Senior Director – Packing Technology

Job Description

Join us on a mission to redefine the future of packaging at the LEGO Group.

This is not about maintaining equipment — it's about setting the global standard for innovation, R&D, and technology leadership in packing. As Senior Director, Packing Technology, you will shape how millions of LEGO products are packaged and delivered sustainably across the world.

• Lead with vision – Define and drive the global technology roadmap for packing, embedding design-for-manufacture (DfM), LEAN, and digitalization.

• Build the future – Take innovations from pilot to global deployment, ensuring robust qualification, scalability, and lifecycle management.

• Elevate performance – Champion continuous improvement, data-driven decision making, and global standards across all packaging technologies.

• Shape supply networks – Develop global supplier partnerships and low-cost sourcing strategies that deliver resilience, scalability, and flexibility.

• Drive sustainability – Align every packing technology decision with LEGO's long-term sustainability commitments.

• Inspire teams – Lead, mentor, and grow diverse talent; foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and collaboration.

With up to 40% international travel, you'll work hands-on with teams, partners, and suppliers across regions to make real impact.

This is an opportunity to help shape the technological foundation of our packing operations. By leading projects within the Braun Field and A&D areas, championing platform standardization, and overseeing capability development, you will ensure that the LEGO Group remains at the forefront of innovative and sustainable packaging solutions.

Your leadership in managing supplier relationships and implementing robust installation strategies will directly contribute to operational excellence and the achievement of long-term strategic goals.

We are looking for someone with deep understanding of manufacturing processes and a solid grasp of operational excellence within a Lean framework. A keen awareness of how technology can drive operational improvements is essential. Your qualifications should include:

• Proven experience leading technology development and deployment in packaging, FMCG, or industrial automation.

• Deep expertise in DfM, LEAN, and continuous improvement methodologies.

• A track record of strategic leadership at scale, influencing stakeholders across functions and geographies.

• Experience in supplier globalization, low-cost sourcing, and building resilient global networks.

• Passion for innovation and sustainability, and the courage to challenge the status quo.
