What we are looking for:
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Packaging Engineering, Industrial Design, Project Management, or a related field
  • 7+ years of experience in project management, packaging development, or a related role within the consumer products or toy industry
  • Deep understanding of packaging materials, manufacturing processes, and design principles, particularly within the toy or consumer goods industry
  • Knowledge of industry-specific regulations and standards (ASTM, EN-71, etc.)
  • Experience working with overseas manufacturers and vendors
  • Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, often with a high degree of autonomy
  • Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Experience in sustainability initiatives and implementing eco-friendly packaging solutions

  • Native German skills, as well as fluency in English
  • Willingness to work on-site at our Düsseldorf office two days/week and to visit our Schwäbisch Gmünd office on a monthly basis

  • Come as you are: This applies not only to the dress code but also to everything else. Because only where you truly feel comfortable can you give your best.
  • Mobility: Choose the option that suits you best - a Deutschlandticket (public transport ticket) for unlimited mobility, a monthly contribution for an office parking space, a leasing bicycle, or a remote work subsidy.
  • Enhanced Security: Benefit from subsidies for company pension plans, occupational pension schemes, and occupational disability insurance.
