HEJ!

Are you motivated by working through others to achieve set goals? If Excel gets you excited, your mind is analytical, and you have the ability to see the details and how they affect the big picture - then I’m looking forward reading your application!
My name is Sara Schill, Market Manager at the IKEA Store in Älmhult. I am looking for our new Business Navigation & Operation manager who wants to be part of, inspire and lead Ikea Älmhult forward!
This role will fit if you are:
Brave – You dare to try new things, with an entrepreneur kind of approach. You feel comfortable making decisions even if you do not yet have all the facts or details presented. At the same time, you know to slow things down when needed.
Great at building relationships – You easily share your thoughts, vision and ideas. You have the ability to inspire others and get the team on board. At the same time, you must dare to challenge, set expectations and delegate responsibility to your teammates. This way we can achieve the best possible results - TOGETHER!
Master communicator - You are flexible in adapting your communication to different recipients and target groups. You need to have the ability to convey complex information understandable – in an easy and inspiring way.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING DAY TO DAY
In the role of Business Navigation & Operation manager, your primary task is to coach and lead the managers in how we work with costs to achieve growth and sustainable profitability. You are responsible for communicating the financial goals of the Älmhult store, and support through navigation to close possible deviations.
Through your solid forecast and analysis work, together with your knowledge of different work processes, you will contribute to a more efficient every day at IKEA Älmhult store. We see that you are constantly looking for opportunities for increased growth and profitability by gathering different types of information and comparisons from other IKEA stores.
Furthermore, you will ensure that all financial and operational processes work excellently and that all laws and regulations are complied with. The role also includes responsibility for budget, forecast and earnings reporting based on IKEA's global annual cycle.
In the role of Business Navigation & Operation manager, you are a part of the management team and report directly to me! In your role, you will have two managers who report directly to you – the Safety & security Manager and the Recovery Manager, who leads our circular hub. We are an international and diverse store, and therefore you need to be fluent in Swedish and English - both spoken and written.
