In this role, you act as a clear role model and ambassador for IKEA values.

    WHY CHOOSE US?
    At IKEA, no two days are the same — and every role offers much more than just a job. We value you for who you are and are curious about what you bring, your experience, your ambitions and your willingness to learn. Our culture and values are at the heart of what makes IKEA unique, both as a brand and as a workplace.

    IKEA is a secure and responsible employer that offers competitive salary conditions. We have good pension and insurance schemes, staff discounts at IKEA and good opportunities to develop further at IKEA if you wish. We can offer a diverse and value-driven work environment – and we have fun together at work.

    Your responsibilities

    In this role, you will be responsible for safeguarding IKEA Norway`s business, people, customers, assets and brand by leading all legal, governance, risk and compliance matters and by driving a proactive, integrated approach that supports sustainable growth and commercial performance.

    To be more spesific, you will
    • Lead the country planning process for Legal, Business Risk & Compliance, ensuring alignment with business priorities and risk appetite
    • Act as a trusted advisor to Country Management, providing clear and actionable legal, risk and compliance insights
    • Identify, assess and mitigate key legal and business risks while supporting commercial opportunities
    • Lead crisis management and preparedness, securing robust routines, response plans and awareness across the organisation
    • Review, draft and negotiate commercial agreements to ensure legal quality, business relevance and value creation
    • Secure effective corporate governance, including compliance with steering documents, delegations of authority and internal controls

    Who you are

    At IKEA, we believe strong leadership and collaboration are key to success. You are a person who leads through people and builds trust, clarity and engagement across the organisation. You communicate with impact and confidence, effortlessly influencing decisions at senior levels. You think commercially and strategically, always grounded in strong integrity and ethical standards. You thrive in complexity and navigate ambiguity with ease in a fast‑moving retail environment. You naturally create strong networks and partnerships across functions, countries and external stakeholders, and you live and demonstrate IKEA values in everything you do.

    YOU ALSO BRING

    • Proven experience from a commercial and/or retail environment, ideally within a multinational organisation
    • A broad professional background spanning legal, governance, risk and/or compliance – going beyond a traditional legal scope
