    • Strong understanding of the end-to-end customer journey in physical environments

    • A structured way of working, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
    • Experience in driving continuous improvement and creating simple, effective ways of working
    • The ability to work across countries, functions, and different business needs
    • A strong connection to IKEA values and a passion for creating a better everyday life for the many people
    We believe you have several years of relevant experience, including leadership experience, and that you are confident working in a complex, international environment.

    Your responsibilities

    As a Markets Concept & Development Leader, you will act as a key business partner and be part of the Markets Leadership Team. You will be the link between global resources, the market leadership team and our Meeting Places on topics connected to concept and development.
    Your role is to support the development and implementation of Meeting Place solutions across the market, always with the customer journey, business needs and IKEA concept in focus.

    In this role, you will:
    • Collaborate closely with Meeting Places across the market to identify needs and translate them into clear development proposals.
    • Support and drive the deployment of Meeting Place solutions together with local teams and market leadership.
    • Secure that the total customer journey in the Meeting Place follows the Meeting Place concept framework.
    • Perform the Meeting Place Concept Review in close collaboration with the Meeting Place Review Leader and other stakeholders.
    • Support the coordination of transformation initiation phases across the market, in collaboration with design and development teams.
    • Create improvement plans for different parts of the customer journey.
    • Guide local teams in simple, effective, and consistent ways of working.
    • Drive alignment, learning, and continuous improvement across countries and functions through usage of best practice sharing.

    You will play an important role in making sure that our Meeting Places stay attractive, competitive and relevant today and tomorrow.
