• Minimum 8 years of experience in commercial analytics, market research, CRM/insights or related roles.
• Proven experience leading analytics and insights delivery in complex, cross-functional environments.
• Strong knowledge of evidence sources such as IQVIA/in-market data, patient registry approaches and CRM/market research integration, and consumer data.
• Demonstrated capability in building customer insights and translating them into concrete commercial actions.

• Experience with AI, machine learning or LLM-enabled analytics in a commercial insights context.
• Experience working in a consumer-driven healthcare or pharmaceutical environment.
• Familiarity with agile ways of working for analytics delivery.

What You'll Do

You will lead the Commercial Insights & Analytics team and set the strategic direction for how data and insights drive commercial decisions in the Danish affiliate.

• Define and own the Danish CI&A strategy in alignment with affiliate priorities, translating consumer, HCP and market data into clear, action-oriented recommendations.
• Lead the consumer insight agenda - using social media listening, consumer data, predictive analytics and segmentation to build a consumer-obsessed mindset and identify engagement opportunities.
• Drive structured "insights days" to synthesise evidence into clear actions, decisions and follow-up across functions and stakeholders.
• Create end-to-end analytics frameworks and dashboards that enable faster decision-making cycles, continuous performance monitoring and early detection of opportunities.
• Orchestrate cross-functional alignment by establishing forums, cadences and decision pathways that move from insight to action with a strong return-on-investment foundation.
• Coach and develop your team, building capabilities in market intelligence, customer analytics, consumer insights, experimentation and data literacy - including adoption of new technology such as AI.

Who You'll Work With

You will lead a team of five in Commercial Insights & Analytics, reporting to the Director, Marketing & Commercial Excellence. Together, you are part of the Danish affiliate within International Operations.

Your closest partners span multiple functions within Novo Denmark - marketing, medical, sales, partnerships and beyond. You will also connect with counterparts across Business Area West, Region Europe & Canada and headquarters, keeping an eye on practices in other markets and bringing the best of them back to Denmark. Externally, you will work with vendors and networks that support analytics, research and innovation.

This is a role where connecting different perspectives, creating clarity and moving at speed across functions directly strengthens how the affiliate competes and delivers.

What You Can Expect Here

You will work in an environment where curiosity, data-driven thinking and honest feedback are valued. The role gives you the opportunity to shape how an entire affiliate uses insights - building capability, raising the bar and making a tangible difference in how commercial decisions are made.

You will be trusted to set direction, coach your team and drive real progress. The pace is high, the ambition is clear, and your expertise will be central to how the organisation learns, adapts and wins.

Salary: For this role, the Annual Base Salary ranges from 742,560.00 to 1,091,600.00 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.
