Hej Demand Planner,
Do you want to go to work and help create a better life at home?
With us, you can feel at home at work while sharing that feeling with millions of people around the world. We encourage you to stand up for yourself and others, creating an environment where everyone feels welcome. We invite you to open new doors, embrace mistakes, and grow from them. As our Demand Planner, you’ll have many opportunities to try things you’ve never done before.
Your new role as Demand Planner
As a Demand Planner in Range Area Children’s IKEA. You’ll turn insights into action - using sales plans and data to create accurate forecasts that help our supply chain run smoothly. You’ll be the superhero behind the scenes - predicting what our little customers (and their grown-ups) will want, when they want it, and where it should be. You’ll be part of a diverse and inclusive team that’s passionate about creating a better everyday life through play. Your mission? To make sure our playful products are available across the globe, just when they’re needed.
What you’ll do
Act as the bridge between Sales and Supply, turning sales history into accurate forecasts to ensure product availability worldwide
Collaborate with the Retail organization to translate global and national sales plans into product-level forecasts - predicting when, where, and in what quantities products will be sold
Contribute to building a supply chain that’s smarter, leaner, and more cost-effective, always with availability and affordability in mind
Qualifications
What we’d love you to bring
We are looking for someone who enjoys working in a fast-changing and complex world. You have a talent for turning complexity into clarity, making insights easy to understand and act upon.

Experience from working with different product groups as a Demand Planner is a strong advantage.
We believe you:
Bring solid supply chain experience, ideally in global retail
Inspire and motivate others by taking initiative
Can see the whole flow - from supplier to customer - while still caring for the details
Stay flexible and open-minded - forecasts change, and so do we! You’re ready to adapt and explore new paths
With us, you can feel at home at work. We encourage you to be yourself, speak up, and support others. We believe in learning from mistakes, opening new doors, and growing together. As our Demand Planner, you’ll have many opportunities to try new things and make a real impact.
