Lean Consultant
- LEAN
- Denmark - Hillerød
Do you strive for developing a LEAN culture among leaders and employees in an exciting organisation? Is the LEAN mindset a natural part of your working behaviour? Are you strong at facilitation, coaching, process optimization, problem solving and eager to create continuous improvements in an organisation dealing with development projects and pilot production?
About the department
You will support the whole Device Manufacturing Development (DMD) organisation and have a key role in implementing the LEAN strategy and plans. DMD is a young project organisation comprising more than 250 dedicated employees striving to make us the best manufacturing development partner of medical devices. Our goal is to build superior quality into device products. Our challenge is to execute an increasing portfolio of diverse development projects and bring them fast to market. The position is a part of our LEAN team anchored in the Business Support department. We are a small team supporting the management group in the LEAN journey.
The Job
You will be responsible for teaching, supporting, and coaching leaders and employees in LEAN together with the rest of our LEAN team. The main tasks will be coaching of leaders with regards to performance board meetings and systematic problem solving. The challenge is to make the LEAN concepts meaningful in a project organisation as well as in a flexible pilot production. In addition to LEAN implementation you will also be expected to facilitate and take the lead when critical problem solving is taking place.
An important part of the position is to build a strong relationship to the management group and to the project managers in DMD in order to ensure and support a LEAN approach in all business areas - a LEAN approach which should create both short and long-term results anchored appropriately in the organisation.
We can offer you a challenging job where you have the opportunity to influence the development of LEAN in an exceptional organisation. Further you have the opportunity to develop your professional and personal skills in a dynamic working environment with highly competent colleagues.
Qualifications
You have an academic degree in business administration, engineering or similar, and you have at least a couple of years of experience with LEAN implementation.
We expect you to have large experience within facilitation, coaching, performance board meetings and systematic problem solving and you have built up strong project- and stakeholder management skills. You have a good understanding of the Supply Chain and experience with LEAN in pharmaceutical production is an advantage. A technical background is an advantage; otherwise you should be fast at gaining the necessary understanding of the technical details to be able to facilitate problem solving or other processes.
As a person you are responsible, pro-active and co-operate easily at all levels. You work independently, have a strong drive with focus on execution and results and you are keen at taking initiatives.
You are analytical and good at seeing potential improvements while being able to coach leaders and employees to see the potential themselves. Last but not least, you have excellent communication skills and are fluent in written and spoken English.
At Novo Nordisk, we strive for excellence. As a world leader in diabetes care and a major player in haemostasis management, growth hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy, we offer our employees opportunities for continuous growth.
