This is your unique chance to be a part of the team building IKEA’s first startup program, IKEA Bootcamp. You will get to meet and learn from amazing people and accelerate yourself alongside super talented teams. It will be a wild ride - but we promise you will enjoy every second of it!

The role:

Your role will be to support the IKEA Bootcamp team with all kinds of tasks within operations, marketing and events during the program.

Candidates should ideally have experience working with startups and/or knowledge about the startup ecosystem. Experience within marketing, events and/or administrative work will also be a plus. However, we believe in learning by doing and we measure people by how far they walk the talk. There will be many opportunities, but it’s your job to seize them.
