    • Who you are

    At IKEA, we believe that people are at the core of our business. We are now seeking motivated candidates for our inspiring leadership trainee program, and we believe you might be the one we are looking for.
    We are looking for someone who not only sees opportunities but is also motivated to learn and grow as a future leader. Your collaborative approach to people and business is key, but you are also able to challenge and improve existing methods. The ability to build relationships and create trust is crucial for us, as we want leaders who continuously contribute to developing those around them.
    We have high expectations for our future trainees and believe that you can match our ambitions to shape the future of leadership at IKEA.

    To thrive as a leadership trainee with us, we expect you to:
    • Show willingness to create improvements that benefit both the business and people.
    • Have an interest in home furnishings and retail, and preferably have experience from the retail industry or from a large organization.
    • Be passionate about leadership and have previous experience in leading, either from previous jobs, school, volunteer work, or other activities.
    • Have clear communication skills in both Danish and English, as English is our corporate language.
    • Be motivated to become a leader in a leading retail organization, with full responsibility for both employees and your part of the business.

    A day in your life with us

    Welcome to a day in your life with us, where your leadership trainee program opens the doors to a world of opportunities and learning. Throughout the program, you will be assigned to a specific department within sales, customer service, logistics or communication and interior design. We ensure that during your leadership trainee period, you will have the opportunity to rotate between different functions, allowing you to explore various areas and gain a versatile experience in your training.
    In collaboration with an experienced leader, you will not only gain insights but also have the opportunity to develop your leadership skills. Here, you will learn the importance of giving and taking responsibility while actively participating in your leader's daily work.
    Our training program has a practical orientation, with most of the learning taking place "on the floor" alongside your colleagues in operations. This not only gives you a unique understanding of the business reality but also the opportunity to translate theory into practice.
    After completing the program, you will have a say in choosing your future department, allowing you to shape your career in line with your interests and competencies.

    Your leadership trainee program will equip you with knowledge about:
    • Your personal leadership style, the ability to lead both yourself and others, and an understanding of IKEA's leadership philosophy.
    • Skills in coaching, development conversations, and handling difficult conversations.
    • Theoretical and practical experience in the retail industry and various business methods.
    • Skills in recruitment, budgeting, and staffing planning.
    We look forward to supporting you in realizing your full potential as a future leader at IKEA!
    Welcome to a program that not only creates leaders but also inspires and transforms.

    The leadership trainee program lasts approximately 18-24 months – you can read more here: www.ikea.dk/leder.
