This role is full-time role and can be based in Malmo or Delft. At IKEA we believe that we’re better when we’re physically together for collaboration, dialogues, and conversations.

Our approach is that we spend most of our time in the IKEA workplace and with the flexibility to work from home when relevant. 

In this role you will report to the Group Manager of Security Operations and Incident Response in Shared Data & Technology and work closely with Cybersecurity leaders across Inter IKEA Group to lead towards uniformity and commonality, contributing to the Inter IKEA security and privacy approach to secure IKEA in a connected value chain.  

Creating long term success for IKEA, together 

We want to become an even more affordable, sustainable and accessible home furnishing retailer in an omni-channel reality. We bring business and data & technology together to improve how we work and meet customers, and enable us to focus on creating value. So we can continuously improve and scale IKEA, together with our partners and the many people.  

IKEA Shared Data & Technology builds up, delivers, serves and supports shared data and technology for the IKEA value chain. Together we build a digital foundation to enable our core business partners and franchisees to work more efficiently and create a rewarding customer experience in an omnichannel world. 

Another thing fuelling our success is our values-based culture. While we are unique individuals with endless differences, something we share is our commitment to lead by example, work together, find better ways and to get things done. We believe in life-long learning, where we all play a part in helping each other (and our business) grow.
