EXCEPTIONAL TIMES REQUIRE EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP!
This is one of the most important times in our history as we transform into a truly digital Ingka Group, and it’s now more important than ever to build a stronger, more connected and better equipped leadership community.

You make a difference with your resilience and leadership both externally and internally connected to taking the business lead needed.
Beside this extensive experience in both leadership and change management, you will be commercially driven and have a strong focus on performance and juggling many things at once will be something that you enjoy. Naturally curious, with optimistic mindset, you will challenge with new thinking, new approaches and new solutions, and will work as a strong collaborator leader to ensure our interdependency and co-creation is at the forefront of how we ensure business needs are met.
You will be a role model for leadership and have experience in leading your own global team of senior experts to deliver strategic goals and objectives.
Finally, you always have the IKEA Culture and Values at heart and act as a true ambassador in everything you do and decide.

As such, you will deliver global leadership and change programmes, ensuring scalability through appropriate delivery methods (e.g. virtual, on demand, blended learning etc).
