You thrive in an environment where high quality is essential, and you have the experience and courage to drive change.

- Identify with IKEA’s values.
- Are creative and have a strong aesthetic sense with a high focus on quality.
- Have a good ability to express yourself in both speech and writing.
- Can work independently and in a team and have experience in planning and implementing projects or major change processes.

A day in your life with us
A day as a Marketing and Activity Specialist often varies, and the pace can shift quickly throughout the day. It is an advantage if you enjoy the combination of strategic and operational work. Your day might start with creating content for social media, continue with meetings with one of our partners to plan a campaign, and end with proofreading text. The next day, you might be editing videos in the morning and spending the afternoon developing a strategy for next year’s activities. Several times a year, tasks may require you to enjoy speaking in front of people, such as addressing media/press and hosting events/lectures.
You work independently in this role and should enjoy driving your own processes, while also being responsible for maintaining collaboration with our partners. You will report directly to the Market Manager.
