This you will do in many ways; by supporting business stakeholders in understanding the potential of and what is needed to unlock the power of data science, by being engaged in the community of data scientists across the organisation, creating and disseminating best practices, frameworks, and accelerators across the organisation.

We work in a modern cloud-based Azure environment, and you will be a part of the community continuously developing our data science and machine learning capabilities. You take your colleagues by the hand, and you constructively advise what is needed to enable efficient use of data to reach the organisation's goals. You are regularly involved in activities and meetings with stakeholders to determine large and small data opportunities and support teams regarding data and analytics.
More specifically, in this role you will be accountable to:
  • Create new insights and digital products within Supply by having data models and algorithms in place to enable prediction, optimization, and simulation.
  • Aggregate and structure raw data into models, applying learning algorithms, interpret the results and deploy digital products.
  • Perform all stages of advanced analytics, from exploring and blending data, to structure predictive data models and to draw insights and deployment.
  • Drive continuous improvement, collaboration, and knowledge sharing of methodologies, tools, and materials across the Inter IKEA Data Science community and Inter IKEA at-large.
  • Help ensure consistency by supporting the use of relevant development techniques, digital frameworks, and best practices.
  • Collaborate and communicate with other parts of the organisation to understand needs of stakeholders and devise possible solutions.
In this role, you will report to our Data & Analytics manager at IKEA Supply and work closely with the Data Science network of expertise. Leading towards increased uniformity and commonality, contributing to the Inter IKEA Digital framework and delivering on the needs of IKEA Supply.
Are you looking for the challenge of your life? Come on board!


Qualification

We are on the journey to transform our digital capabilities, bringing core business processes, people, data & technology together — an enabler for IKEA to become an even better home furnishing company in the future.

We expect you to have a very good knowledge of digital working methods, in particular project and program management, with the relevant experience and track record. You have knowledge in modern development and deployment techniques such as Agile, Dev Ops and MLOps and a comprehensive understanding of statistical and machine learning techniques, as well as data management and visualisation techniques. You have proficiency with an appropriate set of languages, technologies, and frameworks (e.g., Databricks, mlflow, Py Torch, Tensor Flow, Keras and Azure ML) and cloud environments (e.g., Azure, AWS, Google). Most likely you have a graduate degree or similar higher qualifications in statistics, physics, mathematics, econometrics, computer science or related. Software engineering experience from large projects, as well as experience with fine-tuning, embeddings and APIs for LLMs is a further merit.
You enjoy building a purposeful business by creating engaging and trustful relationships with colleagues, stakeholders, and business partners. As a person, you are appreciated for collaborative spirit and how you lead with strong focus on both technology and people.
