About the International Operations Finance Graduate Programme


Novo Nordisk International Operations encompasses markets in Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. The finance organisation focuses on driving competitive value creation with a strong performance culture with a focus on feedback. We are looking for people to help us transform numbers into actionable insights, to act as partners to line of business (e.g., sales and marketing organisation) and to create a solid platform for the company’s future success. Financial management and controlling of our operations, ensuring financial compliance, making challenging decisions, and handling risks proactively are just a few of our activities.


During the programme you will work with senior managers and build an international network of world-class colleagues, establishing yourself as one of tomorrow’s key people in finance at Novo Nordisk.


We have designed the full-time position as an International Operations Finance Graduate, so that, following its successful completion, you will be equipped with the necessary skills and experiences to become an integral part of our company with a permanent position in 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
  • International professional experience
  • Vast exposure and networking possibilities

 

The position


During the two-year programme you will undertake three challenging and exciting rotations of eight-months duration, starting in your home country China, followed by one international rotation in either our headquarters in Denmark or International Operations Strategic Office in Zurich. You will then return to China for your final rotation within our sales function.


You will become truly close to the marketplace and will get hands-on experience with business challenges and risks that pharmaceutical companies face in the marketplace and be able to impact the business with the acquired financial understanding.


The rotations are shaped to suit your development needs, while meeting our business requirements and to ensure you build the required competences needed to become a future finance leader in Novo Nordisk.


Please note: this specific graduate programme is targeted at candidates from China who hold full citizenship. We have many other graduate programmes, which are open to applicants from anywhere in the world.


Qualifications


To thrive and succeed as an International Operation Finance Graduate in China, we expect you to have:

 

  • A citizenship from China
  • A master’s degree from 2024 or 2025 in a relevant field, for example within finance, economics, accounting, business administration or management accounting
  • Above average academic achievements
  • International experience, for example from studying a full semester abroad, working or volunteering
  • No more than one year of work experience between or after finishing your master’s
  • International mind-set and ability to adapt quickly to change
  • Team-player attitude, excellent communication skills, high drive, and an eagerness to learn
  • Globally mobile and professional fluency in English

 

If you meet the criteria and are interested in joining the programme with start-up date 1 September 2025, please make sure to submit your application no later than 30 November 2024 GMT+1.


Important: upload this when you apply


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 English. Applications without these uploads will not be considered.


In the cover letter we expect to learn more about your motivation for wanting to join Novo Nordisk and the graduate programme, as well as your personal and professional competencies. Hence, make sure you include:

 

  • What are your expectations to the graduate programme and how will the International Operations Finance track support your career aspirations?
  • What characteristics do you appreciate in others when working in a team and what three characteristics you think others appreciate about you, and why?
  • Define innovation in a financial context, in your opinion

 

The cover letter should not exceed one 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.
