You as part of tonies:

As a Production Project Manager, you will be responsible for implementing standardized, reliable, and lean manufacturing processes to support our Toniebox suppliers. Acting as a key interface between internal product development and external manufacturing partners, you’ll ensure efficient, high-quality, and scalable production. Your contributions will play a vital role in driving continuous improvement and operational excellence in a high-volume consumer electronics production environment.

Your tasks and responsibilities will include:

Project Management: Plan, coordinate, implement, and document production-related projects in close collaboration with key stakeholders.
Lean Processes Implementation: Design, maintain, and optimize production workflows to ensure efficiency, stability, and quality at supplier sites.
Automation & Optimization: Identify opportunities for process automation and apply Lean Six Sigma methodologies to improve production performance.
Supplier Management: Work closely with manufacturing partners to ensure smooth operations, high product quality, and ongoing improvement initiatives.
Process Monitoring & Continuous Improvement: Analyze production performance, apply lean management tools, and drive cost-effective enhancements.
Quality Assurance: Ensure adherence to quality standards and initiate corrective actions when necessary.
Training & Knowledge Sharing: Conduct workshops and training sessions to embed lean manufacturing principles across internal and external teams.

What we are looking for:

A technical degree in Engineering, Production, Mechanical Engineering, Automation, or a related field.
At least 5 years of experience in production management or a similar role.
Solid experience in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, ideally in a high-volume consumer electronics environment.
A structured, solution-oriented, and hands-on approach to project management.
Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across interdisciplinary and international teams.
A team player with a proactive mindset and a passion for solving problems.
Someone who embraces our company culture—collaborative, open-minded, and eager to make a real impact.
Business-fluent English; German is a plus.
Willingness to travel regularly to supplier sites.

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.
Rest & Time Off: Enjoy 30 days of paid annual leave as well as three additional days off such as Rosenmontag, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. After one year of employment, you can also use up to 10 "toniecation days" (unpaid leave days).
Continuous Learning: Benefit from our internal and external training opportunities as well as an individual learning budget to continuously expand your knowledge.
Language Learning & Relaxation: Improve your communication skills with the language learning app Babbel and find relaxation through our access to the meditation app Calm.
