Young Talents
Curious about working life at Ingka Digital?
Great, we are curious about you! We believe that you can bring us many new insights, ideas and perspectives from your education and your life in general. Show us who you are, be curious and question everything. And YES, we make room for failure and experimentation. Our founder, Ingvar Kamprad, used to say “The fear of making mistakes is the root of bureaucracy and the enemy of development. We need to combat our fear of making mistakes. We must allow people to get things wrong now and again.“
Take the chance to grow, both professionally and personally
Through our student opportunities and our accelerator programme, you will join a global team developing digital products for the many customers and co-workers and get hands-on experience working in the digital sector. The projects you will work on will impact the whole IKEA world and help us to continue to be pioneers in life at home. With the use of technology, we want to be a force for good and create a better everyday life for both people and planet. We are not just building websites and apps; we are creating tools and platforms that help people build better lives for themselves and their communities.
A better IKEA for generations to come. We hope you want to be a part of it!
