Communication Specialist
At IKEA, we do things a little different. We think differently. Act differently. And work differently as well. We like to break things. Like rules. And then make things. Like music-playing lamps. And beds disguised as sofas. Even plant balls that help us look after our planet.
It’s all part of our vision - to create a better everyday life for the many. By 2030, we hope to help millions more look forward to going home.
Want to help make this happen? Join our Supply Communication team! It’s filled with curious and passionate people who get energy from influencing, interacting, and working together to deliver great business results. Does it sound like your kind of people?
We have a temporary, one-year assignment available as Communication Specialist on the Supply Communication Operations team. If you love to communicate with the receiver in mind, collaborate through networks and get things done, you'll feel right at home.
