Qualifications
You are interested in project management, communication, and optimization of processes, and you are currently enrolled in a relevant Master's degree in the fields of Communication, Business Administration, Project Management, Organisational Development, Business Strategy, Supply Chain, or equivalent.
To succeed in this role, you:

  • Are proactive, forward-thinking, and motivated by making an impact
  • Have a solution-oriented and strategic mindset
  • Practice a can-do attitude and be supportive by nature
  • Have proficiency in using PowerPoint, SharePoint, Teams, and other relevant tools for data analysis, presentations, and project management
  • Are a strong communicator with fluency in English (oral and written)

About The Department
Global Strategic Outsourcing & Devices (GSOD) is one of two direct sourcing units in Product Supply. We support Novo Nordisk's growth by working strategically with Product Supply’s direct spend and how we safeguard: Cost, quality, capacity, risk, and sustainability in our outsourced products and devices. Our sister unit is responsible for the inbound supply of materials and services. Combined, the two units are responsible for the medium and long-term strategic sourcing activities for all of Product Supply. We are currently located in Novo Nordisk Headquarters in Bagsværd but expect to move to Novo Nordisk’s new site in Taastrup at the end of 2024.
The internship position is anchored in the newly established Business Support team in GSOD, which is a staff function that secures progress on cross-unit organizational strategies and initiatives and responds to requests and direction set by surrounding functions concerning strategy, compliance, communication, process optimizations, budgets, and the like.
