Data Product Owner - User Data Domain

Schibsted Media is at a pivotal point in our strategy. After splitting the company up into two parts, Marketplaces (now Vend), and Media, we’re embarking with a new way of working in developing top of the line Media products that more than 6M people love every day.

At the heart of building products that people love is data - and we’re also changing how we work with data. We’re taking our next steps in building a modern data foundation that supports smarter personalization, user engagement, and monetization across our media brands, and are looking for a Data Product Owner to join our User Data team in Stockholm - someone who can help us define and deliver data products that bring deeper insight into how users behave, interact, and grow with us.

What will you do in this role?

As a Data Product Owner, you’ll help ensure that we build data products that are trustworthy, usable, and support measurable value across editorial, advertising, and product strategies.

You will:

• Lead the development of user-centric data products aligned with key goals like personalization, engagement, and retention.
• Translate strategic needs into clear, actionable tasks with well-defined acceptance criteria.
• Work closely with data engineers, analysts, product managers, and editorial teams across brands.
• Shape current and future data products in areas like user engagement, segmentation, consent, experimentation, monetisation, and login.
• Ensure user data models are consistent across brands and enable use cases like front-page curation or paywall optimization
• Champion privacy-aware, high-quality data pipelines with good documentation and discoverability
• Drive demos, feedback sessions, and adoption across teams
• Collaborate with other Data Product Owners to ensure shared standards across the Schibsted data mesh

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.

Application process:

Please apply for this position by sharing your CV with us and a letter of motivation. English is our corporate language, but you are welcome to write it in Swedish or Norwegian. Selection of candidates takes place on an ongoing basis during the process.

Who you are:

We think you are an experienced data or product management professional. You ideally have a background as a product owner/manager, analyst, data engineer, or similar - and you’re looking into taking your next steps in combining data with product management.

You think about data models and solutions as structured products that exist to delight your customers, and you understand that it is most valuable when it’s trusted, consistent, and actionable.

You’re an empathetic collaborator. You navigate comfortably across team- and business needs, prioritize solutions based on impact, and care deeply about turning data into actual value - whether that’s a smarter login flow, a better front page metric, or a well-targeted experiment.

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 in product management, data analytics, or a similar role
• Experience developing or owning data products such as segmentation, kpi dashboards, or experimentation pipelines
• Solid knowledge of customer lifecycle concepts and behavioral analytics.
• Proven ability working agile, to manage backlogs, and to translate complex needs into clear user stories together in a cross functional team
• Comfortable working across multiple brands and stakeholder groups (e.g., editorial, subscription, ads)
• Understanding of privacy-first data practices and event-driven data architecture

Experience in consumer-facing media, personalization platforms, and A/B testing frameworks is not required but a plus.
