About the department

Insulin Manufacturing 2 is one of the large manufacturing facilities at Novo Nordisk’s site at Kalundborg. Here, we produce the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) that is the backbone of many of our quality products that help improving the lives of people living with diabetes. IM2 is a very complex setup with an abundance of processes that need to be adhered to in order to maintain product safety and output stability.

Obviously, the more we can improve and optimise these many processes and the ways they interact, the more we can ensure cost-efficiency and make the workday smarter, safer and easier for our colleagues. The LEAN team is part of the Business Support Department IM2, and a large part of our work is exactly that: identifying easier ways to do things and facilitate the change that is needed. Your colleagues in the rest of the Business Support department has other responsibilities, like finance and training, but in your new team, the implementation of cultural changes through the appliance of effective LEAN tools is our business.

The position

We strive to develop leaders to develop the business. But we also need to understand the reality in the departments and act accordingly. In every interaction with employees, you will be an ambassador for the LEAN mindset and be a trainer on our internal LEAN education programme. This means that while you will be expected to handle an overall maturation of the organisation, you will accomplish this only through shop floor presence and the many interesting talks you will have with your many colleagues across a truly global organisation.

Qualifications

You have a strong in-depth knowledge about the LEAN tools. You have a relevant B. Sc or M. Sc education. You have a lot of experience and a record of successful implementations from various parts of the industry. You have worked with management teams and shown that you can drive the changes with and through the leaders.

When we meet, it will be obvious to us that you have an engaging attitude. People will tell us that your commitment, your drive and your ability to communicate flawlessly across cultural and professional distances energises your surroundings and is key to your solid accomplishments.

The way you employ structure to your work and communicate your plans, tools and complex insights through visual representations suited for the specific stakeholder group, will make it clear to us that you will be able to drive the needed changes in a timely fashion and create strong followship.
