The posting

Payroll is about much more than salaries. In this role, you will help ensure that colleagues across Denmark are paid accurately and on time, while providing support on topics such as pay, vacation, parental leave and time registration. Whether you already have experience in payroll or are looking to build expertise in a specialist area, this is an opportunity to develop your skills while making a meaningful difference to employees across Novo.

Your new role

Your main responsibilities will be:

· Support employees across Denmark with questions related to salary, pension, taxation, vacation, parental leave and time registration.

· Handle employee cases and phone enquiries, providing clear, professional and helpful guidance in every interaction.

· Learn and develop expertise across payroll processes through structured training and close collaboration with experienced colleagues.

· Contribute to the accurate and timely delivery of payroll, helping ensure colleagues receive the right pay at the right time.

· Collaborate with Payroll colleagues and other specialist teams to resolve enquiries and continuously improve employee support.

· Take part in the optimisation and digitalisation of payroll processes, supporting Novo’s ambition to simplify and improve the employee experience.

Together with your colleagues, you will support a high-volume payroll operation that handles more than 55,000 employee cases and calls annually, making a positive difference through every interaction.

Your new department

You will join the Payroll team within Corporate Accounting, part of Finance Operations at Novo. Together, the team supports approximately 34,000 employees across Novo and affiliated companies, ensuring accurate payroll delivery and providing guidance on payroll-related topics.

The team consists of 18 colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences who work closely together to deliver high-quality service. We continuously explore new technologies, digital solutions and AI tools to improve our processes and create a better experience for employees across the organisation.

Your skills and qualifications

You are motivated by delivering great service and interested in developing expertise within payroll. Whether you bring experience from payroll, HR or another office-based function, you combine a structured approach with curiosity, accountability and a willingness to learn.

To succeed in this role, you have:

· Relevant experience from an administrative, customer service, HR, finance or other office-based role.

· Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality, accurate work.

· The ability to work independently, manage priorities and maintain quality in a fast-paced environment.

· Confidence using digital tools, with experience in MS Outlook, Excel and Word. Experience with SAP Payroll/HR or ServiceNow is an advantage but not required.

· An interest in systems, technology and AI-enabled tools to simplify and improve ways of working.

· Fluency in both Danish and English, written and spoken.

You are a collaborative and service-minded professional who enjoys helping others, sharing knowledge and finding practical solutions. You build trust through clear communication, take ownership of your responsibilities and contribute positively to the team, even during busy periods.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
