    • Collaborate closely with IKEA teams to ensure strong integration.
    • Integrate community and city-level activities into the commercial calendar, ensuring IKEA Stores becomes an active part of everyday local life.
    • Co-create and manage community spaces (online and offline) that encourage interaction, nurture local talent, support start-ups and showcase the uniqueness of IKEA.
    • Engage community members in sustainability and social responsibility initiatives, promoting a people- and planet-positive agenda.
    • Work closely with internal teams and FFPTs to identify local community needs, risks and opportunities, and ensure leadership awareness and mitigation plans.
    • Lead on-ground engagement with individuals, communities, governments and organisations to support business objectives and long-term partnerships.
    • Drive promotion of events and initiatives across all communication channels, including digital platforms, social media, PR and ATL support.
    • Contribute to additional income streams, co-investment opportunities and partnerships that enhance customer experience while optimising marketing costs.
