Job Description Just imagine helping create safe, empowering LEGO® League experiences for students around the world. Then make it real. This Manager Specialist position is based in Billund. Relocation isn't offered.

About the role

As our Child Safeguarding Manager, LEGO® League Experiences, you'll play a central role in building a culture of effective child safeguarding across LEGO® Education's LEGO® League programme on a global scale. You'll work with diverse stakeholder groups across design, partnerships, programmes, digital products, events, and more to ensure participating children can engage in safe, positive, and rewarding experiences. You'll help embed the LEGO Group's Child Safeguarding Policy into the foundations of the LEGO League programme from the very beginning by developing safeguarding processes (recently handled by third‑party provider), governance frameworks, reporting mechanisms, training, and ways of working that support programme delivery globally. This is a unique opportunity to shape a growing safeguarding agenda and become a trusted subject matter expert for colleagues and partners around the world.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience working within child safeguarding, child protection, safety programmes, law enforcement collaboration, policy development, or related fields in a global company, NGO, educational institution, or similar organisation.
• Proven experience with development, implementation and/or execution of child safeguarding or other safety processes at scale.
• Strong Project Management and/or Event Management experience, ideally supported by relevant certifications, formal training, or demonstrated delivery of complex initiatives.
• Demonstrated Stakeholder Management experience, building trusted relationships across internal teams, partners, and external stakeholders.
• Experience coordinating and influencing a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders across multiple functions and levels.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership, work independently, and translate strategy into practical execution in a hands‑on environment.
• Applied strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to assess risks, investigate issues, and recommend effective solutions.
• Fluent English communication skills, both written and verbal.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional proficiency in Danish.
• Demonstrated Risk Management experience, ideally within safeguarding, compliance, education, or youth‑focused environments.
• Experience creating training, guidance materials, governance frameworks, or safeguarding resources.
• Familiarity with digital products, online communities, or programmes involving interactions with children from diverse backgrounds.

What you'll build

• A robust child safeguarding framework that supports LEGO League experiences globally.
• Safeguarding policies, governance processes, and reporting mechanisms that are practical and scalable.
• Strong relationships with LEGO Education stakeholders and programme partners.
• Effective processes for handling safeguarding requests, assessments, questions, and escalations.
• Training and awareness initiatives that strengthen safeguarding capability across the programme.
• A culture where safeguarding is embedded into everyday decision‑making.

If you've worked in a role where you managed safeguarding, compliance, safety, or risk‑related initiatives across multiple stakeholder groups, you'll feel at home here. What matters most is your ability to turn requirements into practical solutions, navigate complexity with confidence, and build credibility with a wide range of partners.

Life on the team

You'll join the Digital Product Safety team, which plays an important role in creating safe and compliant experiences for children wherever they interact with the LEGO Group. Our work spans both child safeguarding and safety across physical and digital experiences, from programmes and events to digital products, online communities, and direct interactions between LEGO Group colleagues and children. The team is primarily based in Billund, with one colleague based in our London Hub. We make a conscious effort to stay connected throughout the week so everyone feels included, regardless of location. For our Billund‑based colleagues, we regularly come together on shared anchor days while balancing time working from home and alongside stakeholders across the business.

You'll work in a collaborative environment where strong Stakeholder Management, Business Communications, and Organizational Management skills are highly valued. The team partners closely with colleagues across product development, community management, legal, compliance, risk, and LEGO Education to embed safeguarding into everyday decision‑making.

What success looks like

Success means the LEGO Group's Child Safeguarding Policy is fully integrated into the foundations of the LEGO League programme and that you've built trusted relationships across key stakeholder groups. By the end of your first year, you'll be viewed as a reliable safeguarding subject matter expert, providing practical guidance and support across the programme. Over the next 12 to 18 months, you'll help strengthen policies, processes, training resources, reporting mechanisms, and assessment frameworks. You'll play a key role in delivering safeguarding training to internal and partner stakeholders, implementing safeguarding reporting and assessment processes, and developing formal ways of working with LEGO Education teams to ensure children continue to have safe and positive experiences wherever they engage with the LEGO Group.
