Our team within IKEA

It’s hard to imagine, but IKEA started out as a small mail-order business in Älmhult, a village in the Swedish countryside. It can now be found in 63 countries offering a unique range of products. Working at IKEA means working in a world of ideas. A world that is described by our own colleagues as a workplace where everyone is welcome and you can be yourself. Where together we make a difference for the many people and the planet. But also a workplace where you determine your own career steps and where there is plenty of room for your practical creativity and ideas. And all this while working in a nice team with colleagues who are always there for you and support you when needed.

You will be part of Business Navigation team together with 3 other Business Analysts and will report to Business Navigation Team Leader. Together, we provide essential insights to help steer 15 units in The Netherlands towards sustainable, profitable growth. As a member of IKEA’s Business Navigation team, you’ll work at IKEA Netherlands Service Office in Haarlem.

At IKEA, we think it’s important that you can be yourself. If you have a sharp eye for detail, are obsessively accurate, and driven by curiosity, you’ll feel right at home with us. And if you’re also a fun and supportive colleague, even better!

What we’re looking for:

• 1–3 years of experience in business or data analysis, with a strong focus on delivering actionable insights
• Proven ability to work with large datasets; hands-on experience with SQL is essential
• Skilled in developing user-centric dashboards, with a solid grasp of dashboard design principles
• Advanced proficiency in Power BI and Excel for data visualization and reporting
• Sound understanding of data governance and best practices for maintaining high data quality
• Ability to communicate complex data in a clear and engaging way
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken
• Knowledge of IKEA’s business landscape, brand identity, and cultural values is a plus
