About the department

Novo Nordisk (headquartered in Denmark) is a leading healthcare company with 100 years of history and our journey began with diabetes. Currently the company employs 53,000 colleagues in 80 countries, and we are treating 32 million people living with serious chronic diseases worldwide, every day. At Novo Nordisk, we don’t just aspire to be the best company in the world, but we aspire to be the best company for the world.

 

You will join our  Market Access team, based at our office in South Africa. The Market Access & Public Affairs Department works to improve the lives of patients in South Africa by enabling access to life-changing medicines for diabetes and other serious chronic diseases such as obesity and rare blood and endocrine disorders. We work in partnership with external stakeholders to improve health outcomes through policy, advocacy and support of equity-deserving communities across the country.

 

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 embrace 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.

We are therefore committed to creating an inclusive culture that celebrates the diversity of our employees, the patients we serve and communities we operate in. Together, we’re life changing.
