About the department
Safety Surveillance Office is a newly established department within Safety Surveillance in Global Safety and is situated in Søborg, Denmark. In Safety Surveillance, we are 180+ employees and have global responsibility for the surveillance of all safety information for Novo Nordisk’s products, which are currently marketed or under clinical development.

The department is responsible for ensuring strict compliance with regulations, including overseeing deviations, inspections, and audits. In addition, we drive and oversee the Safety Surveillance Council, ensuring the governance of SOPs and procedures. Another main function is to encompass continuous training efforts, process innovation and optimization, acting as a point of contact for onboarding and due diligences, serving as a centre of expertise for product integrations, and driving the execution of Data Monitoring Committees across the Safety Surveillance function.
 

The position
In this position, you will be responsible for organising and aligning our onboarding programme and the training of our new employees. You will play a key role in defining and implementing relevant learning methodologies and supporting technologies to enhance the learner experience and output. You will further be responsible for driving initiatives for innovative, fit-for-purpose process optimisation and training.

You will get the opportunity both to work independently and in collaboration with a team of highly skilled, committed, and enthusiastic colleagues across our global hubs in Global Safety and across the functional areas in Novo Nordisk. Assuming responsibility, communicating information and taking action will be essential parts of your workday.

Our commitment to innovation also applies to the way we work. We therefore embrace the hybrid workplace – with a blend of home office in Denmark and on-site work in Søborg, Denmark where our team is based.
 

Qualifications
As an ideal candidate, we imagine you have:

• A university degree within Medicine or Natural Sciences: Doctor of Medicine (MD), Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), Master of Science in Pharmacy (MSc Pharm) or equivalent; preferably complemented by a PhD
• Extensive experience and solid understanding of processes and regulatory requirements within pharmacovigilance
• A strong insight into the value chain within a pharma company
• Proven track record in establishing effective learning and development governance and working closely with stakeholders to ensure it creates value 
• The ability to work independently in a continuously developing environment

As a person, you take a positive and pragmatic approach to problem solving and you are eager to optimise and simplify processes around you. You are proactive, courageous, determined and have strong communication and interpersonal skills. You are curious and you have a risk-based mindset as well as a can-do attitude. You are goal-oriented, a team player and you thrive working across skill areas and cultures in a global organisation.

Working at Novo Nordisk
At Novo Nordisk, we do not wait for change. We drive it. We are a dynamic company in an even more dynamic industry, and we know that what got us to where we are today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future. We embrace the spirit of experimentation, striving for excellence without fixating on perfection. We never shy away from opportunities to develop, we seize them. From research and development, through to manufacturing, marketing and sales – we are all working to move the needle on patient care.
