About the role

What you’ll do

• IKEA Compliance & Systems
• Operate confidently within IKEA supplier / quality portals (e.G., documentation uploads, CAR / NC closure tracking, action plans, test reports, packaging data).
• Embed IKEA requirements (e.G., IWAY / Code of Conduct, product / material / test / packaging standards such as IOS-MAT / IOS-PRG / IOS-TM / packaging specs) into SOPs and work instructions.
• Prepare, host, and close actions from IKEA audits, technical visits, and social / compliance audits with clear CAPAs and evidence trails.
• End-to-End Quality Control
• Build and enforce checkpoints across dyeing, handloom / tuft, washing, shearing, latexing, finishing, and packing;
