    • Who you are

    Are you someone who thrives at the intersection of HR processes and data? Do you have a passion for bringing structure, trust, and clarity to how data flows through an organization? If yes — keep reading, this might be your next role!
    We are looking for a Product Owner to join our People Platform. You will play a key role in shaping how HR data is structured, governed, and delivered — ensuring that business leaders can make informed decisions based on data they can trust.

    We believe you bring:
    • Strong knowledge of HR domain and HR processes and systems – SuccessFactors, Global View — you understand how data flows across the employee lifecycle
    • Experience in data standardization — data models, consistency, and quality
    • Experience owning and communicating a product roadmap, with the ability to prioritize and meet deadlines
    • The ability to identify gaps in data pipelines and translate them into clear use cases for engineering teams
    • Strong stakeholder communication skills — you can bridge business, data, and technology
    • 5–6 years of experience in a similar role within HR Tech or data-driven environments
    • Knowledge of SAP SuccessFactors or similar HR systems is a plus

    This is our wish list! The must-haves we see for this role are:
    • HR domain knowledge and understanding of HR processes
    • Experience with data pipelines or data platform product ownership
    • Strong communication and roadmap management skills

    A day in your life with us

    As a Product Owner in the People Platform team, you will be at the heart of a foundational transformation in HR Tech. Your work will directly impact how data is designed, governed, and delivered — enabling business leaders across IKEA to make informed, data-driven decisions.
    You will own the roadmap for data pipelines that sit at the core of our HR data foundation — identifying what needs to be built, what gaps exist, and ensuring the right use cases are prioritized and delivered on time.

    This means that you will:

    • Own and communicate the product roadmap for HR data pipelines — setting priorities, managing deadlines, and ensuring alignment across teams
    • Identify use cases that are not yet supported by existing pipelines and translate them into clear requirements for engineering teams
    • Collaborate closely with Engineering, Data & Analytics, and Cyber teams to ensure solutions are built to the right standard
    • Gather requirements from vendors and external systems to ensure data flows are complete and fit for purpose
    • Communicate with service delivery teams to ensure that data as a product is operable and reliable
    • Support the People Operations Transformation program by aligning the roadmap to broader organizational priorities

    Together as a team

    You will work in Group Function Digital Area. The Digital Area – Group Functions is a new area built to strengthen digital partnership and delivery across all Group Functions and Global Business Operations (GBO). We develop and deliver digital capabilities across key areas like Finance, People & Culture, Procurement, Legal, Business Risk & Compliance, Communications, Real Estate, Business Steering in Ingka's global organisation.

    You will be part of a team that is leading the foundational transformation in HR Tech — with a clear vision: to bring trustworthy data to business leaders so they can make informed decisions. We sit at the intersection of HR, data, and technology, and we believe that getting the foundation right is what makes everything else possible.
    We are a team that believes in:
    • Building with purpose — every pipeline, every data model, every decision is connected to a real business need
    • Collaboration over silos — we work closely with engineering, data & analytics, cyber, and service delivery
    • Continuous learning and improvement — the landscape is evolving and so are we
    • Transparency — we communicate our roadmap clearly and hold ourselves accountable to it

    IKEA has long been a global leader in home furnishing. We are proud of our vision to improve the everyday life of the many people. But our industry is quickly changing, and we need to adapt to stay competitive.

    We see so many opportunities for what we can accomplish and have the ambition to be a world-class team. At the same time, we believe that our work is not just about building models, but also about learning and having fun together.
