Copywriter

Company Description
What if you could help make everyday life just a little bit better?
The answer is simple: You can. This is what motivates us at IKEA. We’re constantly searching to find new ways to be better. We use insights from real life at home all over the world, learning about the needs and dreams of people. We use our home furnishing knowledge to help inspire people with ideas and solutions that will help them live the life they want.
At IKEA Marketing & Communication, we create world-class creative communication based on real needs, and help the IKEA brand reach and inspire more people. Located in Älmhult, Sweden, we’re a melting pot of many different nationalities and cultures – because in order to make things better for the many, we want to involve people from all parts of the world. But of course, we never forget our Swedish roots, which means our workday is sprinkled with words like “tillsammans” and “fika”.
We’re on the lookout for passionate doers, idea makers and creative thinkers - people who want to find answers to the everyday problems in people’s lives and communicate them in inspiring ways.
Job Description
We’re looking for English-language copywriters to join our global copy team. As a copywriter at IKEA Marketing & Communication, you use creativity and story-telling to stimulate interest in home furnishing, build a strong brand position and increase visitation to IKEA stores and IKEA.com.

Qualifications
You’re a wordsmith that can master the IKEA brand voice, and adapt it to a variety of topics and channels. You’re comfortable working in creative teams, turning strategies and briefs into innovative communication concepts. Because our team is growing, we’re open to a variety of experience levels, from content writer to senior creative lead. Whatever your professional experience, curiosity about people’s everyday lives and needs is a must. And if you also have an interest in sustainability, design, and home furnishing, that’s even better.
What you need:
Native (or near native) English language skills.
Minimum 3 years of copywriting or content writing experience, in-house or at an agency.
