About IKEA
At IKEA, we do things a little different. We think, differently. Act, differently. And work differently as well. We like to break things. Like rules. And then make things. Like music-playing lamps. And beds disguised as sofas. Even plantballs that help us look after our planet. It's all part of our vision - to create a better everyday life for the many. And it's been keeping our co-workers going for over 75 years. By 2030, we hope to help millions more look forward to going home. Maybe you can help us.

IKEA Supply is responsible for securing that the product offer is produced and delivered to our customers.

We lead the supply agenda across many functions and work together with all business areas, different business units, but also retail markets to secure customer availability in all markets and sales channels at lowest total cost.

At IKEA we believe that we're better when we're physically together for collaboration, dialogues and conversations.

We believe in the power of human interactions; the informal chats, the energy, belonging and creativity generated by people being in the same place.

Our approach is that we spend most of our time in the IKEA workplace and with flexibility to work from home when relevant.

Another thing fueling our success is our values-based culture.

While we are unique individuals with endless differences, something we share is our commitment to lead by example, work together, find better ways and to get things done.

We believe in life-long learning, where we all play a part in helping each other (and our business) grow.
