  • Full-time

Company Description

You see things a little differently. So do we. We put togetherness at the heart of everything we do. Come see things a little differently with us.  

IKEA Range & Supply has the responsibility to develop, design, produce and supply IKEA stores with home furnishing solutions available to the many people.  
Range & Supply Digital leads and guides the totality of the Range & Supply digital landscape by combining business knowledge with digital competence, to realise business opportunities today and tomorrow. The Solution Area manages and develops common solutions and services for Range & Supply, and secures that the digital services provided meet R&S requirements. 

Job Description

During 2019 a number of fundamental changes have taken place in the Range & Supply (R&S) digital workplace; e.g. new tools, such as MS Teams, have been made available. These provide us with new opportunities to increase efficiency as we work together across Range & Supply, but also across the IKEA value chain.  

In this new role as Solution Owner for Microsoft Office 365 at R&S, you will take the lead in enabling R&S to harvest the benefits of these tools, setting a solid foundation for a digital workplace that supports the needs of our colleagues now and in the future. Once the implementation of Office 365 is finalised, you will step into a broader role as Solution Owner for Digital Workplace tools at R&S. 

We want you to ensure that our tools and their use are optimised to increase effectiveness of R&S as an organisation but also resulting in a better everyday life at work. To do so, you will find ways to establish a strong network with users across Range & Supply. 

You will report to the Solution Area Manager at R&S Digital, and work closely with the R&S Digital Workplace Business Reference Group, with colleagues across the Inter IKEA Group, as well as at our service providers.  

More specifically, in this role you will: 

  • Drive the process to complete the implementation of the Office 365 apps, securing adoption across the approx. 7000 users in 28 countries;  
  • Build a foundation for sustainable MS tool competence across R&S, including, for example, a suitable Super User structure. 
  • Identify potential tools made redundant by the introduction of the MS apps. 
  • Represent R&S needs in an Inter IKEA Group digital workplace context, contributing to our common digital workplace. 
  • Support compliance to data privacy and information security requirements. 

Qualifications

You are down-to-earth, straightforward and curious. You want to contribute to the IKEA vision: create a better everyday life for the many people while living the IKEA values. Contributing to the creation of a better everyday life at work for your colleagues at R&S is a source of energy. You are goal and delivery oriented and have the ability to lead in a matrix context. 

Moreover, we also believe that you: 

  • Have a deep understanding of R&S and how we work together as an organisation as well as across the IKEA value chain 
  • Have a passion to improve our everyday life at work at R&S, identifying opportunities and making things happen to bring improvements. 
  • Have extensive knowledge of the MS Office 365 apps and relevant digital technology and business trends 
  • Desire to share knowledge, and develop people and competence. 
  • Have experience of solution ownership or project management at IKEA. 
  • Are able to engage with key stakeholders to understand and translate their needs.  
  • Finally, to succeed we believe that you are a strong relationship builder, able to create trust as a precondition for successful collaboration.
