Job description
As a Master Data Specialist, you will support the organisation in leveraging information and data.

You are regularly involved in activities and meetings with stakeholders to determine large and small opportunities where MDM could help the organisation to better reach its goals and work in a more efficient way.
Leading a complex organisation to realise the benefits that modern MDM can bring is at the heart of the role.
You will:

• Support the development and roll-out of MDM capabilities across a complex organisation.
  

• Work and communicate closely with colleagues, enabling them to work smarter and more efficient with the help of MDM.
  

• Support the creation and maintenance of an MDM network across IKEA.

You are inspired and energised by the possibilities and opportunities that digital and information technology brings to enable, transform, and break new grounds, always with the user’s best interest in mind. You also share our values striving always for simplicity and togetherness. If that sounds like you, come and join us in digitising the IKEA Franchise offer and the IKEA Concept. Together we can do great things.
To be successful in this role, we believe you are a strong Master Data Specialist who can naturally and effectively communicate, collaborate, network and build relationships across a complex organisation. You should also be able to make the benefits of effective MDM understood and embraced by both technical and non-technical co-workers. Beyond that if you are comfortable balancing several stakeholders and agendas simultaneously, then this is the role for you.
