About the Department 

In the Risk Management department, we are approximately 26 highly skilled and curious professionals and specialists divided into two teams, that have Safety Risk Management as the common denominator. Safety Risk Management underpins many aspects of medical device development, so our work is integrated into various processes within the development and manufacturing landscape, and our stakeholders have backgrounds in a variety of engineering and scientific disciplines.   

We are part of the Novo Nordisk Devices & Delivery Solutions unit, which is the organization responsible for the development of device solutions for medical self-treatment within all business areas of Novo Nordisk. In our department, we have a wide range of development projects in different phases that we contribute to – from connected devices to purely mechanical pen- and auto-injectors. Our main aspiration is to further advance our offerings to people living with chronic diseases and their healthcare professionals through new technologies. 

Our department has a focus on being the best at what we do, but making sure that we have fun during the process. You will join a dynamic, international, and innovative environment, where highly skilled professionals work closely together to develop next-generation medical devices.
