IKEA Supply is responsible for securing that the product offer is produced and delivered to our customers. We lead the supply agenda across many functions and work together with all business areas, different business units, but also retail markets to secure customer availability in all markets and sales channels at lowest total cost.

At IKEA we have a vibrant culture where ideas are heard, where there is opportunity to learn new skills and where the goal always is "to create a better everyday life for the many people".

We offer this position in a fast paced, truly global environment with an endless supply of challenges and development opportunities.

Job Description

To realize our ambitions in the IKEA Supply Strategy, IKEA has recognized the need to improve and modernize our work methods. We are upgrading our current Procurement Platforms to enable Procurement processes for all of IKEA. This new position is a great opportunity to take a leading role in the Ivalua Procurement platforms, which support our direct and indirect procurement operations.

We are looking for a Platform Manager with an accountability for the Ivalua Direct and Indirect Procurement Platforms. You will lead the technology development and operations for the IKEA platform and its surrounding applications that support the IKEA business within the Supply Procurement Business Unit.

You will build, lead and develop the Platform team, which is part of the Supply Data & Technology department. You will also lead the evolution of the technology landscape that supports our IKEA Supply transformation ambitions, identifying and establishing the relevant technologies and operating the necessary platforms.

More specifically, in this role you will be:

  • Accountable for the IKEA Ivalua Procurement Platforms' technical development, integration, infrastructure, and operations, including overall solution designs and platform roadmap, leading towards uniformity and commonality across Inter IKEA.
  • Lead all aspects of delivery throughout their lifecycle, including performance, financials, continuous improvement, and adherence to Agile Ways of working supported by the new digital product and platform organizational set-up.
  • Create, manage, and maintain technology development and life cycle plans in alignment with the targeted technology landscape, ensuring high availability and reliability through effective test- and release management.
  • Steer and manage strategic relations with suppliers and partner closely with service providers, IT functions, and various stakeholders to prioritize assignments (OKRs), monitor performance, support, and resource utilization.
  • Ensure the Ivalua platforms comply with data security, privacy regulations, industry standards, and regulatory requirements, generating regular performance reports using metrics and KPIs for senior management and stakeholders.
  • Develop and manage the budget for the Ivalua platforms, ensuring efficient allocation of resources and driving the team's adoption of DevOps to shorten development life cycles and deliver high-quality outputs.
  • Lead by example, empowering co-workers to perform and grow according to agreed goals, supporting both current and future needs, and playing a lead role in co-creating, refining, and promoting IKEA's position, standards, and frameworks for technology services.

In this role you will report to our Platform Area Manager within Supply Data & Technology.

Qualifications

Are you our next Platform Manager? We will 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. A journey that needs passionate people who embrace change, dare to question, and want to make a difference.

As a person we see that you are valued for your collaborative spirit and your strong leadership, which focuses equally on processes, platforms, and people.

To be successful in this job you have:

  • Solid and broad management and leadership experience, with a strong ability to inspire people towards clearly set objectives and to lead and mentor a distributed team, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain relationships with multiple stakeholders across different levels and knowledge areas, and to effectively convey technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders through excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Extensive knowledge and experience in working with integrated end-to-end landscapes, particularly with Ivalua technology, including data security, regulatory compliance relevant to cloud-based Oracle platforms, and disaster recovery planning and implementation.
  • Demonstrated experience in integrated planning, agile Ways of working, the Product and Platform model, and proficiency with project management tools and software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a proactive mindset for identifying and addressing issues before they impact the business, alongside strong financial acumen to manage budgets and ensure cost-effective use of resources.
  • Proven track record of driving innovation and continuous improvement within technology platforms and business processes, with a commitment to staying current with industry trends, new technologies, and best practices in Ivalua platforms and cloud computing.
