About the department
The Biostatistics function currently consists of 210 statisticians and statistical programmers globally. Of these, approximately 160 are situated in Denmark, where we are organised in departments supporting each of our large development projects (e.g. Haemophilia, Semaglutide, Insulin or Obesity). Novo Nordisk has a broad R&D pipeline and most of our statistical work is done in-house, thus we offer a wide variety of statistical challenges and provide a strong scientific community. We are organised in smaller units for each clinical project to ensure close collaboration with our various stakeholders.

Biostatistics is a very dynamic area which cooperates with many different professionals in the organisation both within Denmark and across borders with our affiliates in India, China and Japan as well as our outsourcing partners in India and Europe.

Ensuring quality in the work, continuous improvements of the team and process development will be essential in the job. You will also be responsible for the department budget. Together with the International Project Statistician and the International Lead Programmer in your team, you will have the overall responsibility for the biostatistical tasks in the project worldwide.

As part of the Biostatistics management team, you will anticipate new challenges and needs for the Biostatistics department. We expect you to take part in the maintenance and innovation of Biostatistics as a good and challenging place to work. Building and maintaining good business and working relationships with internal and external groups is essential in the management role.

Your workplace will be in Søborg and travelling abroad could be expected 1-2 times per year.
