Communication Specialist

At IKEA, we do things a little differently. We think differently, act differently and work differently too. It is all part of our vision to create a better everyday life for the many people. 

About the team and assignment 

The Communication team leads and enables impactful communication that strengthens the IKEA Brand by creating engagement, building trust and empowering better business. In this role you will have the opportunity to turn business needs into communication that helps people understand, connect and take action. 

We are looking for a hands-on Communication Specialist who is passionate about turning complex business ideas into simple, straightforward and engaging communication solutions using IKEA Tone of Voice. You understand that good communication is not only about words, but strong visualisation and thoughtful layout can help people understand, engage and act. 

In this role, you will create and deliver communication for relevant audiences and channels. You will combine writing, visual communication and publishing with the planning and coordination of assignments that support business priorities. 

You will work closely with colleagues across functions and networks. To succeed, you need to be curious, service-minded and motivated by making communication easier to understand and use. Self-leadership is important: you are comfortable in taking initiative and responsibility for your own deliveries, while contributing as part of a team. 

As Communication Specialist, you will: 

• Coordinate and execute communication tasks and projects that support the development of the business. 

• Create and activate content in relevant channels to reach the right target groups. 

• Make strategic messages clear, simple and understandable to various target groups through inspiring communication using visualisation, layout and storytelling. 

• Secure the IKEA tone of voice by providing relevant support, guidelines, tools and templates. 

• Participate and contribute to relevant networks and cross-functional assignments. 

• Act as an ambassador and role model for the IKEA Brand, culture and values. 

This is a great opportunity for a communication professional who is passionate about using communication as a practical tool to lead business and engage people. You care about simplicity and can balance creativity with structure, quality and delivery.

• You are passionate and proven experience in creating simple communication solutions that support the business and engage people. 

• You understand communication planning, channels and stakeholder needs. 

• You have strong written and spoken communication skills and can communicate in an inspiring way, adapting to the tone of voice of the company. 

• You have practical skills in presentation design and visual concepts. Experience with graphic design and layout using Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Illustrator along with basic knowledge of Photoshop for basic photo editing and image adjustments, is a plus. 

• You are a hands-on, structured and service-minded team player who builds trust, works well with diverse groups and takes responsibility for meeting deadlines. 

• You are fluent in written and spoken English. 

• You are motivated to share and live the IKEA culture and values.

• It is an advantage if you also have 

• Experience with content management systems, web publishing and common communication platforms. 

• A keen interest and curiosity in exploring technical solutions that improve communication and collaboration, such as AI, meeting platforms, SharePoint and similar tools.
