About the role
We are now looking for a Replenishment Planner who wants to be part of the IKEA Food goods flow, where planning accuracy and clear retail connection support availability, freshness, food safety and a stronger customer experience. In this role, daily planning and execution come together so food products can move reliably and efficiently from distribution centres to stores and into the IKEA Food experience.
The role works closely with markets, retail partners, distribution centres, logistics service providers and internal planning teams. You will use signals from orders, stock, sales, forecasts and distribution to take clear replenishment actions, supporting the Food transformation ambition to simplify execution, reduce handovers and focus planning where it creates business value.
In this role, you will:
Own DC-to-store replenishment availability for assigned markets, retail partners and product flows.
Work with retail orders, replenishment parameters, exceptions and outbound flow execution within agreed ways of working.
Analyse orders, stock, sales, forecasts and distribution signals to see risks early and act in time.
Balance availability, food safety, freshness, cost, sustainability and service level when planning and following up the outbound flow.
Coordinate replenishment needs linked to range changes, sales activities, phase-in, phase-out, market-specific products and limited shelf life.
Identify shortage, overstock, short shelf-life and service risks, and recommend practical actions or escalation.
Improve ways of working together with markets, retail partners, DC/LSP operations and internal stakeholders.
We are looking for someone who:
Has experience from replenishment planning, order management, outbound logistics, retail supply operations or food goods flow.
Works confidently in ERP e.g. Infor tools, order-management, replenishment and planning systems.
Uses operational KPIs, order data, stock data and deviation follow-up to make clear decisions, including using excel and Power Bi.
Understands availability, freshness, quality, shelf-life and service risks, and knows when to act or escalate.
Communicates well across markets, retail partners, logistics service providers and internal teams.
Takes pride in accuracy, structure and keeping the retail goods flow reliable every day.
Reliable availability depends on many small replenishment and outbound flow decisions done right, every day.
As Replenishment Planner, you help secure the right products in the right place at the right time, with good freshness, service and cost-conscious flow. You turn retail and distribution signals into action so stores and partners can rely on stable availability, and IKEA Food can be enjoyed with trust, quality and care across markets.
As part of your application, we ask you to rank the Food roles you apply for in order of preference. This helps us better understand your aspirations and supports a fair and efficient matching process across opportunities.
We look forward to receiving your application by the 17th of November, 2026.
