AI Innovation Consultant

AI Innovation Consultant at Novo Nordisk Engineering

If you're energised by facilitating workshops that turn business challenges into concrete AI opportunities, and you thrive at the intersection of creativity, structure and stakeholder engagement, we'd love to hear from you!

Who we are

We are a leading pharma engineering company shaping the future of API pharma engineering globally. Leveraging the expertise of 2,000+ employees across Denmark, India, and the US, we design, build and optimise pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities that are essential to the health and well-being of patients everywhere.

Our success is driven by passion, innovation, and collaboration — with our customers and across our teams and disciplines. If you share our dedication to a noble cause and our passion for API pharma engineering, then NNE is the place for you.

About the role
We are building an AI Strategy, Innovation & Adoption team that helps NNE transform how we deliver engineering projects through AI and digital solutions. As Innovation Consultant you will be part of this team and you will be a key facilitator on the ground in our Indian office - running design sprints, scoping workshops and maturation sessions that turn business challenges into concrete AI and digital opportunities.

You will work hands-on with engineering teams and business stakeholders in India, applying structured innovation methods (design sprints, double diamond, design thinking) to explore problems, sketch solutions and prepare ideas for delivery. You will also help build innovation capability locally so that innovation activities can scale beyond any single facilitator.

This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, is energised by workshop facilitation, and can hold both a business conversation and a solution-oriented mindset at the same time.

Location: Bangalore
Experience: 2-4 years
Department: Engineering Model Data & Experience

How you might spend your days

As an Innovation Consultant, you'll be:

• Facilitating design sprints, scoping workshops and maturation sessions with business stakeholders and engineering teams, bringing energy and structure to every session you run
• Structuring ambiguous business challenges into clear problem statements, value hypotheses and solution directions that give teams a firm foundation to build from
• Assessing matured ideas for delivery route, helping decide whether an opportunity is best solved through self-service, a configured solution or a custom build
• Handing over well scoped use cases into the portfolio, ensuring outcomes from your workshops are properly documented, actionable and ready for prioritization
• Partnering closely with our Adoption Consultant in India so that innovation outputs connect smoothly into adoption planning, training and stakeholder engagement

Who you are

We care about who you are as a person. In the end, how you work, and your energy is what impacts the results we achieve as a team. As a person, you are:

• A confident and energising facilitator who can guide diverse groups and make complex ideas tangible through sketches, frameworks and narratives
• A structured problem framer, able to turn fuzzy business challenges into clear, workable problem statements
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and confident in challenging assumptions constructively
• Organised and self driven, able to run workshops end to end with minimal supervision
• Collaborative and culturally aware, energised by working with colleagues in India, Denmark and USA.

What you bring to the role

In all positions, there are some things that are preferred, and others, a bonus. If you do not meet all the qualifications listed below, you are welcome to offer alternative experience that you think would be valuable in this role:

• Experience in innovation, consulting, digital transformation or service design
• Proven track record designing and facilitating workshops using structured methods such as design sprints, double diamond or design thinking
• A solid grasp of what AI and digital solutions can realistically do at a capability level, without needing to code
• Experience from pharma, engineering or another regulated technical industry is an advantage but not a requirement
• You are fluent in written and spoken English.
