Senior RBQM Advisor

Senior RBQM Advisor

Clinical Risk Management & Oversight

Søborg, Denmark or Bangalore, India 

Do you want to make a difference and optimise how we set up and oversee clinical trials in Novo Nordisk? Would you like to contribute to safeguarding participant safety and ensuring data integrity through structured, risk-based approaches?

This is exactly what the RBQM (Risk-Based Quality Management) function is designed to achieve and we’re ready to elevate it even further. We are hiring multiple roles to strengthen our impact and drive meaningful improvements in clinical research efficiency and quality.

Your new role

As a Senior RBQM Advisor, you will take on a key Clinical Risk Manager role and be responsible for embedding risk management principles into clinical trial design and operations. You will work closely with trial teams to identify critical data and processes, assess risks, and develop proportionate monitoring strategies. Clear and confident communication is essential, as you will often explain technical concepts to diverse audiences and facilitate discussions across functions. Your work will directly influence how Novo Nordisk delivers high-quality trials globally.

Key responsibilities include:

• Facilitating risk assessment discussions with trial team members to decide which data and processes are critical for the trial and the handling of risks related to those.
• Supporting development of monitoring strategy for trials by bringing all relevant skill areas into play (CRAs, trial managers, data managers, medical staff).
• Supporting trial risk oversight during conduct.
• Acting as a topic lead or contributor in sub team.

This role is primarily office-based in Søborg, Denmark and aligned with Danish working hours. Some flexibility is expected to collaborate with colleagues across global time zones. There is also the possibility for the position to be based in Bangalore, India, offering an alternative location for suitable candidates.

Your new department 

You will join our RBQM Office which is a Headquarter-department in Clinical Drug Development, located in Denmark.  We are an experienced and highly specialised team, united by a shared purpose to apply proportionate controls across trial design, conduct, oversight, and documentation, focusing effort where risks to participant safety and data reliability are greatest.  We do this by defining and implementing the RBQM framework within Novo Nordisk, as well as leading the behavioural change needed to succeed with RBQM.  Moreover, we deliver business input to the design and implementation of relevant technology solutions that leverage continuous insights from operational clinical trial data, protocol deviations, and issues to proactively identify, prioritize, and mitigate risks.

Your skills and qualifications

We are looking for candidates with experience in risk management within Clinical Operations who can bring both technical expertise and a practical mindset to the team. In this role, you will need strong business understanding to deliver results that matter to stakeholders, the ability to break down complex issues into actionable solutions, and a proactive approach to driving improvements. We value professionals who constructively challenge existing practices, introduce innovative ideas, and strengthen the RBQM domain through collaboration and knowledge sharing.

To succeed in this role, we expect you to have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in natural sciences or other relevant fields.
• 2+ years of experience working in clinical operations within the pharmaceutical industry, preferably with clinical trials and/or RBQM.
• Proven track record with project or process management. 
• Ability to facilitate workshops with multiple and diverse stakeholders.
• Fluency in English, spoken and written.

While clinical pharmacology experience is an advantage for influencing how pharmacology trials are executed under RBQM, it is not a strict requirement. We are open to candidates with a solid foundation in clinical operations and hands-on risk management experience who are eager to grow in this area.

On a personal level, you have a consultative approach and strong facilitation skills to guide discussions, mediate, and support others to make informed decisions. Overall, you are a team player, who enjoys working with others to achieve shared goals, fostering open communication, cooperation and desire to contribute to an active and engaged team.
