Why we will love you

We are on a journey to create a new IKEA. An IKEA that is more affordable, accessible, and sustainable, and lives up to our vision of “creating a better everyday life for the many people”. To achieve this, we have a challenge; to match the needs of our customers with our co-worker’s availability in an omnichannel reality. This is the essence of what we do within People Planning at Group Digital, and we’re now looking for a Product Owner to join the team!

You will belong to the People Domain within Group Digital and your main responsibility will be the optimization of the experience our co-workers have with People Planning tools. In short, you’re responsible for making it easy to be a co-worker, regardless of role, in a fast-changing world. People Planning is an area with many rules and regulations and a big challenge is to analyze and find the best and smoothest solution to meet different needs, collaborating with stakeholders both inside and outside of digital. You and your team will be at the core of this, empowering both co-workers and business, always advocating for the best experience of the co-worker.

We believe you have an extensive experience of iterative and agile product development as well as knowledge in techniques and tools used for discovery, delivery, and continuous improvement. You have worked with setting a product vision & strategy for the team and making sure everybody knows where we’re going (and why). Preferably you have a data informed mindset and have worked with quantitative and qualitative data to define and measure success. If you also have worked with the HR technology landscape, creating products that meets coworkers every day needs, it would be a definite plus.

A day in your life with us

In your daily work you will coach the product team, consisting of specialists within their fields, to prioritize the right tasks, think new and be bold. Challenging set ways and finding opportunities to do better, using the right tools and technology. We are constantly looking for that IKEA uniqueness – which requires deep understanding of user and business needs, throughout all roles and markets. Having a continuous dialogue with end users is a vital to achieve this understanding.

You will ensure that we measure our initiatives and deliverables against the expected outcome and, are not shy of calling it out if an initiative needs to be stopped or redirected. Your colleagues will look to you for roadmaps, vision, and strategy for your area.

You will:

Set vision, strategy, and metrics for your area, in close collaboration with other POs and Product Team Leader in People Planning
