Who you are

• You love challenges…you seek them to solve them (not to create them, though!)

• You have at least 6 months of customer service work experience in retail or a distribution center (Returns or Cashier experience is a plus, but not necessary)

• You have an amazing attention for detail and can effortlessly juggle multiple priorities while keeping a smile on your face

• Your customer service skills are top notch – you meet all customers with compassion and understanding, can handle long queues, and can assess a problem and deliver a solution quickly.

• Your coordination skills are top notch – you can brush your teeth, iron your clothes, feed the dog, make a cup of coffee, and just get things done in a beautiful, quick, effortless sequence (or something like that!)

• You are quite comfortable with computers and are generally technology-savvy

• You are totally cool with working in a physically demanding, fast-paced, environment (where you may have to lift heavy items that weigh up to 50 lbs. at any given time)

Your responsibilities

• Be an IKEA Ambassador by recognizing that the customer experience depends on your seamless ability to provide memorable customer service and problem solve in a fair and timely manner

• Actively listen and identify customer needs, process transactions according to IKEA returns and exchange policies, and handle cash according to IKEA policy

• Maintaining an ongoing awareness of daily and weekly service/delivery targets

• Staying current with your IKEA product knowledge, our in-store and online specials, any updates on returns and exchange policies, and having a good awareness of all Customer Relations action plans

• Stay knowledgeable on IKEA products, in-store and online specials, as well as all applicable internal policies and standards

• Assist team members with additional duties, as required
