You combine technical depth with a product leadership mindset. You understand that a great cloud platform is one that gets out of the way of the developer while maintaining total resilience. You lead with IKEA values, developing a high-performing team that takes total ownership of the platform’s success.

You are a pioneer of modern cloud engineering, comfortable with:

Landing Zone Automation: Treating infrastructure as software to create a consistent, global foundation.

Policy-as-Code (OPA): Using technology to enable safe, decentralized decision-making.

Developer Experience (DevEx): A passion for shortening delivery cycles together with the DevEx platform team, and making life easier for engineering teams.

You understand how IKEA works as a franchise system and have a good sense of our strategic direction and core business needs. You enjoy translating complex technical topics into simple business language, staying close to market trends and emerging technologies to guide future decisions. Budget awareness, cost optimisation and strong organisational skills help you lead transformation in a clear and structured way, even in fast‑changing or ambiguous situations.

You’re a people‑centred leader who develops high‑performing technical teams and builds strong collaboration across units. Motivated by the IKEA culture and values, you bring energy to platform development and take initiative to drive results. You know how to influence others, navigate complexity and integrate governance, security and resilience into platform strategies. With a growth mindset, excellent communication skills and a passion for continuous improvement, you help create better solutions for the many.

Total Accountability: Proven experience in owning a large-scale public cloud domain, from strategy to unit cost economics (FinOps).

Product-Led Mindset: A track record of building platforms that focus on ease-of-use, self-service, and high adoption.

Strategic Influence: The ability to move the organization toward cloud-native adoption through mentorship and shared standards.

Resilience & Security-by-Design: An "automated-first" approach to risk management and compliance.

Hands‑on experience with software engineering at scale, such as landing zone automation, Policy‑as‑Code (OPA) and working with hyperscaler shared‑responsibility models.

Proven ability to lead and develop high‑performing technical teams, coach others and drive organisational change across mixed sourcing models.

Experience owning budgets and managing cost within a defined domain or organisational area.

Deep knowledge of technology trends, emerging solutions and best practices for platform lifecycle management, modernisation and portfolio governance.
