Location:
Søborg, Capital Region of Denmark, DK
Join us for a new opportunity where you can influence and support the direction of the area and play a key role in the future aseptic production in Novo Nordisk.
Your new role
As an Advanced/Senior Manufacturing Development Scientist, you will be working on tasks related to:
- Execution of drug product productions for phase 3 clinical trials.
- Spearheading tasks for test runs and process characterization of formulation and filling process parameters.
- Support process validation activities to prepare for large-scale market production.
- Work in close collaboration with colleagues within the department and with various stakeholders.
This position offers great opportunities for building a large network, since you will be working with both development departments and production sites – Novo Nordisk’s own sites, as well as with Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). Depending on this, the role may involve up to approximately 20 travel days per year, primarily to the EU and the US.
This is an opportunity that provides the chance to work in a professionally challenging setting alongside a highly engaged and supportive team. The job includes a creative work environment with excellent opportunities for developing both professional and personal competences.
Your new department
In Product Supply Aseptic Manufacturing (PS AM), we produce a large portfolio of products fighting serious chronic diseases worldwide.

- Drug Product Introduction Sciences Omega,
- Submissions and Reference Materials,
- Scientific Advisory & Development Expertise.
NPI’s main responsibility is to ensure a smooth transition of development products into large-scale production and market approval. The position is within the New Manufacturing Processes Alpha team, a group of 13 highly skilled employees. The team develops, upscales and implements aseptic production processes (formulation and filling) for new products in the development pipeline. We work in cross-functional project groups but are united to meet team goals and share experience and knowledge.
Your skills & qualifications
The qualifications we value include having:
- A min. bachelor’s degree in natural science, pharmaceutical design and engineering, or similar field.
- Solid experience within aseptic production or manufacturing within a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment.
- Hands-on experience with aseptic formulation, filling systems, and knowledge of validation activities.
- Familiarity with regulatory documentation.
- Full professional proficiency in English.
As a person, you have excellent collaboration and communication skills and are an individual who prioritizes team success above personal achievements. You are self-driven and ambitious and are comfortable in a setting with unknowns and several stakeholders, where our actions make a real impact.
Working in a dynamic and complex environment calls for adaptability, a strong willingness to learn, and the ability to remain composed in challenging situations—always be ready to provide to and receive support from a dedicated team. A quality-focused mindset, combined with solid time-management and planning skills, is essential to meet ambitious deadlines this team has been faced with. Collaboration is highly valued, and the role involves working closely with others to ensure the successful completion of high-priority tasks.
