As Integration Project Manager, you will coordinate that data from acquisitions reaches the people who need it, when they need it. You will quickly understand the deliverables, form a plan and align stakeholders behind shared priorities and goals. Your work keeps projects moving and builds a stronger approach for future integrations.

What you’ll bring

You combine structured delivery with strong stakeholder management and a practical understanding of data integration. You bring:

• Substantial experience leading complex projects across functions and organisational boundaries.
• A track record of aligning senior stakeholders, clarifying accountability and driving delivery without direct authority.
• Experience translating business needs into coordinated plans and managing dependencies, risks and competing priorities.
• An understanding of data migration or integration, including how business processes, data and IT systems relate to each other.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to make complex topics clear and actionable.
• The ability to take ownership, build trust, create momentum and work through ambiguity, challenging assumptions constructively.

Useful, but not essential:

Experience with M&A integration, pharmaceutical R&D, CMC or Quality.

What you’ll do

• You will take ownership of the planning, coordination and governance of data integration, and help teams move forward when information is incomplete or circumstances change.
• Establish and drive cross-functional data integration plans with clear scope, milestones, ownership and governance.
• Align business and technical stakeholders on data requirements, priorities and delivery expectations.
• Coordinate dependencies across R&D, CMC, Quality, IT and Business Development.
• Identify and manage risks, issues and resource constraints, and **escalate** decisions when needed.
• Give senior stakeholders clear updates on progress, risks and decisions.
• Develop and improve ways of working for data integration, applying lessons learned across projects.

Who you’ll work with

You will join Integration Data Management in Operations and IT Quality, and work closely with colleagues across the business. In Enterprise IT & Quality, colleagues work across the Novo value chain, staying close to stakeholders and helping deliver trusted technology, high quality and responsible ways of working.

Your closest partners will be colleagues in R&D, CMC, GMS Quality, Enterprise IT and Business Development.. You will manage competing priorities across multiple projects, so success depends on autonomy, sound judgement and the ability to influence without direct authority. Clear priorities, honest conversations and quick decisions will help you move each integration forward.

What you can expect here

Our acquisition portfolio creates a varied environment. You will shape how Novo plans and delivers data integration and strengthen our approach for future acquisitions. You will build new skills through collaboration across the value chain, and you will be trusted to take ownership, make your voice heard and perform at your best.

Salary: For this role, the Annual Base Salary ranges from 651,000 to 956,900 DKK, corresponding to the level of the position.

The placement within the salary range will be assessed during the recruitment process based on the candidate’s skills, competencies, knowledge, and relevant experience.
