Newell Brands is a leading consumer products company with a portfolio of iconic brands like Graco®, Coleman®, Oster®, Rubbermaid®, Sharpie® and Yankee Candle® - and 24,000 talented teammates around the world. Our culture is built on values in action:
Integrity, Teamwork, Passion for Winning, Ownership, and Leadership. We work together to win, grow, and make a real impact—supported by a high-performing, inclusive, and collaborative environment where you can be your best, every day.
The Sr. Lead, Segment Ingetration – Injection Molding is a central, capability-focused role responsible for driving integration and synergy of the injection molding manufacturing capability across Newell's plants, spanning all product segments that rely on injection molding. Unlike a category-based SPI, this role integrates a manufacturing capability horizontally: traveling across plants, the SPI harmonizes molding standards, tooling and process practices, drives cross-plant synergies (common tooling standards, resins, process parameters, mold sourcing), and feeds injection molding capability intelligence back into the MDC / NPC and ERA / DFM organizations.
Job Duties- Cross-Plant Injection Molding Integration & Synergy
- Drive synergy of the injection molding capability across plants – common tooling standards, mold-design guidelines, resins, process parameters and suppliers.
- Identify, quantify and champion molding-related synergy and cost-reduction opportunities (tooling commonality, resin harmonization, mold sourcing, scrap and cycle-time improvement).
- Harmonize injection molding standards, mold specifications and process practices across sites.
- Share and scale molding best practices, lessons learned and proven solutions across the network.
- Molding Standards & Process Consistency
- Ensure injection molding standards, mold specs and process requirements are consistently understood and applied across plants – without owning change control.
- Provide injection molding technical expertise and guidance to plant teams.
- Flag molding process gaps, tooling risks and deviations to the relevant owners (plant / NPI / ERA-DFM) and support resolution.
- Tooling, Resins & Technology
- Support harmonization of mold / tooling standards, resin selection and molding technology across plants.
- Promote adoption of advanced molding technology, automation and process improvements.
- Partner with toolmakers and resin suppliers on standards, feasibility and cost.
- Capability Intelligence & DFM Linkage
- Capture injection molding capability intelligence (process performance, scrap, cycle time, tooling health) and feed it back into NPC design and ERA / DFM.
- Ensure new product designs leverage the network's molding capabilities and standards (design for injection molding).
- Maintain a capability-level view of injection molding across the network.
- Cost & VAVE Synergy Support
- Support cost analyses and VAVE by surfacing molding-related commonality and synergy (tooling, resin, process).
- Partner with Cost Engineering, sourcing and the laboratory on should-cost, benchmarking and molding cost-reduction that scales across sites.
Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Plastics / Polymer, Manufacturing or related). Strong experience in injection molding – process, tooling and part design – in a manufacturing environment. Deep understanding of molding processes, mold design, resins and molding troubleshooting. Proven ability to influence and drive alignment across teams and plants without direct authority. Advanced English (written and spoken). Willingness and ability to travel extensively across plants.
Preferred QualificationsExperience working across multiple plants, sites or regions. Expertise with mold-filling simulation (Moldflow), scientific molding / DOE and process optimization. Knowledge of DFM for…
