Arbetsbeskrivning

In Purchasing Development, we enable purchasing of sustainable and affordable IKEA products by developing a strong global supplier network. We work close to suppliers, partners, Range and Supply Chain Operations to secure quality, availability, sustainability and the lowest possible cost for the many people.

Within Purchasing Development, Category Area Food is part of the Food total value chain transformation. We are shaping a simpler, more connected and more industry-relevant way of working for IKEA Food, with clearer accountability, faster decisions and stronger supplier performance. Food has its own conditions, with limited shelf life, food safety requirements, freshness needs and changing market expectations. This calls for practical, fact-based and close supplier collaboration.

We are now looking for a Logistics Operations Developer who wants to help strengthen supplier logistics performance and capability across an assigned geography. In this role, you will work close to suppliers and business teams to make sure supplier routines, data quality, logistics compliance and execution readiness support reliable, compliant and cost-conscious supply.

This is a role for someone who enjoys turning operational signals into clear improvement actions. You will help suppliers and office teams understand what needs to be improved, follow up progress and make sure repeated issues are solved in a structured way within agreed ways of working.

About the role

As Logistics Operations Developer, you will own and develop supplier logistics performance for assigned suppliers and geographies. You will follow up delivery performance, data quality, logistics compliance and launch or change readiness. You will also support supplier capability development through analysis, training, implementation follow-up and corrective actions.

You will work closely with Business Developers, Business Development Managers, Product Sourcing Leaders, Inventory Planners, suppliers and other internal stakeholders. Your input will help bring supplier-side logistics reality into business decisions, so we can improve availability, reduce recurring issues and support growth at lower cost.

In this role, you will:

• Own supplier logistics performance follow-up for assigned suppliers and geographies.
• Follow up delivery performance, data quality, logistics compliance and execution readiness.
• Translate Category Business Plan, supplier priorities and improvement needs into practical logistics actions.
• Drive supplier improvement plans and corrective actions that strengthen delivery performance, supplier routines and logistics set-ups.
• Provide supplier-side logistics feasibility, risk and readiness input for sourcing, launch, range change and deviation decisions.
• Train and support suppliers and office teams in agreed logistics requirements and routines.
• Identify process, data or digital improvement needs from supplier operations and secure the right escalation.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience from supplier operations, logistics, supply planning, supplier development or operational performance improvement.
• Understands supplier delivery performance, data quality, capacity and readiness, logistics set-up and compliance drivers.
• Can analyse performance data, spot recurring deviations and recommend clear corrective actions.
• Is comfortable guiding suppliers and office teams through requirements, routines and practical improvement work.
• Communicates clearly across cultures, roles and locations, with a simple and fact-based way of working.
• Enjoys solving problems structurally and helping others build capability for long-term performance.

At IKEA, low cost has a meaning. It helps us create better products at lower prices and make them available to more people. In this role, your everyday work with supplier logistics helps turn that idea into action.

You will be part of strengthening the Food value chain by making supplier operations more reliable, more compliant and easier to work with. Together, we keep the customer in the centre, act with business acumen and build a Food setup that can grow with speed, care and cost-consciousness.

We look forward to receiving your application by the 28th of September, 2026.

We always recruit based on values, competence, potential and diversity. Once competence

requirements are met, we will first consider impacted co-workers at Inter IKEA Group.
