Join our dynamic team as an HR Project Manager and play a pivotal role in driving cross-functional projects that align with our strategic goals! With responsibilities ranging from optimizing P&O processes to leading impactful communications for our leadership team, you'll empower collaboration and innovation throughout the organization.

 

Your new role
As an HR Project Manager, you will:

Drive P&O cross-functional projects in alignment with the P&O strategy, ensuring efficient resource utilization and alignment with organizational goals. Design and lead communications for P&O, including monthly meetings and off-site events, while supporting the Head of P&O and the P&O Leadership Team (LT). Optimize and standardize local P&O processes by analyzing business workflows and implementing best practices to enhance efficiency. Create comprehensive project plans outlining scope, timelines, milestones, governance, and resource allocation to ensure successful project execution. Act as a role model by fostering collaboration, providing coaching and feedback, and empowering team members to achieve high performance, while representing projects in internal governance and Steering Committee meetings for transparency and progress reporting. 

 

Your new department
You will be part of the P&O team based at our Japan headquarters in Tokyo. Our department is dedicated to supporting Novo Nordisk’s P&O related strategic objectives, employee development and care, by driving impactful projects and optimizing processes. You’ll work closely with a diverse group of internal and external stakeholders, including Global Centers of Excellence, HR Business Partners, and the P&O Leadership Team.

 

Your skills & qualifications
We are looking for an HR Project Manager who will enjoy working in a dynamic, high-paced environment. You’ll bring with you: 

Bachelor’s degree or above. Minimum 5-7 years of experience in HR, preferably in HR Project Management, Organizational Development, or HR Business Partnering. Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects, including planning, execution, and stakeholder engagement. Familiarity with project management tools, methods, and templates.  HR Project experiences such as setting up timelines; project objectives/milestones/priorities; and experiences with process improvement would be highly relevant for this position.

 

Working at Novo Nordisk 
At Novo Nordisk, we don’t wait for change. We drive it. We’re a dynamic company in an even more dynamic industry, and we know that what got us to where we are today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future. We cover the spirit of experimentation, striving for excellence without fixating on perfection. We never shy away from opportunities to develop, we seize them. From research and development, through to manufacturing, marketing and sales – we’re all working to move the needle on patient care.

 

What we offer 
There is, of course, more on offer here than the uniqueness of our culture and the extraordinary results we produce. Being part of a global healthcare company means that opportunities to learn and develop are all around us, while our benefits are designed with your career and life stage in mind.
