THE BUSINESS
The LEGO Group is not just in the business of toys. It is in the business of imagination at scale. Increasingly, that imagination is being redirected toward sustainability, materials innovation, and long-term system change.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This role sits where influence meets infrastructure.
As Senior Manager, Sustainability, you will help shape how materials, partnerships, and external ecosystems evolve to enable a low-carbon future. Not internally alone, but across industries.
This is ecosystem strategy. Not just corporate sustainability.

You Will
- Co-shape and drive 2 to 3 high-impact initiatives focused on decarbonizing materials.
- Manage strategic partnerships with key external stakeholders.
- Identify and engage emerging trends, technologies, and collaborators.
- Support senior leadership, including the Chief Sustainability Officer, on high-level agendas and positioning.
- Contribute to long-term system change strategies and sustainability roadmaps.
- Collaborate across internal teams including materials strategy, public affairs, and communications.
