Our Employees
We are an international company built on science and driven by people. Being an employee in Bavarian Nordic means being a part of an inspiring and diverse working environment where you can get influence and develop yourself both professionally and personally.
Read below how some of our employees describe what they find unique by working at Bavarian Nordic.
Ina Glamheden-Helle, Manager, Local MSAT DS Process Support
I started at Bavarian Nordic as a consultant in May 2016 and have since worked across almost every area of Drug Substance (DS). In May 2022 I became a permanent employee and in April 2024 I stepped into my current role as Manager in DS Local MSAT.
I have a passion for developing people and building strong, resilient teams. I value collaboration, meeting deadlines and, above all, helping people realise their potential. I love working across departments and disciplines, jumping into new things, learning new skills and challenging myself when tasks risk becoming too routine.
As Pippi Longstocking puts it: “I have never done it before, so of course I can do it!”, that’s the spirit I bring.
Bavarian Nordic feels unique to me because, even though we’re a large company, it still feels small and offers great opportunities if you take them. In my team we work on long-term solutions that can make a real difference for production, and by strengthening cross-functional collaboration, we can become even stronger as a company.
Christopher Flokas, Student Assistant Finance
I'm Christopher, half-Greek and half-Danish, born and raised in Greece. I moved to Copenhagen to pursue my undergraduate studies, followed by my graduate degree. I first joined Bavarian Nordic as an intern during my mandatory internship semester in January 2022, and I have been with the company ever since.
What truly motivates me at Bavarian Nordic is the supportive environment that encourages me to challenge the status quo. From my very first day, rather than being limited by my lack of experience, I was encouraged to speak up and share ideas on potential improvements. Moreover, during my course in the organization my managers have shown trust in me, which has enabled me to take ownership of various projects and has contributed to both my professional and personal growth.
Rikke Røser Toft, QSC Manager
I joined Bavarian Nordic back in 2020 and my current role as QSC Manager, within QA, consists of multiple tasks with lots of variation, supporting our manufacturing site from a QA perspective, ensuring inspection readiness and achievement of strategy goals. With this role I have the possibility to learn about lot of our processes and collaborate with all areas on site. And do not forget the opportunity to learn and work with all employees on site no matter position or level.
By promoting standards and quality guidance to our manufacturing departments, I´m proud to be a part of the BN workforce, where I can see our hard work is paid off by ensuring life-threatening vaccines to the entire world. The impact that we do is crucial to health of the world population – this makes me proud.
For me BN has given me an opportunity to grow and develop in a direction that supports my development and career plan. With the possibility to develop into new areas and with position changes across the organization. Along my journey at BN, which started back in 2020 within Supply Chain Management to now in QA Operation, I have had the pleasure to work with management teams that support and lead the employees, to achieve not only company goals, but also recognized and supported the individual development plans. I my current passion, I´m the proud colleague to a unique management team, that support one another, ensure I continue my learnings and thrive in my daily work life.
