    • Why you should Join IKEA for Business team?

    Hej! My name is Ramón and I am privileged to lead the global engineering teams of IKEA for Business.

    In IKEA for Business, we allow other companies around the world to deliver upon their dreams with our interior design solutions and products – be it a small tech start-up with a handful of employees, a local restaurant that wants to expand, or a large real estate development firm that needs thousands of kitchens for their next project. The scale and diversity of IKEA for Business is mind-blowing, and we are looking for an extraordinary team that will tackle it all.  

    IKEA for Business is also one of the main growth contribution areas for us as a company.  Already a multi-billion euro line of business for IKEA, and it is poised to grow substantially over the coming years.  

    This area is being driven by our team in the IKEA global digital hub in Madrid, so this is a unique opportunity for technology leaders who are based in Spain and want to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime transformation in one of the most iconic companies worldwide.


    What does an Engineering Manager do at IKEA?

    As an engineering manager, you are the line manager for a team of software engineers and you are accountable for the technical delivery within our digital organisation. You will have the exciting challenge to:

    - Build and run the technology that underpins our global 40 Billion Euro business, operating across 377+ stores and 30 countries.

    - Driving innovation across the software landscape, from creating greenfield solutions to evolving and integrating existing systems, achieving massive scale impact in one of IKEA's key strategic areas for the coming years.

    - Work in a startup-like environment, but with all the support of a global, iconic and value-driven company like IKEA.

    - Lead, inspire and motivate a high-performing team of engineers. You will help the teams drive a cloud first agenda, adhere to modern software engineering principles and best practices, utilize the proper tools, and automate everything to enable the specified business outcomes. Recruitment, performance, competence and career development of individuals will also be part of your responsibilities.

    - Provide technical domain knowledge, architectural leadership and coach the teams in high-class standards for software engineering and operations

    - Work closely with the assigned product owners and all groups within the Digital Technology organisation to deliver the assigned digital products and services

    - Help build a digital mindset and an engineering culture that is accountability and results-oriented, where Lean principles and a DevOps mindset will be in the core.


    We are big believers in enabling our leaders to act with autonomy and as such you would lead on the technical decisions of how you want to build and implement your products.

    The home office for this role will be Madrid, but there will be travel globally to meet some stakeholders and partners. We believe a healthy and flexible life balance is important, so together we will strive to create a work environment where you feel in control of your life balance, can be yourself, grow and excel in both your personal and professional life.


    What would we ask from you?

    We are looking for technology leaders who share our values and are ready to change the world and be part of an ambitious, yet exciting journey within IKEA.

    The ideal candidate will excel in the following four areas:
