Product Designer to Nordic Marketplaces
Nordic Marketplaces
We want to multiply our positive impact on society and the planet by 2035. No biggie. Whilst doing that Nordic Marketplaces are also transforming into a next generation marketplace by taking on a larger role and responsibility in key user journeys. And great design is a big part of this. Our marketplaces, FINN in Norway, Blocket in Sweden, DBA and Bilbasen in Denmark, and Tori and Oikotie in Finland, are market leaders and connect millions of buyers and sellers monthly.

You day-to-day work
As a Product Designer in the Mobility area - one of four areas in Nordic Marketplaces - you’ll work within a cross functional product team and belong to a design team of 14. You’ll also be entering a passionate and wide Schibsted Design community across the Nordics (counting 90 designers in total) - all driven by the will to create products that users love, and to keep on sharing knowledge and to grow.
We’ll soon be transitioning to a new multi-brand Schibsted platform, and that will be a big part of your focus. You cover the user-centric design process from end to end and we dare to say that there’s no day alike. You’re responsible for the user experience, and let qualitative insights and behavioural data drive your designs. You identify and prioritise design problems, explore new concepts and validate them with mock-ups & prototypes with the help of our end users. Constant improvement is always in your mind, thus you keep on measuring and analysing the usage of the newest launches and sharing your findings with Product Managers, visual designers and developers.
