(Senior) Regulatory Affairs Professional, RA Obesity - Maternity cover

Do you have a talent for navigating complex regulatory landscapes and driving strategic initiatives? Are you eager to contribute to the rapid development of a high impact program?  

If you are passionate about regulatory science and committed to bringing innovative medicines to market, then we invite you to apply and join Novo Nordisk as a (Senior) Regulatory Professional for a 12-month maternity cover. 

The position 

As a (Senior) Regulatory Professional you will be working within the RA Obesity therapeutic area in one of our key projects that is currently progressing rapidly towards End-of-Phase 2 interactions and initiation of a large phase 3 program in multiple indications within obesity, diabetes and other related conditions. In this role, you will join a large and growing regulatory team and be responsible for driving several regulatory tasks with challenging and often overlapping timelines. Therefore, this role entails interactions with various stakeholders throughout the organization. 

Your responsibilities may include: 

• Contribute with regulatory expertise to global strategies and tactics 
• Develop regulatory documentation for submission to Health Authorities globally, e.g. clinical trial applications, briefing packages, paediatric plans, and responses to health authority questions 
• Represent Global Regulatory Affairs in global clinical trial teams and other cross-functional teams 
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders such as project managers, medical and non-medical specialists, statisticians, and medical writers 

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 office-based work in Søborg, Denmark where our team is based. 

Qualifications 

To thrive and succeed in this position you should have: 

• A master’s degree or PhD within Life Science, Health Science, or a related field  
• Solid and hands-on regulatory and/or drug development experience 
• Experience from working on clinical development programs from phase 2 to phase 3 is an advantage   
• Advanced communication skills in both written and spoken English 
• Strong IT/digital skills 

Personally, you thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and actively contribute to the team's success. You should be well-organised, possess robust problem-solving capabilities, and maintain a strategic focus. A positive, can-do attitude is crucial, as is the ability to keep your spirits high and maintain a healthy sense of humour under pressure.
