  • Experience with win-win negotiation techniques, combined with high emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity and the ability to stay calm and assertive under pressure.
  • Clear, simple and compelling communication, fluent English is a must; other languages from APAC region are a plus.

Useful, but not essential:

  • Exposure to areas beyond your direct experience listed above. A Master’s degree, and deep knowledge of local APAC markets including competitive insights and intelligence.

What you'll do

You will act as the single regional point of contact for commercial partnerships and business development across therapy areas, turning regional priorities into value-creating partnerships and deals.

  • Manage the performance of APAC’s commercial partnership portfolio, developing a performance model with clear KPIs and trigger points, and working with local alliance managers to diagnose issues and co-develop win-win solutions.
  • Identify and lead inorganic growth opportunities within and adjacent to the existing portfolio, aligned to the APAC Game Plan and regional business priorities.
  • Lead contract (re)negotiations for current and new deals, serving as lead negotiator or chief advisor depending on deal size, type and geography, and aligning stakeholders across local, regional and IO levels.
  • Act as regional steward of partnership governance, running the APAC BD Committee and co-owning the External Regional Joint Steering Committee with partners to ensure strong, value-adding collaboration.
  • Build alliance management capability across markets by developing an APAC partnerships playbook, delivering workshops and training, and sharing learnings and best practices with IO Business Development.
  • Work closely with the Associate Director of Commercial Insights, Analytics and Alliances to ground partnership strategy in sound insights, forecasts and commercial models.

Who you'll work with

You will join the Business Development function within Region APAC Corporate Affairs – an innovative unit that brings together the commercial functions of Executive Office, Strategy, Data and Insights, and Business Development with externally facing corporate functions including Communications, Consumer PR, Media Relations and Sustainability.

Your closest partners will be local Alliance Managers across APAC markets, the IO Business Development team, and regional marketing and commercial colleagues. Externally, you will represent Novo Nordisk in negotiations with partners and alliances and co-lead the External Regional Joint Steering Committee.

Based in Singapore, you will work across markets, functions and organisational levels – bringing perspectives together, creating clarity around priorities and helping teams move from insight to action.

What you can expect here

You will work in a dynamic, fast-growing regional environment where your expertise shapes commercial decisions across markets. The role offers a high degree of autonomy, the chance to lead cross-functional initiatives, and the opportunity to build new skills through partnership design, negotiation and capability building.

You will be trusted to take ownership and make your voice heard, supported by a team that values collaboration, innovation and making a positive business impact – while having some fun along the way.
