Stillingstittel:
Product Manager - Experimentation & Technology Trends

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

At the heart of Schibsted lies a strong culture of exploration and innovation. Our products and services span across news media, online marketplaces, banks, food delivery services, education technology etc. and impact over 200 million people from all over the world interacting with our products every day.

Innovation happens everywhere. Sometimes there are big bets and sometimes there are incremental improvements and important new features. Sometimes though, we need to look beyond our current portfolio. We need to look ahead, and view things from the perspective of emerging technologies and what they enable.

This is where the Experimentation and Technology Trends team comes in. We are a small team working across Schibsted's brands to monitor and act on disruptive technology waves that may impact our business or our users' expectations.

We work under the motto "From hype to prototype" and our three main objectives are:

1. Drive broad understanding of emerging technologies across Schibsted
2. Facilitate experimentation, learning and prototyping together with our companies
3. Contribute to strategic discussions by ensuring that tech opportunities and threats impacting Schibsted within the next 3 years are considered.

Our ambition is to analyse and understand upcoming technology shifts and turn ideas and concepts into tangible prototypes in an effort to assess potential from a business or user experience perspective. We always ask ourselves "what does this mean for Schibsted?" and "what does it mean for our users?". We consider the following as important guidelines to our work:

• User centric design: a core philosophy in our team. Things need to make sense and add value for the end users - no gimmicks. We try to validate prototypes and mockups with real-life observations, user-tests, interviews and reality checks as quickly and frequently as possible!
• Rapid experimentation: 80/20 is often good enough, and whatever tool gets the job done the fastest is the right one! We admit that we love slides but nothing is more valuable than building and showing mock-ups, illustrations or prototypes. It makes things tangible and forces us to really think about the user experience.
• Knowledge sharing: there are endless amounts of smart people around us. People who can inspire and drive our thinking forward, and also people who are genuinely interested in learning about what we do, our methodologies and the outcome of our research. Sharing knowledge within the team, within Schibsted and externally is key to our success!

In the past year we have:

• Experimented with & built prototypes for ; blockchain, voice assistants, augmented reality, image recognition, architectural renderings
• Facilitated ; 20+ hackathons and ideation workshops
• Held ; 100+ internal and external presentations to 3600+ people
• Contributed; in several strategy processes and management meetings

If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, are passionate about users and want to work in an ever-changing environment, and then we'd love for you to join us!
