We offer the opportunity for you to use your clinical and research experience, your analytical skills and your creativity to drive the clinical development of innovative treatments that will make a difference for people suffering from chronic metabolic diseases. 

In Global Development, we are responsible for managing clinical drug development worldwide all the way from early development phases to market approval, including life cycle management. We produce medical and scientific documentation for clinical submissions to authorities, ensuring that all processes live up to uniform global standards, regulations and business ethics.

 

About the department

Currently, the department consists of eight medical specialists (MDs) and is expected to grow as we expand our portfolio into new areas.

The position
As a Senior International Medical Director within our NASH team, you will be involved in a great variety of tasks. You will support our activities in NASH biomarker development including representing Novo Nordisk in high level fora within NASH biomarker consortia (collaboration between academia and industry). As part of this role, you will be responsible for driving and coordinating the cross functional biomarker efforts in close collaboration with Global Drug Discovery and other areas. You will evaluate potential NASH biomarkers and you understand how to assess performance characteristics as well as clinical feasibility. 

In addition to above you will support early and late stage clinical NASH projects. Successful candidates are dedicated team players who can provide high-quality and timely medical input to the design and conduct of clinical trials, interpretation of data, documentation of trial results and supporting regulatory submissions and interactions - always maintaining a patient-centric mind-set. 

Working with external advisors/key opinion leaders is an integral part of the job, and naturally you foster fruitful collaborations. Oral presentation internally and externally is a natural part of the job as is publications of trial data.

 

Qualifications

You hold a university degree as a Medical Doctor and have clinical practice experience, ideally from hepatology or endocrinology, and you have documented research experience, such as a PhD, and clinical development experience. Preferably you are experienced in translational medicine, particularly in assessment/validation of biomarkers, and health authority interaction. Importantly, you are a lifelong learner and welcome the opportunity to develop new skills and gain further experience within drug development. 

You thrive in a dynamic and international environment with attention to high quality, high ambitions and results. You have excellent communication skills (proficiency in written and spoken English), as well as strong coordination/planning and collaborative capabilities. Key attributes include analytical and strategic skills, flexibility and ability to prioritise tasks, and you collaborate with many different internal and external stakeholders at all organisational levels, with diverse professional and cultural backgrounds. Up to 15% travelling should be expected.
