Company Description

You see things a little differently. So do we At IKEA, we believe that what you value is more important than what your CV says. We offer positions that will challenge your skills and let you grow. Come see things a little differently with us.

IKEA is on a constant journey to create a better everyday life for the many people by continuously re-invent us as we continue to grow and develop to meet and exceed our customers' needs. 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. If that sounds like you, come and join us.

We are transforming how we work across IKEA, building a foundation to execute the IKEA strategic goals in a more efficient and effective way. This includes a new way of developing IKEA where we execute long-term strategic objectives, while responding to changes in the world around us with agility and speed. The starting point is End-to-end process orientation and a new approach to developing, running and innovating capabilities through empowered teams, supported by agile ways of working.

As a business development leader you will secure refinement, breakdown and hand over of work to relevant capability areas where development is driven. meaning there is no permanent "taking over of responsibilities" from existing lines.

The two assignments will have different focus areas, which one speaks the most to you?

- One Business Development Leader who will align plans across areas and processes and serve as the single point of contact for Food, IKEA and for Business stakeholders as well as for the Innovation, supporting the DIN networks related to Supply.
-
- The second Business Development leader will focus on the planning leader assignment in the forming Traceability core team where you together with Business Process Owners, Capability Planning Leaders and the Process and Capability Area Architects create and deliver a plan to accelerate traceability and compliance.

More over, for both assignments key responsibilities will be:

- Secure alignment and collaboration cross capability areas. 
- Stakeholder management/Change management and communication – maintain stakeholder map
- Business Engagement – one point of entry for stakeholders
- Lead from strategy to work break-down for defined scope and secure priority setting
- Responsible for keeping the breakdown of work in relation to the initiative scope in consistency with the overall IKEA integrated plan enabling transparency across the Capability areas progress and scope 
- When applicable, facilitate Tertial Planning on Epic level, monthly follow-up/sync on Epic level for defined scope
- Participate in Capability Area Forum and Cross-capability area planning forum to secure priorities
- Collaborate with Enterprise Architect and coordinate EA assessments

Qualifications

Are you driven by a passion for IKEA Supply Chain and have in-depth understanding of the IKEA value chain and systems? If so, we want to hear from you

To succeed in this role, we believe you have:

- Strong knowledge of methods and mindsets for making progress and leading change in complexity (high uncertainty, unpredictability and high interdependencies)
- Understanding of portfolio and project management principles and ways of working, traditional and agile
- General insights to new technologies, to be able to understand digital as an enabler for developing new business capabilities
- Experience from indirect leadership– enabling high performing teams
- Strategic thinking and analytical skills, with the ability to translate vision into actionable plans.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and inspire others at all levels of the organization.
