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
  • Proficiency in project management software (e.g., Jira, Asana, or similar tools)
  • 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 

Why tonies?
  • Global Teamwork: We collaborate across departmental and country borders on our vision to bring the Toniebox into every child's room in the world.
  • 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).
  • Flexible Working: Equipped with individual equipment, you can work remotely for up to 5 days in consultation with your team - depending on your area of responsibility. And if you're up for a workation, you can work from abroad for up to 4 weeks per year with us.
  • Continuous Learning: Benefit from our internal and external training opportunities as well as an individual learning budget to continuously expand your knowledge.
