Job Description
As a Data Management Specialist, you bring hands-on data management expertise to Inter IKEA. Working closely with product and process teams in your assigned domains, you help implement our data management framework and improve the quality and usability of our data across the value chain. You act as a trusted partner to subject matter experts and digital product teams — combining technical know-how with strong stakeholder management to get data management embedded in day-to-day ways of working.
You will:
- Collaborate with subject matter experts and digital product teams to establish and maintain data standards, policies, controls, and accountability across assigned domains.
- Support the definition, implementation, and continuous improvement of data governance practices, including metadata management, business glossaries, data lineage, and data catalog capabilities.
- Facilitate data sharing and data exchange between internal domains and external partners, ensuring compliance with agreed standards, regulatory requirements, security policies, and business needs.
- Promote data literacy, awareness, and adoption of data management principles through coaching, knowledge sharing, and stakeholder engagement.
- Support the resolution of data quality issues by selecting appropriate error detection and correction, process control, and process design strategies, working closely with product teams, subject matter experts (SMEs), and data stewards.
- Ensure consistency by applying relevant development techniques, digital frameworks, and best practices.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic, hands-on data professional who’s energized by working close to the data and close to the people who use it. You’re passionate about building a solid data foundation and enjoy translating data management principles into practical, everyday improvements. You’re comfortable working in a fast-changing environment, and you bring the stakeholder skills to bring others along with you — influencing without formal authority, coaching colleagues, and building trust across business and digital teams.
Qualifications
- Solid, hands-on knowledge and experience within the Master Data field, including modern data quality practices, strategies, and technical tools.
- Practical experience working with data catalogs, data products, metadata repositories, lineage solutions, and data governance platforms.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, coach, and drive adoption across business and digital organisations.
- Understanding of information governance and data management methodologies.
- Ability to assess how technology changes impact data.
Beneficial:
- Experience working in product-oriented organisations and agile delivery models.
- Data modelling expertise, and a good understanding of underlying business processes and systems.
- Relevant degree or equivalent experience in a data-related field (e.g. computer science, information management, statistics) — not a strict requirement if you bring the practical experience above.
