorisation and keeping products on the market.
