The Commercial Planning Management department is anchored in our Global Commercial Development function. We are working closely with global stakeholders across marketing, product development, and finance to set the global annual plans. We then cascade these plans in our regional, local markets, and with key accounts as well as with our D2C LEGO Retail business. We further monitor commercial performance vs plans, coordinate corrective actions, and activate response options. We are acting as the connecting element between multiple subject matter expertise teams including performance marketing, revenue management, pricing, portfolio deployment, and channel & sales management. We further test our customer satisfaction levels with regular customer pulse surveys and run the commercial integration forum to secure alignment across our commercial development functions across all regions.

Do you have what it takes?

Experience from a commercial development function and from the Consumer Packaged Group industry, are desirable.

To be successful in this role, we expect you to demonstrate:

  • Strong commercial competence, and ability to build and interpret financial frameworks, models and scenarios to guide commercial investment decisions
  • Excellent stakeholder management with the ability to operate with both internal and external collaborators across functions, including experience of driving complex/challenging projects
  • Strategically strong with a pragmatic approach to wider business challenges and ability to thrive when faced with ambiguity
  • Mature analytical skills with a track record of turning insights into action plans and develop crisp communication materials for senior stakeholders
  • A passion for newness, creativity and change management when proposing and implementing innovative ways to grow

Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. However, please note we do amend or withdraw our jobs and reserve the right to do so at any time, including prior to any advertised closing date. So, if you're interested in this role we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

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.
