Trainee - Business Analyst

Hej Business Analyst, Questioning everything? IKEA has the perfect job for you.

Are you ready to touch lives and living rooms all over the world? IKEA is looking for a Data Scientist trainee who isn't afraid to think outside the box. Working with us is all about adding value, playfully challenging everything, and finding new ways to improve lives.

At IKEA, we do things a little differently. We like to break things (like rules) and make things (like planet-friendly?plantballs). We dare to try, and we dare to fail.?And above all else, we are driven by our shared vision – to create a better everyday life for the many people. If our culture speaks to your heart, we would love to hear from you! ???

We are on the lookout for Business Analyst trainees that explore and define business needs and the rationale for change, and recommend solutions that deliver business value. Together with your team, you will be responsible for clarifying business needs and product backlogs.

In addition to the work assignment we also offer a unique opportunity with a one year onboarding program together with other trainees in different roles and countries across IKEA, aiming to give you the best possible start in your IKEA journey. In the trainee program you will be able to get a deeper understanding of the IKEA value chain, business processes, tech challenges and opportunities, our culture and values and more.

What kind of co-worker are we looking for?

We’re searching for someone who thrives in finding better ways to get things done and doesn’t take themselves too seriously. A co-worker who is passionate about the well-being of our planet and considers equal opportunities for everyone a no-brainer. Someone who enjoys collaboration and celebrates personal and professional growth.

As the ideal candidate, you have an educational background within Engineering/Business economics or equivalent and/or 1-2 years of work experience within the field.

We also see that you:

• Are passionate about technology and strive to do what’s best for our retailers.
• Are curious to explore, eager to learn and energized by sharing. Your drive is to create clarity and alignment amongst internal and external stakeholders.
• Are a strong communicator and as such, you are able to build trustful relationships with stakeholders and business partners.
• Analyze and communicate complex issues in a clear and engaging way.
• Have an understanding of both product-oriented development and project delivery.
