Company Description
At IKEA, our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. We strive to be the leader in sustainable, affordable life at home, inspiring and enabling customers to fulfil their needs and dreams at home.
In Purchasing Development, our assignment goes hand and hand with the IKEA Business Idea as we are responsible to produce a 'wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them'. Together with our suppliers, we produce the IKEA products and food with affordability, accessibility, sustainability, and quality as our main priorities.
We want to drive a revolution with the development of innovative, affordable, and sustainable materials and make that our number one business priority. We will work together across IKEA for more efficient production set-ups and usage of both less material and material with a smaller climate footprint, enabling a positive movement with a renewable and recycled range offer. And that is where you come in!
Job Description
Your assignment is to:
Be responsible for leading and conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of selected materials, and supply chains and the corresponding emission factors and material impact for IKEA to understand the environmental footprint of materials.
Provide necessary subject-matter expertise and conduct necessary analysis to identify improvement options and propose a portfolio of actions to deliver to set strategic goals within material directions.
Facilitate competence development of stakeholders to enhance understanding of the environmental impacts of materials through targeted training and development initiatives.
Support maintenance and development of IKEA database of environmental emission factors for materials and food ingredients (LCA database).
Support projects to improve the quality and coverage of the IKEA LCA database, both internally and externally.
Contribute to the development of methodologies and requirements for measuring activity data and assessing the environmental impact of materials.
You will report to Material & Engineering Manager in Purchasing Development, Core Business Supply.

Documented knowledge of Lifecycle Assessments (LCAs), e.g., the family of LCA ISO standards 140XX, impact assessment methods, JRC standards and related EU technical documents, GHG Protocol, and other carbon accounting methods.
Excellent analytical skills in data and complex systems and ability to analyse and model emission factors of materials and food based on a company's specific supply chains.
Proven experience from the use of commercial LCA software like Open LCA, Gabi Sphera, Brightway or SimaPro, and have a good understanding of life cycle inventory databases (Ecoinvent is a requirement).
Ability to translate complex matters into simple and practical solutions and examples workable in a business context.
Capability to find ways forward when and where necessary system support or material data are not available.
Good skills in data management, programming (e.g., Python) and business analytics (e.g. Microsoft Power BI) is an advantage.
Qualifications
You want to create a positive impact on people and planet.
You have a strong educational background in areas of sustainability with focus on Life cycle assessment. You have a passion for conducting analyses.
You involve, inspire and clarify LCA and material impact for stakeholders with or without a sustainability background.
You are a curious team player who is driven to work with many different stakeholders.
