IKEA has an ongoing expansion programme
in the UK that means we have a need for a number of senior
managers within our business. These people will be vital
to the future success of IKEA as it grows.
You will immediately take on responsibility
for a significant sector of our business – you’ll learn from
us, and probably learn a bit about yourself, whilst preparing
to advance to more strategic senior management roles as new
stores open nationwide.
You’ll be encouraged
to manage yourself & others
effectively and positively.
to embrace change & opportunity,
challenging established patterns of work, and offering
suggestions of your own
to release all your
skills, energy & passion
to share in the uniqueness
of IKEA & the
positive co-worker atmosphere
to enjoy the benefits
of being part of a hugely successfully global business,
including the prospect
of working in other
countries
to be assertive, to
recognise who you are & how
you operate, & using these abilities to drive the business
you won’t feel a foot
in your back, but you will be responsible & accountable
for reaching goals & making a positive difference
You’ll need
business experience gained in
dynamic, fast-moving retail or service based environments
expertise in the leadership & management
of large teams
a collaborative and influential style,
working closely with others to develop & deliver
future business plans
to encourage questioning at all
levels, inspiring & embracing
change
the ability to lead & develop
others to take on more commercial & strategic roles within the business
a huge enthusiasm for our company & with
the customers’ best interests always at heart
to
be able to quickly earn the respect of others, with
an open & straightforward
approach, rather than relying on status
a willingness
to move laterally within the business to gain exposure & experience
across store functions
to be prepared to travel & possibly
relocate within the UK to maximise career opportunities
