• Lead the development of robust, scalable data products that serve key editorial and business goals such as engagement and yield optimization
• Own and maintain the data product backlog, ensuring documentation, prioritization and acceptance criteria are in line with data mesh principles
• Act as the key bridge between data engineers, analysts, and stakeholders such as editors, product managers and performance teams
• Define and maintain data products across the full content lifecycle - from creation and classification to publishing and performance tracking
• Standardize metadata and production tracking across formats (text, video, audio) and brands
• Champion best practices in data governance, compliance, and usability
• Run demos, gather feedback, and drive internal adoption of content data products
• Collaborate with other data product owners to ensure interoperability across user, content, and performance data domains
• Own and evolve the editorial performance platform Kilkaya

What we’re looking for:

You have experience as a product owner, analyst, or data-savvy project manager, and you know what it takes to develop great data products in complex organizations.

• 3+ years of experience in product management, data analytics, or a similar role
• Preferred: Experience with content-related data and editorial workflows
• Proven track record of driving the development of data products from concept to adoption
• Solid understanding of data concepts like data mesh, data lakes, warehouses, and ETL/ELT
• Experience writing and maintaining clear product backlogs and requirements
• Strong stakeholder management across technical and editorial teams

Who you are:

You’re a structured and collaborative problem-solver who knows how to turn editorial and strategic needs into actionable data products. You balance long-term vision with short-term delivery, and you care deeply about usability, consistency, and impact. Whether you’re reviewing metadata definitions or running a demo for editors, you keep user value and business goals at the center.

Why we enjoy working here:

At Schibsted, we value openness, curiosity, and collaboration. You’ll be part of a diverse, inclusive workplace that encourages bold thinking and continuous learning. Our work directly supports public interest journalism—and we take that responsibility seriously.

Whether you’re enabling better content decisions, driving user personalization, or shaping experimentation at scale, your contributions will help shape the future of digital media in the Nordics.

You will be joining a collaborative, impact-driven team that works across disciplines like technology, product, and editorial. We believe in structured yet flexible ways of working, balancing clear ownership with strong teamwork. Curiosity, openness, and a drive to create value through data are at the heart of how we operate. We support each other, celebrate continuous learning, and are passionate about turning complex challenges into meaningful solutions for our users and brands.
