Internal Audit Leader / Internal Audit Leaderess

Company Description

Inter IKEA Group consists of three core businesses: Retail Concept, Range, and Supply.

IKEA Supply, with its 22,000 co-workers, is responsible for ensuring that our product offerings are produced and delivered to customers effectively. We lead the supply agenda across multiple functions, collaborating with various business areas, different business units, and retail markets to ensure customer availability in all markets and sales channels at the lowest total cost.

We believe in everyday personal growth and offer opportunities for global career development. At IKEA, we foster a vibrant culture where ideas are valued, skills are learned, and the ultimate goal is to "create a better everyday life for the many people." We empower straightforward individuals to grow, both personally and professionally, in a fast-paced, global environment teeming with challenges and development opportunities.
