The position

As a Senior Clinical Safety professional, you will be responsible for handling adverse events reported world-wide from Novo Nordisk clinical trials to ensure that global regulatory requirements are met. You should use your medical background to evaluate and process individual case safety reports and it is expected that you can provide guidance to colleagues and relevant stakeholders in all case handling aspects.

Your main responsibilities will be focused on:

• Anticipating the impact of changes to case handling processes on interconnected and related processes.
• Contributing to the updates of standard operating procedures (SOPs)/working instructions demonstrating independent Subject Matter Expert expertise within the field of case handling.
• Participation in projects in Global Patient Safety, e.g., contribute to the oversight, support and coordination of outsourcing activities to CRO and ensuring integrations of new molecules in Safety Operations processes.
• Involvement in presentation of Safety Operations processes at inspections and audits.
• Managing dedicated clinical trials, serving as the primary contact from case handling team for relevant stakeholders on larger clinical trials concerning specific safety issues.
• Involvement in the trial initiation phase for all types of clinical trials, where you will ensure trial set-up that supports case handling activities, and you will act as mentor for colleagues on these trials. Moreover, you will be part of our case management trial initiation group.

Your daily responsibilities will include managing deadlines, engaging in cross-functional collaboration, and participating in international communication. 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 Soeborg where our team is based.

Qualifications:

We are looking for a candidate who has the following qualifications:
