• Date posted: 12 Dec 2011

The two-year programme will consist of three rotations in different parts of the Novo Nordisk organisation whilst anchored in the Health Economics skill area within Global Development. The aim of the Health Economics Graduate Programme is to develop people through extensive practical health economic work with a strong focus on competencies such as analytical skills, communication, and project management skills.

What you'll be doing
You will be given a broad range of responsibilities and experience a variety of projects from cross-departmental project work and stakeholder management and have assignments within identification of needs, specific analyses, reporting and potential publication of major findings.

You will get a unique insight into the full global development value chain of Novo Nordisk, and you will be part of a highly skilled and motivated international working environment, with dynamic teams, each of which are providing Novo Nordisk with a competitive edge and driving state of the art drug development.

Whilst taking on a broad variety of responsibilities, you will enjoy the privilege of being part of both formal and informal graduate networks. This will allow you to broaden your learning even further, while building your opportunities and relationships across the company.

Scope of the programme
The Health Economics Graduate Programme is tailored to ensure your full personal and professional development, accelerated by prioritised training and dedicated coaching from experienced colleagues.

The programme comprises three rotations during a two-year period. The first rotation will be in the Health Economics & HTA department, HQ in Denmark. The main purpose of this rotation is an introduction to the department's areas of responsibilities and at least one of our key projects, and to gain hands-on experience e.g. assisting experienced staff in developing health economic strategies.

In the second rotation we normally send the graduate to one of our affiliates like USA, UK, China, or other. This will give the graduate insight into health economics work from a local perspective related to use and communication of results to external stakeholders and a better understanding of the collaboration between Novo Nordisk headquarter and local markets.

The third rotation will most likely take place in Novo Nordisk headquarter in a department with ties to Health Economics. Possible areas could be Global Stakeholder Engagement or Global Marketing. This will help build your network and showcase the importance of health economics within other areas in drug development and drug commercialisation.

Requirements
You are a top M.Sc. graduate with a degree in health economics, economics, public health, pharmaceutical/medical sciences, or other relevant fields. You have an international profile and a passion for learning. You are independent, flexible and efficient with a 'can-do' attitude. You have a high level of understanding of the practical implications of conducting health economics research. At the cutting-edge of a highly complex and innovative industry, you'll also need to be good at cross functional collaboration, and have the ability to communicate your great ideas well. You must be prepared to invest significant personal effort to meet the expectations and you should proactively take ownership of your areas of responsibility.
