Are you an inspiring Data and Information Architect or Data Scientist looking for a global role without limits?

In this new assignment as our Architecture Leader for Data & Information, you'll lead the charge on a wonderful adventure, showcasing and inspiring the best-in-class architectural data strategies and ways of working.

Don’t worry, we believe in building it step by step, ensuring each piece fits perfectly into the bigger picture.
You'll lead architecture Think-Tanks-becoming a “sparring partner” for architects seeking a second opinion on tricky topics or decisions when it comes to your area of expertise.
But that’s not all – you’ll be collaborating closely with peers across Inter IKEA and the wider IKEA community, strengthening our franchise offer. We need someone who can bring people together, answer the big questions, and create something special. Ready to join us?
