Purpose-Driven Work
United together, we have but one goal: to end diabetes and chronic illness. Our strength comes from the certainty of our purpose. Turning challenges into life-changing opportunities is what makes Novo Nordisk different.
Military service instills strength, courage, and confidence. At Novo Nordisk, we have opportunities to use that experience in a whole new way, and we enjoy an environment where continued education and on-the-job training are always accessible. Skills cultivated in the military translate seamlessly to our numerous technical and mechanical careers.
This includes interpersonal skills, like leadership, team mentality, and a mission-first mindset, and technical skills, like the ability to drive precision in regimented processes.
To help foster a sense of belonging, Novo Nordisk supports employee resource groups including Veterans at Novo Nordisk (VaNN) – a space for veterans and military families, who understand each other’s unique experience serving in the military firsthand to showcase leadership skills, execute professional development, and engage in community service.
Novo Nordisk offers a competitive compensation package including:
• Full medical benefits that start day one
• 9 percent company match for retirement plan
• Company paid short-term and long-term disability
• Tuition assistance
• Paid parental leave
• 14 paid holidays
• 120 hours of vacation accrued in your first year

Driving change together
At Novo Nordisk, we don’t wait for change. We drive it.
As a leader in life sciences, we know that what got us to where we are today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future.
That’s why we continuously push to improve the way we work, the lives of the patients we serve, and create solutions that allow people to live longer, healthier lives.
Our purpose
For over 100 years, our primary mission has been to drive change to defeat diabetes. This relentless pursuit has not only given us a deep understanding of this disease, but equipped us with the expertise and capabilities to combat other serious chronic conditions. These include obesity, rare diseases, and cardiovascular conditions, all of which pose significant challenges to global health.
Our commitment to improving patient health and quality of life extends from our research labs to our factory floors. Here, we are constantly discovering and developing innovative biological medicines. But our mission doesn’t stop at discovery. We are dedicated to making these breakthroughs accessible and affordable to patients worldwide, breaking down barriers to high-quality healthcare.
Today, our impact is seen and felt by over 6 million patients in the US alone. With more than 20 medicines across 4 therapeutic areas, we are helping people manage their conditions and lead healthier lives.
