Conditions

ICA made it clear from day one - this isn’t a customer–supplier relationship. We operate as one team, one culture, side by side.

Focus & stability

Long-term partnership - Built for the long run. Your growth is tied to the collaboration’s success.
Single clients focus - No context-switching. Go deep, build expertise, see impact over time.

Access to ICA’s learning hub - Internal training platform with mandatory and optional courses.
Travel to Sweden - Onboarding trips and ongoing workshops. Face-to-face with your Swedish colleagues.

Work-life balance & time off

Five weeks off - 26 days of paid vacation. Swedish standard.
Culture of moderation - Working hours and lunch breaks are flexible within the same time frame.
Religious & personal flexibility - 5 additional days on top of vacation for religious and personal observances.

Health & well-being

Private health insurance - Comprehensive private coverage. Your health matters.
Gym allowance - Stay active. We\'ll help cover it.
Parental support - Comprehensive support for growing families.

Because this is a dedicated long-term partnership, it comes with its own structure and benefits package. The conditions listed here apply to this opportunity. They may differ from standard ZenDev conditions and benefits.
