Job description

Are you an experienced Project Director with a proven track record, strong technical background and solid manufacturing process understanding? Do you want to work in an international environment where cultural awareness is one of your main tools? Would you like a position where your performance will have direct impact on the life of the patients? Then this position would be your dream come true! Apply today and join our GCM DP LM Projects on the exiting and ambitious journey to further strengthen the outcome of our international projects!

The Position

As a Project Director in GCM DP LM Projects you will have the opportunity to take lead in one of our most important projects. You will be responsible for a Green Field project for a state-of-the-art new manufacturing site covering all the Novo Nordisk manufacturing process and our newest products.

The project must be executed in a strong collaboration with our Contract Manufacturing Organisation (CMO) partner in Saudi Arabia with a robust Technology Transfer between Novo Nordisk (NN) and the partner as the main objective. That includes:

• Building competences among the Saudi Arabian team and ensuring that all Novo Nordisk processes requirements are met.
• acting as a leader among the NN team and a mentor towards the Saudi Arabian partner
• ensuring that all Novo Nordisk best practise solutions are brought to CMO partner
• being the cornerstone in the communication between the CMO partner, GCM DP and NN affiliate in Riyadh.
• supporting the CMO partner in building the right manufacturing organization including processes and systems.

In the early stages of the project your psychical location will be defined by your current location. Most of the work can be in a virtual setting with some travelling to Denmark and Saudi Arabia. Later, when the project activities will be mainly at the construction site of the CMO partner (in Riyadh), your job will transform into an expat position until the completion of the project. You can read about Saudi Arabia here , and their Health Sector Transformation Program here .

You will be supported by a NN project team of senior project managers and subject matter experts. Several will be joining you under expat terms for longer periods during the peak periods of the project as well as during the ramp-up phase. Other team members will support the project virtually and through frequent travels to Saudi Arabia.

To be considered for this position, we expect you to:

• hold an advanced degree in Engineering or any relevant field
• have at least 10 years of Project or Production Management experience, especially in an international, multicultural environment.
• Be familiar with setting and achieving short- and long-term goals with partners internally and externally.
• Be fluent in English both written and spoken.

It would be considered as an advantage if you have a previous experience with Technology Transfer.

As a person, you have a natural way of communication with stakeholders at all levels which allows you to inspire your project team to reach ambitious goals and work closely with the partner team. You know how to balance between driving things forward individually and involving important stakeholders and being inspired from other colleagues. Last but not least, you possess a natural flair for working with people with different backgrounds and respect different ways of thinking.
