The LEO Pharma Graduate Programme

The LEO Pharma graduate programme is designed to give early talents the opportunity to be part of an exciting transformation journey and make a real impact on our business. The programme offers 3 positions every year giving the early talents four rotations over the first 2 years at our global headquarters in Denmark including an assignment on a global team with opportunities for overseas travel. The aim is to give the early talents a strong toolbox through hands-on experience in various functions, work with teams across the entire value chain, and gain a deep understanding of LEO Pharma and the pharmaceutical industry.

We have asked our current graduates a few questions about their first experience being a graduate at LEO Pharma. Read their reflections below.

“Do you thrive in an environment where asking questions, taking initiative and being your authentic self is valued and respected?

Three months have flown by since I joined, and I am proud to be a part of LEO Pharma. Working alongside colleagues with +10 years of expertise within supply chain management has already enabled me to learn and grow so much. I feel truly grateful for the amazing people I work with, who make me come to the office with a big smile and high energy to work together as one team.

 

What makes the Graduate Programme at LEO Pharma so interesting?

LEO Pharma “goes beyond the skin”, giving 95 million patients worldwide the chance for a better quality of life every year. You can feel that passion in the way we work together to deliver our products to patients in a timely and cost-efficient manner, while also being mindful and taking action to mitigate our impact on society and our planet. Additionally, LEO Pharma offers the opportunity for a rotation in supply chain, enabling us to combine our understanding of production with business knowledge in finance and marketing, and hopefully foster more effective collaboration across functions. If our culture at LEO Pharma resonates with who you are, introduce yourself!”

About LEO Pharma

LEO Pharma is not an average pharma company. We are proud of our 116-year legacy in healthcare, starting back in 1908 when two Danish pharmacists, August Kongsted and Anton Antons, bought the LEO Pharmacy in Copenhagen, Denmark, and created a unique chemical factory, which we now know as LEO Pharma. From a humble basement operation, we have become a global leader in dermatology.

While our Headquarters are still in our home country, Denmark, we have expanded across the globe, counting 27 affiliates from China to the US. Our 6 manufacturing sites in Dublin, Cork, Segrate, Vernouillet and Ballerup is where we produce a range of products such as creams, ointments, gels and pre-filled syringes.

But here's the best part: our mission is all about helping people achieve healthy skin. We are serving about 100 million people worldwide! And to top it all off, we are also strongly committed to sustainability. We are on a mission to reduce our carbon emissions by more than 50% by 2030 and ensure that 75% of our suppliers have set science-based targets by 2026.

Working at LEO Pharma means being part of a “challenge-accepted” team. We want to push boundaries and make a real difference in the lives of millions. So, if you are ready to unleash your unique talents and be part of an amazing journey, LEO Pharma is the place to be. Let's make the world a better place, one healthy skin at a time!
