Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to lead the implementation of analytical methods for new drug products?

If you have a strong foundation in analytical chemistry and are eager to enhance your project management skills, read on! We are seeking an engaged and passionate individual who can drive our projects to success.

The position
As Analytical Project Manager you will be one point of contact for one or more development projects or lifecycle management (LCM) projects in the Analytical Competence Centre. Your goal is to ensure implementation of the analytical activities for drug products in Injectable Finished Products (IFP) or areas outsourced by IFP i.e., at Contract Manufacturing Organisation (CMO).

You will interact with a wide range of stakeholders, e.g., drug product development, areas within IFP Manufacturing Development and production, Regulatory Affairs, Quality Control and Assurance. You will be member of relevant project teams along with technical transfer teams in IFP Manufacturing Development.

The tasks will include responsibilities such as:

  • Ensuring progress, planning, and execution of analytical activities in development or LCM projects.

  • Managing the departments project portfolio and providing professional guidance and sparring to the projects regarding analytical methods incl. validation.

  • Coordinating, preparing and reviewing regulatory documents which are part of the analytical submission package when introducing new drug products, first for late phase development productions, and thereafter for the market.

The job is ideal for a dedicated and result-oriented project manager who enjoys working in a flexible, collaborative, international, and open-minded environment. A few yearly traveling days might be expected.

Qualifications
This position is the natural next step for an experienced project manager but can also be a learning path for someone with less project management experience and a strong background in analytical chemistry. To succeed in this role, we imagine that you have:

  • A scientific academic degree such as chemical engineer, cand.pharm., cand.scient., or similar.

  • Several years of working experience within analytical chemistry combined with knowledge of GMP requirements.

  • Some project management or project coordination experience, either from the Pharma industry or a similar field.

  • Experience with transfer of analytical methods between laboratories and with analytical submission documentation is an advantage.

  • Strong communication skills both in spoken and written English, and you can communicate in Danish or have the desire to learn it.

In addition, you easily collaborate between departments, know your stakeholders well, and are accustomed to presenting project status overviews. You see opportunities in new ideas and thrive in a changing environment with ambitious deadlines.

As a person, you can work independently, are highly motivated, and have a positive mindset.
