Ascendis Pharma is a global biopharmaceutical company committed to making a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.

You will support the daily operation and continuous improvement of that platform, while getting broad exposure across the organization, including colleagues in Finance IT, Product Supply IT, and the wider business. This is an IT platform role. You will not be writing code, but you will spend your time in the systems, the documentation, and the processes that keep them running and auditable. We work in a regulated industry, which means documentation is not an afterthought it is part of the job, and doing it well is a real contribution. 

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment, collaborate with cross-functional, global teams working together to achieve extraordinary results.  

The D365 Platform Team owns the Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations platform and the surrounding Microsoft ecosystem that Ascendis runs on, incl. Power Platform, Azure, and Azure DevOps. Everything from finance to product supply depends on it working, and on it being governed properly. 

You will report directly to Christian Ulrich Hansen, Senior Professional, Platform Engineering who is based in Hellerup. You will also be based in Hellerup.

• Creating reports, dashboards, and decision-support material for internal stakeholders

Beyond that, we are looking for someone who: 

• Is genuinely interested in IT systems, IT operations, and the business processes they enable 

• Writes clearly, and understands why clear documentation matters in a regulated environment 

• Takes ownership of a task and follows it through, without needing to be chased
