Job Title: IT Compliance Partner
Department: Global Manufacturing & Supply IT – Supply Chain
Location: Taastrup, Denmark

Your impact begins here

As IT Compliance Partner, you will act as the key compliance expert and trusted advisor for Supply Chain IT. You will strengthen governance, risk management and compliance practices across a complex and global environment, making sure the critical IT systems supporting Novo Nordisk's pharmaceutical production remain inspection-ready. Your work helps keep the systems behind production, logistics, device manufacturing and global supply chain processes compliant, so our products can keep reaching the people who need them.

What you’ll bring

To succeed in this position, we imagine that you bring a strong combination of technical expertise, compliance knowledge and stakeholder management capabilities, including:

• An MSc or BSc degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Administration or a related field.
• Several years of experience working with IT compliance, validation, quality, governance or regulated IT environments within the pharmaceutical industry.
• Strong knowledge of GxP, cGMP, GAMP, 21 CFR Part 11, ISO and COBIT standards, and validation requirements for business-critical IT systems.
• Experience in advisory or consulting roles where influencing stakeholders and driving change without direct authority has been essential.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage confidently with both technical specialists and senior leaders.

As a person, you are analytical, quality-minded and structured. You are comfortable challenging the status quo, driving new ways of thinking and balancing compliance requirements with business needs. You bring energy, curiosity and the confidence to lead discussions, facilitate alignment and create momentum across diverse stakeholder groups.

What you’ll do

This role combines strategic thinking, tactical planning and operational execution, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working across organisational levels while influencing without direct authority. You will:

• Act as the primary IT compliance partner across Supply Chain IT, providing guidance on governance, risk management, validation and regulatory requirements.
• Drive compliance improvement initiatives, risk reporting activities and standardised ways of working in collaboration with stakeholders and relevant networks across the organisation.
• Support audits and inspections, coordinate remediation plans and ensure findings are effectively addressed.
• Advise projects on IT governance and compliance requirements.
• Build and lead a strong compliance network within Supply Chain, influencing stakeholders and ensuring continuous alignment with evolving regulatory expectations.

Success in this role means quickly establishing credibility, building relationships across a broad stakeholder landscape, assessing the current compliance landscape and proactively driving improvements that enable business success while maintaining high-quality standards.

Who you’ll work with

You will join Global Manufacturing & Supply (GMS) IT within the Supply Chain organisation, a global area responsible for the IT and automation systems that support Novo Nordisk's manufacturing and supply chain operations. The department oversees critical systems that enable production, logistics, device manufacturing and global supply chain processes.

The team is relatively small and highly specialised, made up of experts responsible for key domains across architecture, governance and compliance. While you will be the primary compliance lead within the team, you will collaborate closely with a wider network of compliance professionals, risk coordinators, validation experts, architects, project managers and business stakeholders across Novo Nordisk and the wider Global Manufacturing & Supply network.

Your manager will be Luise Dam, Sr. Director. [Confirm reporting line.]

What you can expect here

You will work in an international, collaborative environment built on knowledge sharing, where specialists have significant ownership and influence on strategic decisions. You will be trusted to make your voice heard, bring your expertise to the table and help set the direction for how compliance is done across Supply Chain IT.

At Novo Nordisk, you’ll join a global healthcare company with a unique culture and strong results. We offer continuous learning, career development and benefits tailored to your life and career stage.
