New VAPS Manager to be recruited in Stockholm Market, Gallerian

About this work area
September 1st, 2023, Ingka Group adds 20 new VAPS markets, both “stand alone” VAPS markets and VAPS markets within VAPS areas.
All of them have strong city penetration plans.
With VAPS, we develop existing ways of working, create and utilize business opportunities. All with the purpose of a better customer meeting and an improved IKEA retail business. VAPS follows the total market approach and includes responsibility for all customer meeting points, digital and physical, and the new ways of working with one Profit & Loss and a penetration plan for the market.
VAPS gives the VAPS Market Manager increased responsibility and freedom to operate the Market within a clear agreed framework and to profit financially from maximising the potential. The VAPS Market Managers do a long-term, significant investment of their own money.
We are looking for entrepreneurs with the right competence and energy to lead the business and people agenda. Full details to be found in the competence profile. With this recruitment we want to get closer to a gender balance among existing and new VAPS Managers.
