Sustainable Materials Strategy Director
21 hours ago
Job Description
We are playing our part in building a sustainable future. We're on a journey to make our products increasingly more sustainable and a key aspect is the materials that go into our products.
As Sustainable Materials Strategy Director you will put your outstanding strategic approach into play as you develop strategic recommendations on sustainable materials. You will coordinate input from a wide group of partners in- and outside the organization and fairly balance opposing views to bridge environmental ambition with commercial logic.
Core Responsibilities
- Develop strategic recommendations on sustainable materials, particularly resin, in close collaboration with critical stakeholders.
- Play a vital role in the LEGO Group's enterprise risk management work on materials.
- Drive the development of internal standards and definitions as well as company positions to guide our work on sustainable materials.
- Work closely with sustainable materials experts in your own team (Sustainable Products & Packaging Strategy team) and beyond to remain up-to-speed on trends and developments in the market and regulatory environment.
Play your part in our team succeeding
You will be part of an ambitious team that enables us to deliver more sustainable and circular products and packaging through strategic direction setting and concrete mentorship and standards.
Do you have what it takes?
- Extensive experience working with environmental sustainability and/or sustainable materials. Top tier management consulting preferred.
- Educational background with master's degree or equivalent experience in business, engineering, materials or sustainability subject as a minimum.
- Proficiency in Project Management including organisation and planning.
- Successful strategy development skills with proven forward-thinking in a global corporate context.
- Very strong interpersonal skills with ability to collaborate and influence.
- Bravery to challenge combined with curiosity to explore, while working focused, analytically and data-driven to deliver the best solutions.
- Ability to deal with complexity and ambiguity and translating complex – often technical- topics into comprehendible messaging.
- Excellent communications skills, both verbally and written.
What's in it for you?
Here is what you can expect:
- Family Care Leave: We offer enhanced paid leave options for those important times.
- Insurances: All colleagues are covered by our life and disability insurance which provides protection and peace of mind.
- Wellbeing: We want our people to feel well and thrive. We offer resources and benefits to nurture physical and mental wellbeing along with opportunities to build community and inspire creativity.
- Colleague Discount: We know you'll love to build, so from day 1 you will qualify for our generous colleague discount.
- Bonus: We do our best work to succeed together. When goals are reached and if eligible, you'll be rewarded through our bonus scheme.
- Workplace: When you join the team you'll be assigned a primary workplace location i.e. one of our Offices, stores or factories. Our hybrid work policy means an average of 3 days per week in the office.
The LEGO Group is highly committed to equal employment opportunity and equal pay and seeks to encourage applicants from all backgrounds (eg. sex, gender identity or expression, race/ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, age and religion) to apply for roles in our team.
Research shows that women and people from different minority backgrounds often only apply for a job if they meet 100% of the listed qualifications. If you dream of being a part of our team and you meet many, but not all of our listed qualifications for this role, please apply.
The LEGO Group is fully committed to Children's Rights and Child Wellbeing across the globe. Candidates offered positions with high engagement with children are required to take part in Child Safeguarding Background Screening, as a condition of the offer.
