Life on the team

Regional Supply Chain Operations connects commercial demand with operational execution. Together, we help markets maintain strong service while navigating cost, capacity and resource constraints. You'll collaborate openly, communicate complex topics clearly and stand behind your recommendations. You'll remain effective as priorities shift and seek to understand existing processes before finding better ways forward.

What success looks like

You'll create clear direction for EMEA Supply Chain and strengthen how priorities, investments and transformation are governed. Your impact will come through strategic ownership, sound judgement and the ability to bring teams together around a shared direction, rather than through direct people management.

Working closely with Global Supply Chain, Commercial, Procurement, Finance, Technology and Business Unit leaders, you'll keep regional execution connected to the wider ambitions of the LEGO Group.
