IKEA are looking for their first local hire ahead of their first New Zealand store opening.
In a statement this morning, the company said it's looking for a people and culture manager to lead IKEA's new Auckland store at Sylvia Park.
Johanna Cederlöf, market manager for the store, said requirements of the role include having a passion for people and an ability to lead teams.
"The People & Culture Manager will lead the IKEA Sylvia Park store through its people, while taking a tactical, hands-on approach in day-to-day operations and people strategies.
"They will lead and develop the People & Culture team, with their first major task being to recruit and assemble a team of approximately 400 co-workers for IKEA Sylvia Park, New Zealand."
As part of IKEA's advertising for the role, a giant flatpack has been erected in Auckland's Karanga Plaza. The oversized replica of the box has a QR code which leads to the applications page.
The role is due to begin in June and will be based in Auckland. The first IKEA store in New Zealand is set to open in late 2025.
