Demand Planner - Business Area Food

At IKEA, we do things a little different. We think, differently. Act, differently. And
work differently as well. We like to break things. Like rules. And then make
things. Like music-playing lamps. And beds disguised as sofas. Even plant balls
that help us look after our planet. It’s all part of our vision - to create a better
everyday life for the many. By 2030, we hope to help millions more look forward
to going home.

A few perks of being one of us:
• We believe in you! You get the privilege and the responsibility to lead a global assignment and contribute to the expanding IKEA Food business
• We trust you! You have the confidence and freedom to lead your assignment
and organize your time. Your well-being is our priority. A variety of
rewarding work awaits you, which you will be able to combine
alongside your hobbies or family.
• We grow with you! Use opportunities for learning and growth!
