Do you have a strategic mind-set coupled with a strong personal drive and solid project management skills? Are you motivated by driving change and supporting strategic procurement projects in an international environment with multiple stakeholders? Do you have ambitions for pursuing a career in Novo Nordisk and further develop skills within procurement and project management – then you are the person we are looking for.
About the department
Corporate Procurement is, in close cooperation with international affiliates and stakeholders, responsible for the sourcing and purchasing of the global indirect spend in Novo Nordisk. Corporate Procurement has more than 100 employees and is part of Corporate Finance. You will be part of a newly established department responsible for driving the Global Category Management Programme, which is a key strategic initiative in Corporate Finance. The main objective is to support the establishment of globally aligned category strategies across key indirect spend categories. This entails close cooperation with multiple stakeholders from all areas of the organisation, including international sourcing units, Marketing, Finance, R&D, IT etc.
The job
As a Project Manager you will take part in the continued development of the Global Category Management Programme. You will be working closely with the Category Managers to design and execute on the establishment of global category strategies that challenge the status quo, takes the category to the next level, and delivers value to the organisation. Your key responsibility will be to ensure effective project management during the strategy development process and act as a partner to the Category Manager. In collaboration, you will investigate industry best practice, analyse business needs, manage and align with stakeholders globally, identify improvement levers and establish a governance setup for the category management. The key to success will be your ability to quickly grasp category-specific knowledge and to apply a structured approach to problem solving, in order to identify the essentials and prepare clear and effective communication to the global organisation. Each category strategy is subject to approval by international senior management representatives.
Qualifications
The person we are looking for has completed a relevant Master's Degree (e.g. economics, business administration or supply chain management) with excellent results. Ideally, you have been working 2-5 years as a Consultant, Project Manager or Category Manager with experience in managing multiple stakeholders in an international environment. Sourcing experience is not a prerequisite – but an interest in developing within this field is essential. As a person, you have a high drive and persistence. You are a team player and enjoy working and sparring with colleagues to reach optimal results. Through your previous assignments you have developed excellent project and change management skills. You possess strong analytical capabilities and are able to prepare clear and concise presentations.
In Novo Nordisk it is your skills, commitment and ambitions that help us improve the lives of millions of people across the world. In return we offer you the opportunity to work with talented colleagues in a dynamic international environment, and a wide range of opportunities for professional and personal development.
