Product Manager - User Payment

Schibsted User Foundations is hiring a Product Manager to our User Payment team.

The User Payment team have over the years developed and operated a payment platform serving the Schibsted brands and their users with a unified, low-friction B2C payment solution. On top of that, the team makes sure that our integrations with payment partners stay up to date and compliant with regulatory obligations. In short, you could say that our goal is that our stakeholder brands across Schibsted should not have to spend time focusing on their payment set-up. Payment Gateway is used across our media and marketplace brands in Norway and Sweden.

To do this, you’ll need to be able to inspire your team with passion and energy for both our users, our brands and the payments domain. You’ll need to be able to train new product managers on how to work within modern empowered product teams. You’ll also need to be able to lead and influence at senior levels, communicating with the highest clarity about strategy, mission, objectives, priorities and the results your team will achieve. You’ll need to simplify the potentially complex challenges in the payments space for our users and for our brands. And you’ll need to be able to influence and persuade our brands, through both words and actions, to trust your team to tackle thorny problems together with them.

The role will report to the Lead Product Manager in User Foundations within the Schibsted Product and Tech Foundations team.

We are looking for

• A supportive and considerate team player that enjoys working closely with both developers, UX and other product managers.
