You'll connect mould construction, manufacture and production readiness, ensuring moulds produce the required elements while improving how the operation performs. You'll also strengthen global alignment and help move new technologies from development into scalable manufacturing.

What you’ll build

Lead and develop the Low Volume Moulds team, with clear ownership from mould construction through manufacturing and production readiness.

Your first year is about making new technologies work reliably at scale, developing the team’s capabilities and improving cost and lead-time performance. Looking further ahead, you’ll help industrialise multi-component moulding, embed robust design principles and take process management and execution to the next level. You’ll do this alongside your team, global peers, novelty element design specialists and moulding production leaders.
