Project Manager, Medical&Regulatory Department
International Operations
Poland

Shape the future of medical affairs in Poland by leading projects that bring science closer to patients. From medical congresses to digital programs and real-world evidence, you'll be at the heart of initiatives that turn medical strategy into measurable impact.

Your new role
As a Project Manager in Medical and Regulatory Team, you will plan, coordinate, and deliver assigned medical initiatives across Poland – spanning medical congresses, digital medical programs, Real-World Evidence (RWE), Investigator-Sponsored Studies (ISS), and publications. You'll ensure compliant execution, high-quality content, and effective collaboration with KOLs and cross-functional teams to drive successful medical delivery.

Day-to-day your tasks will include:

• Leading end-to-end project management for medical initiatives, including project plans, timelines, milestones, risks, dependencies, and governance reporting to Medical/Regulatory Director
• Organising and managing medical congress/internal meetings activities – from planning and execution support to post-event follow-up – and coordinating compliant KOL engagement together with the Medical Affairs team
• Coordinating execution of digital medical programs, ensuring content readiness, documentation, and compliance checks aligned with medical objectives and project governance
• Driving operational planning and delivery for RWE, ISS, and publication activities, ensuring scientific inputs are routed for review/approval and incorporated into final deliverables
• Partnering with cross-functional teams (Medical, Regulatory, PV/Compliance, Digital/IT, Insights & Analytics, Customer Strategy & Sales, and MAPA) to align medical initiatives with local strategy and priorities while maintaining medical integrity
• Owning budget planning, vendor contracting, and invoice approval for assigned initiatives – tracking spend against plan, supervising vendor execution, and escalating risks where needed
• Ensuring activities follow company SOPs, governance processes, and applicable regulatory/ethics requirements, with full documentation control for audit readiness

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.

Within our Polish affiliate, you'll join the Medical & Regulatory team, reporting to the Director Medical & Regulatory. As an individual contributor in a matrix environment, you'll be the operational engine behind our medical strategy in Poland – connecting science, stakeholders, and execution to ensure every initiative lands with quality, compliance, and measurable impact for patients.

Your skills & qualifications
We're looking for a structured, quality-minded project manager who thrives in a regulated environment and enjoys working across functions to make medical initiatives happen. You'll bring with you:

• A university degree in a life sciences or health-related discipline (or equivalent experience), with a strong understanding of Medical Affairs processes and project delivery in a regulated environment
• Relevant experience managing cross-functional projects in Medical Affairs – for example congresses, digital medical activities, RWE, ISS, or publications – including coordinating KOL-related activities in a compliance-oriented way
• Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Jira, or Smartsheet), Veeva (or equivalent regulated platform), and SharePoint for documentation, versioning, and collaboration
• Strong project planning, organisation, and prioritisation skills, with a quality mindset that values traceability, documentation discipline, and attention to detail
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including KOL-facing coordination, with proactive risk/issue management and the ability to operate effectively in a matrix environment without direct people management responsibility
• Fluency in Polish and English, both written and spoken
