What you'll be doing day to day

Can you see yourself in a role where you are leading the procurement agenda for IKEA within the logistics equipment area for North America?

IKEA is on a journey to truly become a multi-channel retailer and in the coming years many of the customer fulfillment units will be built or rebuilt to accommodate to this new multi-channel environment.

As a purchaser you have primarily the responsibility for the business within US and Canada for a select number of product areas and suppliers, with the possibility to scale up solutions created by the supplier base you manage to become global. In this position you have the opportunity to influence and make a difference for an important part of IKEA, as we are designing the fulfillment units of tomorrow. You will be responsible for developing the business, taking away cost from the value chain, whilst securing products and services with high quality, sustainability and compliance standards.

You are hungry for business development and have a proven track record in creating and materializing business opportunities. You understand the logistics and feel comfortable with contract management.
