The posting

Are you an experienced IT leader who combines strategic direction, strong people leadership and operational excellence? Novo Nordisk Foundation is seeking a Head of Corporate IT to lead and further develop a secure, resilient and scalable Corporate IT function serving the distinct needs of the Foundation and Novo Holdings, as well as affiliated organisations and initiatives.

The job and the organisation

Reporting to the CFO, the Head of Corporate IT holds overall accountability for Corporate IT, covering IT Projects, IT Operations, IT Architecture, Cyber Security and Digital Workplace. Corporate IT is a team of 18 skilled and committed colleagues with a strong sense of collaboration and a genuine enjoyment of working together. The new Head will help bring the team closer together and build on these strengths. The role is responsible for defining and executing the Corporate IT strategy, continuously developing its operating model and ensuring that technology, capabilities and investments are aligned with organisational priorities, innovation and long-term business needs.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and developing the Corporate IT organisation, its leaders and specialist capabilities, fostering an environment of trust and openness, where people feel valued, connected and empowered to contribute.
  • Ensuring stable, efficient and secure global IT operations, balancing local needs with a consistent, scalable and high-quality service model across Europe, the US and Asia.
  • Providing strategic oversight of IT Architecture, Cyber Security and the IT project portfolio.
  • Owning Corporate IT financial performance, strategic sourcing and vendor management, ensuring an optimal balance of internal capabilities and external partners, commercial efficiency and measurable business value.
  • Building trusted partnerships with executive leadership and key stakeholders across the Foundation and Novo Holdings, balancing their distinct business requirements with opportunities for shared capabilities, operational efficiencies and strategic alignment.

Two key priorities for the near future will be defining and implementing our future sourcing strategy and IT planning for the 2028 headquarters relocation

The position is based in Hellerup, Denmark. Some travel may be required.

  • Extensive leadership experience from a complex, international corporate IT environment, including experience as a leader of leaders.
  • Broad expertise across IT operations, infrastructure, architecture, cyber security and major IT projects.
  • Strong capabilities in IT governance, strategic portfolio management, financial oversight, complex sourcing arrangements, vendor performance management and information security.
  • Demonstrated experience in organisational transformation, IT operating model development and leading leaders through change while maintaining operational stability and business continuity. Strong business judgement and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical complexity into clear business choices.
  • A pragmatic, collaborative and service-oriented leadership style, with a proven ability to build trust, provide clear direction and create the conditions for people to take responsibility, contribute and work well together across teams and functions.

A relevant master’s degree is preferred, although substantial relevant experience may also be considered. Fluency in English is required. Fluency in Danish is an advantage but not a requirement.
