• You are energetic, commercially minded, solution-oriented, and always looking for new and better ideas.
• You are flexible, have a practical approach to your responsibilities, and can meet set deadlines.

Good for our planet and for you

What we do today, we will do even better tomorrow. Together, we care for people and the environment. And IKEA also takes good care of you:

• From the age of 18, depending on your knowledge and experience, you will receive an all-in hourly wage starting at €20.14 per hour. This hourly wage includes a 13th month and 8% holiday allowance.
