Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy & Business Development

Job title: Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy & Business Development

Reporting to: Chief Executive Officer

Department: Corporate Strategy & Business Development

Location: Bagsværd, Denmark. Some travel is expected.

The position

Novo Nordisk is seeking a Senior Vice President to lead Corporate Strategy & Business Development, a newly established organisation that brings together two critical capabilities shaping the company's long-term strategic direction and growth.

Reporting directly to the CEO and serving as a member of Executive Management, you will hold an enterprise-wide mandate to shape corporate strategy, inform strategic choices, and identify and execute external opportunities that strengthen Novo Nordisk's future position.

The role requires a senior executive who combines strategic perspective, deep business understanding and sound judgement with the ability to translate strategic priorities into decisions, partnerships and transactions that deliver long-term value.

Key responsibilities

As Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy & Business Development, you will lead a global organisation of approximately 60 employees across Corporate Strategy and Business Development. You will work closely with the CEO, Executive Management and senior leaders across Novo Nordisk.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Lead the development and regular review of Novo Nordisk's corporate strategy in close collaboration with the CEO and Executive Management.
  • Shape strategic choices on where to compete, how to win and which capabilities to build to support the company's long-term ambitions.
  • Lead the full business development value chain, including opportunity identification, due diligence, valuation, transaction execution, contracting, post-deal integration and alliance management.
  • Connect internal capabilities and portfolio priorities with external opportunities, including strategic partnerships, collaborations and acquisitions.
  • Ensure rigorous strategic and financial assessment, effective governance and clear accountability for value creation across business development activities.
  • Build trusted relationships with key internal and external stakeholders and represent Novo Nordisk in strategic partnerships and transactions.
  • Lead and develop a high-performing global organisation across Corporate Strategy and Business Development, fostering collaboration and strong leadership.

Your experience and leadership profile

We are seeking an accomplished senior executive with a demonstrated ability to shape enterprise strategy, lead complex business development activities and influence decision-making at the highest organisational levels.

The successful candidate will bring:

  • Substantial senior leadership experience in corporate strategy, business development or related disciplines, gained within the pharmaceutical or life sciences industry, investment banking, management consulting or a comparable global environment.
  • A strong track record of shaping enterprise strategy and leading complex strategic partnerships, transactions or acquisitions.
  • Broad scientific and commercial understanding, combined with strong financial acumen and the ability to assess strategic opportunities and risks.
  • The credibility and judgement to advise and constructively challenge the CEO and Executive Management, and to build alignment among senior leaders across a complex global organisation.
  • Demonstrated people leadership, with the ability to develop strong leadership teams and build diverse, inclusive and high-performing organisations.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills, together with the integrity and external credibility required to represent Novo Nordisk in significant partnerships and transactions.

You are a collaborative and decisive leader who combines long-term strategic thinking with the ability to deliver results. You exercise sound judgement in complex situations, challenge established thinking when necessary and build trust across different perspectives and interests.

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.
