Why we will love you
Hej there! Are you someone who's excited about the shopping centre (or as we like to call them, ‘meeting places’) industry and wants to be a part of changing it for the better? At Ingka Centres, we're on that journey, and we're looking for someone like you to join us!
We are going to the heart of Paris, by joining us you will be part of a unique and memorable Meeting Place experience. If you are motivated by finding the problem, diagnose and fix it while focusing on detail, driving for results and live with IKEA culture & values - this could be an opportunity for you!
You are experienced in helping businesses or organizations plan, organize, and manage their costs and expenditures effectively. You have high sensitivity to cost control, which means you can help keep our expenses in check and know how important it is to stay within budget and always look for ways to save without sacrificing quality or efficiency.
Another thing you are great at is construction procurement. You have extensive knowledge of procurement procedures regarding construction activities within a project, including the local construction market. This means you can help us find the best contractors and suppliers for the project, while making sure we’re getting the best value.
Furthermore, you are experienced in the areas of claim for compensation, restitution, and repayment for any loss or damage, and have expertise navigating the legal processes to ensure that, when needed, we get the best possible outcome.
Lastly, you are skilled in planning and measuring financial records in compliance with internal and external regulations. You make sure everything is in order and that we are getting the best value possible. You are dedicated to helping achieve business objectives and long-term profitable growth, and always look for ways to improve the financial performance.
