Join Novo Nordisk (37.000 employees) and help us maintain the position as the world leader in diabetes care by making a difference within strategic sourcing. We have an engaged and people focused culture, which is strongly founded on the Novo Nordisk Way.
About the department
Strategic Sourcing is the central sourcing unit in Novo Nordisk’s Product Supply division, and we are responsible for the strategic sourcing activities related to Novo Nordisk’s worldwide pharmaceutical production sites as well as global management of suppliers. Strategic Sourcing is currently based in Hillerød, but will move to Bagsværd in April 2014.
The job
The Primary Packaging category includes packaging materials in direct contact with our pharmaceutical products. As Associate Category Manager you will work together with the Category Manager for Primary Packaging who is heading up the category.
You will have an opportunity to work both individually as well as in close collaboration with Strategic Sourcing colleagues as well as with many stakeholders across the organization. You will be responsible for selected sourcing activities in the category, including supplier relationship management, category - and item strategies, risk mitigating activities, selection & approval of suppliers, negotiation and contracting, various reporting activities and budgeting processes, etc.

We are seeking candidates with a Master degree in Business administration, or equivalent educational level. The candidate must have minimum two years of relevant working experience with procurement and/or related and relevant areas within a multinational organization.

The job requires you to manage a broad range of contacts in Novo Nordisk as well as with suppliers worldwide. Hence, solid communication skills and the ability to work in a complex and dynamic organization while retaining focus on overall goals are prerequisites. As the category activities are global, you should expect 20-30 days of travel activity annually. Engagement and a positive attitude, demonstrated by good cooperation skills, are further required.
At Novo Nordisk, we create value by putting patients first. Every ten seconds two people are diagnosed with diabetes, and close to 366 million people worldwide need us. Working here is not just a way to make a living, but a way to make a diffrence.
