WHO YOU ARE
We are looking for you who is passionate about building unique customer experiences via digital channels. You are a strong communicator and motivated by our vision of providing a better everyday life for the many people.
We’ve embarked on an exciting journey to transform our shopping centres into destinations. We call these destinations meeting places. Together with IKEA and other partners Ingka Centres co-create virtual and physical meeting places where the many can meet, find what they need, and connect with their communities and the world.
We have big plans for the future that involve expanding to new locations, opening smaller-scale concepts closer to the city centers, digitalization of a typically physical experience and living up to shared sustainability goals. Does it sound exciting?
We believe you have experience in:
• Product development, preferably in the Martech, retail or other commercial contexts
• Developing relevant technology projects in an international company and environment
• Designing and delivering impactful omnichannel experiences
• Agile delivery and DevOps environments, in which requirements and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing, cross-functional product teams
• Turning insights into actions and work in a data-driven fashion, manage multiple tasks in a rapidly changing environment with great attention to details
• Seeing the bigger picture, setting the right priorities for yourself and leading others to do so as well
You should have a university degree in Computer Science, or equivalent. You should have excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
We welcome the diversity of thought, background, and culture in our team, to make great ideas a reality.
