Company: Novo Nordisk Global Business Services (GBS)

Job Level: 4

 

Bring your sharp eye for detail to a role where accuracy, compliance and smart automation come together – and where your work directly supports colleagues across Novo Nordisk affiliates worldwide.

 

Your new role

As a Sr Associate I in Expense Management, you will be responsible for handling travel and expense (T&E) auditing and related reporting, while providing strong support to front-office colleagues in your assigned affiliates. You will help shape how we run T&E at scale – leveraging Concur, AppZen and AI-led auditing to drive compliance, quality and continuous improvement. The overall goal is to fulfil targets set jointly by the team, the Team Leader and Finance GBS Management.

Day-to-day, your tasks will include:

• Auditing travel and expense reports in the Concur system for assigned affiliates, maintaining 100% quality across all activities
• Initiating and following up with employees on any T&E policy infraction cases, and sending timely monthly infraction reports with clear, actionable insights
• Supporting end users in resolving Concur-related queries received through emails, and scheduling and anchoring monthly calls with stakeholders
• Building strong working relationships with stakeholders, updating and following up on the issue list, and acting as backup when team members are absent
• Driving process improvements, contributing to projects on procedure optimisation and IT system implementation, regularly updating SOPs and training new joiners
• Participating actively in GIA (Group Internal Audit) reviews and completing self-appraisal and IDP on time

 

Your new department

In Finance, Legal & Global Solutions, we enable Novo Nordisk to fulfil our purpose by safeguarding the business, providing corporate infrastructure, and driving value creation. We are a team of 2,300 colleagues primarily based at our headquarters in Denmark and our Global Business Services centres in India and Mexico.

You will join our Expense Management team within Finance GBS in Bangalore – a collaborative group that ensures noiseless service delivery, quality auditing, and continuous transformation of T&E processes for affiliates around the globe. Here, your contribution will directly support stakeholders, strengthen compliance and help shape the future of T&E through automation, standardisation and AI-led innovation.

 

Your skills & qualifications

We are looking for a thorough, analytical and proactive professional who thrives in a high-paced, deadline-driven environment – especially around month-end. To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• A Bachelor of Commerce (or equivalent) with a good academic track record
• 4–6 years of relevant experience in Travel & Expense (T&E) auditing, ideally within a global organisation, with hands-on experience in T&E systems such as Concur Expense and AppZen (including tool transitions and model analysis), and ERP systems such as SAP
• A proven track record of contributing to transformation and process improvement projects – driving end-to-end digitalisation of T&E through automation, standardisation and system optimisation, and leveraging AI-led expense auditing to enhance compliance, fraud detection and decision-making
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, a responsible and quality-focused mindset, and the ability to remain calm and flexible in a hectic environment
• Good IT skills (MS Office) and strong communication skills, including English fluency, with a genuine team-player attitude
