You'll join the Model Planning & Build team, where we create physical copies of the designers' models for portfolio development, novelty projects, campaigns, selling-in activities, and toy fairs. Together, we build, rebuild, and inspire through openness, trust, and collaboration, while continuously improving how we work and support one another.

The team is entering a period of change as new delivery flows are introduced across locations, creating opportunities to improve planning processes, strengthen team connections, and create even greater transparency around upcoming work.

• Partner with Resource Planning, PMD Planning, and Model Builders to align priorities.

• Support new delivery integrations while maintaining quality and on-time execution.

Do you have what it takes?

• Experience coordinating detailed plans, deadlines, and priorities across collaborative teams.
• Comfortable using Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Power BI to create meaningful insights.
• Knowledge of agile planning approaches and a continuous process improvement mindset.
• Enjoy working closely with colleagues and turning feedback into practical action.

Nice to Have:
