Älmhult, Sweden Inter IKEA Group Full time
Job Description

Do you have good communication skills, embrace change, highly adaptable, self-driven leader, capability to learn new skills and a team player?

While Solution Architect is your core competence, you will be given the opportunity to grow into a “multi-skilled Developer” where you will be assigned tasks based on business needs. Therefore, your responsibilities may varies depending on the match between your different competences and business needs. This gives you the ability to grow and learn in different domains and skills.

As a Solution Architect you will mainly work with following:

  • Shape ideas – in close collaboration with relevant internal and external stakeholders – into concrete, robust and appropriate solution architectures (high level design) and transition roadmaps (for implementation) that achieve the business outcome for a fast-growing business (for running business and initiatives).
  • Secure that the solution architecture reflects customer and co-worker experience, time to market, sharing and collaboration, functional, technical, infrastructure, operational, security, financial, social and environmental considerations. Actively contribute to the resolution of conflicting requirements.
  • Secure that the transition roadmaps reflect the level of uncertainty of the future state. Balance the transformations of foundational building blocks with continues business value delivery.
  • Communicate the solution architectures and transition roadmaps to relevant internal and external stakeholders within and across organisation(s). Seek understanding and agreement to ensure aligned and consistent solution implementations across IKEA.
  • Ensure that the solution architecture and roadmaps comply with relevant policies, principles, rules and standards. Align with agreed IT landscape architectures, its vision and goals and transition roadmaps. Suggest changes when compliance hinders business value.
  • Ensure that the agreed solution architectures and transition roadmaps guide the scoping of business initiatives, the low-level design and govern the implementation of solutions.
  • Pro-actively identify and advise on opportunities to deliver better business result (e.g. related to technology trends and players, roadmaps, customer value, cost, benefits, impact, risks, dependencies).
  • Collaborate closely with IT suppliers, influence them with IKEA requirements and have a critical dialog about proposals to secure the best result for IKEA.
  • Participate in cross area design board to secure holistic architecture decisions, developing the architecture capability at IKEA and technology identification and selection.
  • Lead solution architecture activities within the assigned area e.g. the creation, revision and implementation of vision and goals, standards and reference solution architectures (reusable for the enterprise), handling of deviations and exceptions, ensuring architecture requirements for life cycle management of products and services, perform design reviews, provide guidance for service improvements and service transition.

  • Good understanding of digital technologies/trends, industry standards, application and infrastructure market, and digital practices with potential to benefit or impact IKEA.
  • Good understanding of IKEA enterprise architecture framework and modelling techniques.
  • Good knowledge about software and infrastructure development practices.
