Secondary Packaging Specialist

Are you ready to use your packaging experience and coordination skills to make a difference in the development of our secondary packaging materials? Do you have hands-on experience in development of packaging materials? If yes, then this might be the job for you!

Device Research & Development has a long and outstanding track-record of developing the best, most innovative and widely-used injection devices in the world. In the development of medical devices, we ensure that user insight and innovation go hand in hand with a strong quality mind-set. We are organised in a project centric organisation in addition to a large device innovation area of experts, providing state-of-the-art knowledge across projects.

About the department 
You will join the team called Secondary Packaging and User Communication which is a part of the Device Innovation Support area in Device R&D. We are a group of 10 highly dedicated and committed employees with a shared passion for user communication and secondary packaging.

It is our responsibility to develop new packaging solutions and instruction guidelines for our medical devices. We do this as a team effort where we rely on each other to deliver their part in order for us to be a success.

The job 
Your tasks will include development of packaging concepts, subject matter coordination, definition of material specifications in the early development phases, production maturing activities – DFM and participating in working out Full Manufacturing Cost (FMC). You will also be responsible for planning and follow-up of activities with sub-contractors, consultants and industrial designers as well as establishment of testing programmes and participation in hazard and risks analyses in the later phases.

Your working day will be very dynamic with many different types of activities, in different phases of the development process. Cooperating with a wide range of internal customers and dedicated experts within Device R&D, as well as other units within Novo Nordisk, will be a key factor to your success.

Qualifications
You hold a technical or scientific degree at minimum Master level and you have worked with packaging development for a minimum of five years. It is essential that you possess knowledge of the requirements for medical device packaging as well as GDP & GMP. As we work in the pharmaceutical industry you must understand the regulatory aspect of this. You have hands-on experience within several of the following topics: Packaging development, automatic packaging processes, AutoCAD/CREO, injection moulding, shipping equipment and processes, user driven innovation and lean.

When it comes to project management you know the importance of stakeholder management and can skilfully navigate in different contexts – presenting for Governance Boards, setting up the actual test plan, coordination with sub-contractors and within your own team or any other setting you will find yourself in.

You appreciate the value of working in within a team and the benefits that goes with it. You are recognised for your interpersonal skills, your collaborative attitude and technical competences. You can combine theory and practise and know how to apply your knowledge to develop packaging design and solve practical problems. Your analytical and structured approach combined with your innovative and curious
mind-set help you, in both brainstorming and problem solving situations. You communicate fluently in English both written and orally.

Device R&D has a vast expertise in on-boarding non-local and we welcome non-local applicants, willing to relocate to Denmark. We also have a strong history of developing ground-breaking devices. We are successful because we have first class people on our team, who inspire and encourage each other to surpass expectations.

At Novo Nordisk, we use our skills, dedication and ambition to help people with diabetes. We offer the chance to be part of a truly global work place, where passion and engagement are met with opportunities for professional and personal development.
