Want to help bring life-changing products to people all over the world? Novo Nordisk’s Global Marketing graduate programme aims to develop highly qualified Global Product Managers with a broad understanding and hands-on experience of global and local pharmaceutical marketing challenges. The programme is a great opportunity for future marketing leaders to join a successful and ambitious international company.

You will experience a variety of challenging tasks and projects - from cross-departmental project work and internal/external stakeholder management to a broad variety of both pre-launch, launch, and lifecycle management - offering increasing responsibility within Novo Nordisk's broad portfolio of diabetes and other life-changing products. To ensure that you make the most of the programme, you will be assigned a personal mentor with whom you will stay in close contact throughout your journey.

The graduate programme is a great springboard for launching a life-changing career, offering you a unique chance to use your recently-acquired master's degree to make a difference to patients and begin your career in a an ambitious global pharmaceutical company: Novo Nordisk, the world leader in diabetes care.

Structure of the programme

The Global Marketing graduate programme is a 2-year journey consisting of three 8-month rotations within the marketing and sales departments, both in Global Marketing Headquarters in Denmark and in our global affiliates. Your rotations will be tailored to optimise your personal and professional development and so the sequence and location of the rotations may vary between graduates, with each graduate exposed to different opportunities throughout the organisation.

After successfully completing the programme, you will have the necessary skills to embark on a career in global marketing at Novo Nordisk with a permanent position - perhaps as a Global Product Manager. While you could be based in Denmark, your broad network and international experience from the programme will enable global career opportunities.
