· Conceptual knowledge of data models (e.g. hierarchical, relational) and ability to translate them into practical improvements
· Extensive knowledge of common issues related to data quality, and how to improve them
· Good knowledge of data ethics related challenges in society and how they impact operations in IKEA (collection, storage and usage)
· Extensive understanding of data privacy regulatory frameworks, and how to actively work with compliance at IKEA in different markets
· Are passionate about the possibilities of Data & Analytics and the value it can generate for business
This is our wish list! If you don’t recognize yourself in all these points, you might still be an excellent candidate for the role. We like to think long-term and invest in people’s development together with us.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING DAY TO DAY
You will be part of leading the transformation of IKEA into a more data-driven company by ensuring that we have the right data, in the right place and at the right time. As a natural part of the product development within the People Domain in IKEA you enable high speed in solving data issues and support decision making with high-quality data.
For example, we are working to solve problems like:
· How can we be quicker in spotting issues in data quality?
· How can we motivate the people around us to take care of their data, and be just as excited as us about the opportunities that the data present?
· How can we make it easier to use the data we have?
· How can we ensure that the right people have access to the right data at the right time?
· How can we maximize learning from our data, and at the same time ensure that we continue to have Data Ethics as our main priority?
