• Act as a key support partner by providing vacation cover and handling ad hoc administrative tasks for a counterpart based in Zurich.

 

Your new department
In Product & Portfolio Strategy GBS we drive commercial strategy, medical affairs and business development across all therapy areas. We act as a connector and compass, guiding the new Novo Nordisk portfolio for sustained competitiveness upstream, and maximising portfolio potential through successful commercial strategies and competitive launches downstream.

You will join a team where your ability to coordinate across cultures, functions and geographies directly contributes to the delivery of projects with cross-functional impact – working closely with colleagues in Zurich and across the broader organisation.
