• Date posted: 12 Dec 2011
• Deadline: 12 Feb 2012

The two-year programme will consist of three rotations in different parts of the Global Development organisation whilst anchored in the Trial Execution skill area. The aim of the Trial Management Graduate Programme is to develop people through extensive trial management exposure with a strong focus on competencies such as communication, team leadership 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 internal/external stakeholder management and have assignments within trial management in the initiation, execution or finalisation phase of a trial.

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 Trial Management 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 most likely take place within Trial Management in one of the projects in HQ in Denmark. The main purpose of this rotation is an introduction to the Trial Management areas of responsibilities and to get a good understanding of Good Clinical Practice.

In the second rotation we normally send the graduate to an affiliate outside of Denmark. This is the rotation where the graduate will get insight into Trial Management from a local perspective. This will give the graduate a unique international perspective that will prove invaluable as new markets continue to evolve for Novo Nordisk.

The third rotation will most likely take place within Trial Management in HQ in Denmark. During this final rotation the graduate should work more or less independently and will have the opportunity to build their network and showcase the importance of Trial Management within other areas in drug development and drug commercialisation.

Requirements
You are a top M.Sc. graduate in natural sciences (e.g. pharmacy, human biology or equivalent). You have an international profile and a passion for learning. You are independent, flexible and efficient with a 'can-do' attitude. You have a solid scientific background as well as the ability to solve tasks within a short timeframe. At the cutting-edge of a highly complex and innovative industry, you'll 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. Finally, the strongest candidates carry some relevant work experience obtained while studying.
