We are reshaping how we work with Indirect Procurement.
Indirect Procurement is making significant changes. Our new Indirect Procurement organisation will enable us to work smarter, simplify how we operate and create more value. With clearer roles, stronger collaboration and a foundation for AI and automation, we are building a future-ready organisation together.
The best supplier relationships are about much more than contracts and performance reviews. As Supplier Relations Leader for Cloud, Infrastructure, Data & AI Platforms, you will own strategic relationships with some of IKEA’s most important global technology suppliers.
Your portfolio may include suppliers such as Microsoft, AWS, Oracle and Databricks. You will work at the intersection of commercial strategy, cloud transformation, technology platforms, data and AI. Together with internal stakeholders and suppliers, you will translate IKEA’s technology priorities into stronger partnerships, improved commercial outcomes and long-term value creation.
Cloud, infrastructure, data and AI platforms are increasingly important to IKEA’s digital capabilities, operational resilience and future development.
The suppliers within this ecosystem operate complex commercial and consumption models and have significant influence on IKEA’s technology direction and cost base. Managing these partnerships requires more than traditional supplier management. It requires strong commercial leadership, sufficient technology-market understanding and the ability to engage credibly with senior technology, architecture, engineering and platform stakeholders.
You will help IKEA optimise strategic technology partnerships, strengthen negotiation capability and reduce dependency on external expertise. You will contribute to building and retaining deeper cloud, infrastructure and platform knowledge within IKEA.
You will:
You understand the strategic importance of cloud, infrastructure, data and AI ecosystems and how these platforms shape both technology capability and commercial outcomes.
You can translate technical and commercial complexity into clear supplier strategies and decisions. You do not need to be an engineer, but you have sufficient technology understanding to challenge global platform providers and operate credibly with senior technology stakeholders.
We believe you bring:
Experience working directly with suppliers such as Microsoft, AWS, Oracle, Databricks or comparable global technology-platform providers would be an advantage.
The position can be located in Malmö (SE) or Delft (NL) or Warsaw (PL).
We recruit based on values, competence, potential and diversity. We will first consider co-workers employed at Inter IKEA Group who are impacted by organisational changes, provided the competence requirements for the role are met.
We look forward to receiving your application in English latest by 17th November 2026.
Please not for this position we do not offer relocation support.
