About the Global Finance Graduate Programme

The full-time position as a Global Finance Graduate offers you the opportunity to experience four exciting jobs in just two years. You can engage in various finance functions across our global value chain - from R&D to production to sales. This experience will equip you with a strong financial toolbox, knowledge of digital tools, and a holistic understanding of Novo Nordisk and the pharmaceutical industry.

Throughout the programme, you will gain hands-on experience with transforming data into actionable business insights, communicating recommendations, and creating measurable business impact. You will collaborate with highly skilled colleagues and cultivate an international network, positioning yourself as one of tomorrow’s key finance leaders at Novo Nordisk.

As you embark on your life-changing career in Novo Nordisk, we will provide you with:

• Accelerated personal and professional development from day one. You will receive 1-on-1 sparring from a senior mentor assigned to you and participate in an extensive, custom-built training programme.
• International professional experience. You will spend one of your 6-month rotations abroad at one of our many affiliates and regional offices (e. g. Princeton, São Paulo, Kuala Lumpur, a European capital or one of many other options), where you will gain unique insights into the local finance organisation.
• Vast exposure and networking possibilities. As part of the Graduate community, you will not only expand your professional network across the finance function, you will also start your journey together with tomorrow’s leaders in the other graduate tracks – like Business, Legal & Compliance, Marketing or Data Science.

During the programme you will undertake 3 rotations at the global headquarters in Denmark and 1 rotation abroad, each fitted to suit your personal development needs and to ensure that you will be involved in a variety of tasks. Every Global Finance Graduate’s journey is unique, but below is an example of how yours could look like:

• Rotation 1 – R&D Finance, HQ

Finance partnering supporting the management and evaluation of investments in our future product pipeline.

Are you not sure if your profile is a 100% fit? You should still consider applying!
Sometimes, good candidates are hesitant about submitting their application unless they are convinced that they meet every qualification listed. We require a recent master´s degree and an international perspective, but other than that, you should consider applying and showcasing how your distinctive personality and experience can impact the lives of millions. Who knows, your profile may align with our values (needs?) more than you realize. Take the leap and see where the journey takes you!

Before clicking the apply button, please ensure you have uploaded your CV (please upload under “resume”), cover letter and most recent academic records (upload these two documents as one file under “cover letter”).

In the cover letter we expect to learn more about your motivation for joining Novo Nordisk and the graduate programme, as well as your personal and professional competencies. Hence, make sure you include what your expectations to the graduate programme are and how the programme will support your career aspirations. The cover letter should not exceed 1 page.

You can apply from any device but as you will be asked to answer several questions on the application page, we recommend applying from a PC instead of a mobile phone.
