Hence, the teams you will be leading are not just your teams but our teams. The idea of co-leading teams must sit well with you. There will be tasks you do alone, but the most exciting tasks are those we collaborate on and complete together.

Additionally, your key responsibilities will include:

Long-term competency and skills development, such as people career development and motivation including coaching and mentoring

Strong Coaching and Team Building Skills

Performance management, goal setting and naturally foster a feedback culture.

Experience with supporting a transformation through personal advocacy, engagement, stakeholder management and leadership

Certification or practical experience with Agile methodologies

On a personal level you have an inclusive mindset and have a focus on diversity. You are using your empathy to ensure a sustainable work environment, building trust, empowering and motivating teams and accelerating people's development. You are proactive, can ask for help and comfortable in setting direction. You are fluent in written and spoken English.

About the department

The position is based in Cloud & Corporate Infrastructure (CCI) which is a department in Global IT Operations (GITO). GITO is an area with 450+ employees distributed across more than 25 countries, managing Novo Nordisk infrastructure operations, service desk and digital workplace services globally. In CCI we are inspired by agile methodologies and the SAFe framework. As an agile People Leader, you will become part of the ART Leadership team together with fellow People Leaders in DK, US and India, Product managers, Release Train Engineer, System Architects, and the CCI VP. We are a strong leadership team of 15 people who value honesty, humor, transparency and efficiency.

You will be leading groups of highly skilled and dedicated employees employed in the area of SAP, network expansion projects, Quality and Hybrid Platforms. The profiles include infrastructure architects and engineers as well as Product Owners, quality professionals and project managers based in Denmark. The department structure is newly established, and your team has been designed to cater for the growth across several product teams. Hence your team members belong to several different product delivery teams.

We are embracing new ideas on how to successfully deliver our products, services and projects and introduce new ways of working. Currently our organization is undergoing rapid growth, and we work hard to enable the expansion of Novo Nordisk by delivering the required infrastructure.
