By bringing science closer to real life, we develop solutions that help people live healthier lives. Today, more than 67,000 employees worldwide contribute to our purpose: driving change towards lasting health and creating a positive impact for patients, communities and society.

Your impact begins here

As Cardiometabolic Medical Affairs Trainee, you will help get upcoming cardiometabolic launches ready. You will turn scientific evidence into clear, accurate materials, training resources and Medical Information that colleagues in Portugal can rely on. You will own defined projects with structured support and regular feedback. Your work helps make sure people living with serious chronic diseases, and the professionals who support them, receive information that is trusted and ready when it is needed.

What you’ll bring

• A completed bachelor’s or master’s degree with an academic background in Life Sciences.


• Fluent or native-level Portuguese.


• Strong professional English, particularly for reading, interpreting and summarising scientific literature.


• The ability to search, interpret and summarise scientific literature and clinical evidence, and to write clear, accurately referenced summaries, presentations or training resources.


• Scientific rigour, attention to detail and respect for compliance and scientific integrity when working with regulated content.


• Strong organisation, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet agreed deadlines.


• Curious nature and can-do attitude.


• Good command of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.


• A collaborative mindset and confidence working across functions.

Useful, but not essential:

• Academic exposure to the cardiometabolic area.


• Exposure to Medical Affairs, Medical Information, launch projects or digital health communication.


• Familiarity with reference-management tools or scientific databases.


• No previous pharmaceutical-industry experience is required; academic, research, internship or project experience counts.

What you’ll do

You will contribute to cardiometabolic Medical Affairs priorities, with a focus on launch readiness. All materials follow Novo’s review and approval processes, and final scientific accountability stays with Medical, Regulatory and compliance colleagues.

• Coordinate launch-readiness and scientific-material trackers, and support the execution of launch plans.


• Prepare literature reviews, evidence summaries, congress reports and periodic scientific updates.


• Draft scientific response documents, FAQs and content briefs for medical review, and keep Medical Information repositories current, traceable and version controlled.


• Co-own medical affairs activities.


• Develop internal training materials and scientific presentations and adapt approved evidence into consumer-facing educational content.


• Support digital medical engagement, from content planning and deployment to performance monitoring.


• Turn recurring scientific questions, engagement data and evidence gaps into insights, and suggest ways to make scientific knowledge easier to find and reuse.

Who you’ll work with

In International Operations, colleagues work across markets to serve people around the world and help improve health at scale. You will join Medical & Regulatory in Portugal.

Your closest partners will be Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Safety, Quality, Marketing, Sales and Communication/Corporate Affairs, alongside launch teams and subject-matter experts. Where needed, and under supervision, you will also work with external scientific, content, digital and event partners. When scientific questions or compliance concerns come up, you will raise them early with the relevant Medical lead, so the work keeps moving with clarity.

What you can expect here

You will take clear ownership of your projects, supported by a structured development plan and regular feedback. Working across Medical and the functions around a launch, you will build new skills, make your voice heard and see how your work contributes to progress for people living with serious chronic diseases.
