Platform Project Manager

Join us to lead the development and implementation of injection-mould platform technologies that deliver scalable, cost‑effective solutions across The LEGO Group. As Platform Project Manager you’ll guide technology from concept through qualification to production, working closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure solutions deliver real business value. 

Core Responsibilities 

• Plan and lead NPI Technology projects from concept through qualification and production adoption, using Technology Readiness Levels and Manufacturing Readiness Levels to guide progress. 

• Build clear development plans, with scope, timeline, resource, risk and dependencies. 

• Partner with Stakeholders across the value chain from Design to Moulding, ensuring alignment on project plans and dependencies to enable value delivery. 

• Apply structured quality and maturity practices with: Advanced Product Quality Planning, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (design and process), Control Plans. 

• Role model and facilitate structured engineering processes and decisions as part of Technology Development. 

• Develop, standardize, and optimize project execution processes, tools, and ways of working to strengthen platform ways of working maturity. 

• Provide transparent and engaging reporting on progress, risks, and findings to collaborators and leadership. 

• Contribute to continuous improvement and capability building within the team and across the organization, focusing on VOC, iterative learning goals, progress tracking, and reporting. 

Play your part in our team succeeding 

The ME Platform team is responsible for developing innovative, scalable, and cost-effective high-volume mould platforms to support the future growth of the LEGO Group. 

Play a key role in bringing mould platform technologies from idea to implemented solution, and ensure that our platforms don’t just exist, but deliver real business value across the organisation. 

Do you have what it takes 

A background in project management and injection moulding industry, mechanical engineering, or manufacturing is highly valued, along with comfort in navigating complex deployments, organizational dynamics, and partner collaboration. 

A passion for building structure, seeing projects through to completion, and being at the center of delivering tangible results is crucial. Curiosity and a willingness to lead, regardless of formal authority, are key traits, along with a strong motivation for achieving meaningful outcomes. 

The ideal candidate will bring: 

• Experience with moulding, eg injection moulding, die moulding, mould manufacturing

• Several years experience with project management, handling cost-time, quality, gap analysis and risk analysis

• Experience with leading projects across different teams in engineering or manufacturing environments

• Experience with structured development, quality and maturity models such as TRL/MRL, DFMEA, PFMEA, and APQP (experience in applying them is highly valued) 

• Track record of taking Technology from idea to scaled production using TRL/MRL or equivalent maturity models. 

• Strong technical understanding of engineering and manufacturing processes, with the ability to facilitate rather than implement solutions. 

• Ability to plan, prioritize, and align resources and budgets effectively. 

• Structured problem-solving approach with proven experience in driving risk management together with experts. 

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with ability to collaborate across functions and levels. 

• A team-oriented approach with the ability to empower others, build alignment, and deliver results in a complex environment.
