    • Responsible for speaking partner for some of the Co-worker Relations Managers in countries, which includes challenging, supporting and sharing best practices and knowledge, both for the area of responsibility and in general for co-worker relations.

    • Collaborate, proactively support and build competence with different stakeholders across the organisation as well as participate in forums, networks and projects to represent and secure the Co-worker Relations areas.

    • Secure access to updated knowledge about market trends, latest developments and best practices in the Co-Worker Relations area and, based on analyses, use the knowledge to stay industry-competitive and initiate changes when appropriate.

    Together as a team

    IKEA believes that people are at the heart of our business. We create a better everyday life together by living our shared values and safeguarding our unique culture. To be able to create an inspiring IKEA experience, we need to make sure our co-workers have the preconditions to meet our customers in the best possible way. The purpose of the People and Culture (HR) function is to secure the competence and organisation to reach our business ambitions, and this is where you come in.

    Questions and support? Let's connect!

    We will make sure to allocate a lot of time for questions about the role during the interview part of the process. If you have any questions about the position, please contact recruiter Juliana Picon at [email protected] .

    As you might know, in Sweden it’s common to take a few weeks of holiday during July; most people take multiple weeks in a row; at IKEA we are no different. We believe in a healthy work-life balance and encourage our co-workers to take time to relax, recharge, and unwind. Because of this great benefit, the recruitment process might take a bit longer.

    Please note that due to GDPR reasons, we do not accept applications by email, and we want you to send us your application (CV and cover letter) in English. We look forward to receiving your application and will review candidates continuously, so please submit your application as soon as possible, but no later than July 31st 2025.

    Studies show that members of underrepresented communities do not apply for jobs unless they are 100% “qualified”. If this is part of the reason you hesitate to apply, we would like to consider it and give it a chance. Maybe your profile fits our needs much better than you think. We look forward to receiving your application. [From: “Why Women Don’t Apply for Jobs Unless They’re 100% Qualified” by Tara Sophia Mohr, August 2014]
