About the department
As the Senior Global DEIB Manager, you will report to our Vice President and Global Head of DEIB at Novo Nordisk. Our department is responsible for shaping and executing the global DEIB strategy, which is crucial to our mission of driving innovation and fostering sustainable growth.

You'll join a dynamic team of six highly skilled professionals and engaged members. Please note that this is a temporary, 11-month position covering parental leave.

You will be part of strategic dialogues and business-critical initiatives within the DEIB agenda and often crossfunctionally with senior stakeholders across Novo Nordisk. Other responsibilities will include:

• Leading change management sessions, develop and implement DEIB tools and re-sources, scale impactful local initiatives globally, and design and manage communication for different internal channels.
• Strategic planning, project management and knowledge of DEIB principles and methodologies, to helpful drive meaningful stakeholder engagement.
