    • De ce te vom iubi

    At IKEA, we believe in creating a better everyday life for the many people — and that starts with meaningful, inspiring store environments.
    We are looking for someone who combines creativity, commercial thinking, and attention to detail, and who is passionate about home furnishing and how people live.

    You:

    • Have education in architecture, retail/environmental design, interior design or a related field;
    • Bring experience in retail design, visual merchandising;
    • Have a strong commercial mindset and understand how design drives sales;
    • Are confident using design tools (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe, etc.);
    • Translate ideas into practical, simple, and cost-conscious solutions;
    • Feel comfortable working in a hands-on way and enjoy bringing ideas to life using tools and materials — from planning to building and installing (yes, including using a screwdriver);
    • Enjoy working cross-functionally and building strong relationships;
    • Communicate fluently in English and Romanian.

    You are motivated by working in a fast-paced, ever-changing retail environment, where both creativity and practical execution go hand in hand.

    O ZI DIN VIAȚA TA ALĂTURI DE NOI

    As a Shop Design Specialist, you contribute to positioning the IKEA store as the first choice for home furnishing in your local market.

    You will:

    • Plan and implement store layouts and shop design solutions that are commercial, inspiring, and reflect the IKEA identity;
    • Strengthen the customer experience by creating easy, seamless, and engaging shopping journeys;
    • Work closely with Sales, Marketing, and Logistics to support sales growth and profitability;
    • Use customer insights, data, and trends to improve solutions and meet local needs;
    • Secure that all design solutions are simple, sustainable, cost-efficient, and safe;
    • Actively contribute to store projects, rebuilds, range changes, and commercial activities.

    Împreună ca o echipă

    You will be part of the Home Furnishing & Retail Design team, working to strengthen the IKEA brand and create a unique, meaningful experience for our customers.

    We collaborate across functions, combining design, commercial thinking, and customer insights to make IKEA Timișoara a destination store.
    We work with a strong sense of togetherness, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
