Purpose

A job with a purpose

Joining us, you’ll be part of the fight against life-threatening infections and antimicrobial resistance. Because our solutions are critical when every second counts. Several of our products are on the WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines, and we deliver API’s to over 500 pharmaceutical companies in more than 80 countries.

We’re 100% owned by Novo Holdings, headquartered in Copenhagen, and have production facilities in Denmark, Hungary and China – and we’re proud to be market leaders within our field.

It means a great deal to me that what we produce can fight infections and potentially save lives. It creates a very special energy and atmosphere.

Growth

Create your own path

We love the curious minds who can’t help but improve what can be made better. With us, you’ll get the freedom to take initiative, explore and try new things. We’re rarely many colleagues with the same profile, so there’s plenty of opportunity to go beyond your job description, gain responsibility and grow in more areas. That’s why we know you’ll learn more here in a single year than you would in most other places.

Sandra talks about how warmly she was welcomed as a new employee at Xellia.

I started out as an operator and didn’t know much about pharma. My managers have always shown me great trust, and it’s been amazing to start “on the floor” and build my knowledge from the ground up. Several of my colleagues have taken different internal development paths.

Expertise

Do what you do best

We believe that you excel when you get to do what you do best. Whether you’re a specialist, an operator, or something else entirely, we’ll give you the time and space to immerse yourself in your profession. And because we’re evolving, you’ll get the opportunity to influence our direction. Your ideas are welcome – and can optimize our processes, the way we collaborate and our future path. Because we know that when we give you freedom and responsibility, we grow and so do you.

I like the openness we have when it comes to sharing our expertise. We often share our knowledge, no matter our level of experience. And I gain so much from that.

The individual

We’re not alike – and that’s the whole idea

You’ll be part of a community where we appreciate being sociable and helping each other across teams. Everyone can join the conversation and all ideas are welcome. We share our opinions and our knowledge – because we believe that we’ll get further when we uplift each other. You’ll be met by respect no matter which phase of your life you’re in – and there’s room to be who you truly are. Because what makes you different makes us better.

Our central location on Amager and in Christianshavn enables an easy-going everyday life – because who wants to spend all their time in traffic?

Andreas talks about how well his team works together.

In my team, no two colleagues are alike. We are many different types of people. It creates a great energy where we’re able to handle each and every task.
