Store Commercial Activity Leader

You care about making a positive impact in the world. You understand greatness requires thinking differently. An inclusive and accepting work environment is important to you.

A job at IKEA is so much more than home furnishings. Together, we work to make a better everyday life for the many. It's the perfect fit if you want to contribute, grow, and share. Join the team and start a better life for yourself.

To succeed in the role of Commercial Activity Leader, it is important that you have commercial understanding and can prioritize sales. As a person, you are passionate about driving business and developing the business through people. You are able to drive change processes and find solutions to operational challenges in an unpredictable and sometimes hectic daily life.

We further imagine that you:

1. Have at least 2-3 years of experience in a leadership role
2. It is an advantage, but not a requirement, to have good knowledge and experience working with IKEA's concept.
3. Have strong skills and experience in collaborating and leading indirectly across departments and with a diverse range of people.
4. Good Danish and English skills

What you'll be doing day to day:

You will be responsible for the commercial calendar and thus for executing operational initiatives that create a cohesive commercial thread throughout the Aarhus store. You will be responsible for coordinating campaigns, activities, and other sales initiatives, as well as continuously assessing the business's sales potential in the market. Your primary tasks will include coordinating activities with the commercial team and creating an overview and structure for yourself and the rest of the store in relation to the commercial agenda. This includes driving projects in your work area from idea to execution and finally to follow-up.

Together as a team:

You will be part of our sales function, which in total counts approximately 160 employees. In sales, we always work to increase our revenue and ensure that customers always get exactly the things they need. We work together and believe that if we lift together, we go further. In the past, most of our customers came to the store, but many things have changed, and now more than ever, we must ensure fantastic customer experiences regardless of how our customers wish to shop with us. Would you like to be part of this journey?
