Our team within IKEA
We are a small team consisting of 8 people. We drive the development, provision and operation of our products and services using new and existing technology and agile delivery methods to deliver value at pace. We build tools for our coworkers in the SEO and SEM teams across the globe so that they can optimise metadata content and improve traffic conversion into IKEA.com.Anyone on our team can come up with ideas on things to work on. Such ideas often lead to a few people teaming up to create a first prototype and releasing it as proof of concept to learn if the idea is good or not. After analysing the test results further decisions are made. It's a team based on having a growth mindset, with no fear of failure.
We are quite autonomous, self-organising and self-sufficient in many ways, which means part of our daily work is to define how we get things done together. We are based in southern Sweden on three locations, and we have a hybrid work policy.
