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.

You will supervise the Recruitment, Learning Delivery and Mobility team which consists of about 12 team members. You will report to the Country P&C Location Operational Services Manager.

Within Recruitment, we are making sure that we have the right people at the right place at the right moment. Within Learning Delivery we make sure that all prerequisites are in place to secure exceptional training experience to our co-workers. And last, but not least, within Mobility, we are making sure everything is in place for our co-workers coming from abroad into our organisation, or vice versa.

For this role, we are looking for an experienced leader who has a passion for operational excellence within People & Culture and wants to make a difference in a dedicated area. You are technically savvy, flexible, stress-resistant, a natural networker, and you always keep in mind: what we do today, how can we do it better tomorrow?
