Translating security guidance into practical controls, checklists, and runbooks that IT solution owners and architects can adopt. Analysing operational security data to identify trends, generate insights and support continuous improvements. Guiding and advising IT owners, architects and practitioners is an essential part of the work to delegate, scale and drive simplicity through the projects and activities. Staying up to date with and building the security foundation for new and emerging technologies.

Familiarity with, or strong interest in, AI/ML technologies and their security considerations (e.g. machine learning, large language models, generative AI tools, cloud AI services) Strong communicative skills and a pragmatic, data-driven mindset with eagerness to learn and collaborate in a global team.
Experience with modern software engineering practices and application security as well as understanding of modern architectures is a plus. Also, you are technically curious and detail-oriented and comfortable working close to IT owners and solution architects. You translate technical findings into clear, actionable steps, ask the right questions, and work proactively to turn observations into improvements.
Your new department
You will join the Enterprise Information Technology & Quality (EITQ) Information Security team, a central advisory function that enables secure, compliant and resilient IT across Novo Nordisk. The team partners closely with cloud, data, AI, application and business stakeholders to embed security by design into digital initiatives and to translate regulatory and risk requirements into practical controls.
