About this opportunity

Your new role

We are looking for three (Senior) Regulatory Affairs CMC Professionals to join RA CMC & Device in temporary maternity cover roles across two different departments. Two roles are in the area handling life-cycle management and late-stage development for the semaglutide pipeline. One role is in a department within the RA CMC life-cycle management area, supporting drug product transfers to new manufacturing sites across the full portfolio. All roles offer the opportunity to become a subject matter expert in a leading international organisation and to take the lead in setting the strategic direction for products of great importance to Novo Nordisk's growth on a global level.

These temporary roles involve working with late-stage development and life-cycle management submissions worldwide, each anchored in a different department.

Applying CMC regulatory intelligence to develop robust regulatory strategies

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
