Editorial Developer, Schibsted Product Lab

About this role

We’re building the next generation of Schibsted’s media products Schibsted’s product ambition is to reinvent our media destinations for the AI era to make our journalism a relevant daily habit for more people. Most of that work happens in our existing product organisation, where we continuously improve and reinvent products used by millions of people every day. But some opportunities require something different: more freedom from today’s products and business models, longer horizons, greater uncertainty and permission to challenge the core.

That's why we're setting up Schibsted Product Lab . Product Lab is a small, autonomous product environment that builds, launches and tests the next generation of Schibsted’s media products with real users. We start small, increase investment as evidence grows, stop ideas that do not prove themselves, and help successful products become part of, or reshape, Schibsted’s core. We are now looking for an Editorial Developer to join the Product Lab core team! How we want to work Our ambition is to make Product Lab an AI-enabled, high-velocity product environment where we can move from idea to execution at high speed.

We want to push the boundaries of how emerging technologies can transform the way we discover, design and build products, equipping small teams with the tools and capabilities to turn ambitious ideas into real user experiences in days rather than months. We embrace experimentation, challenge established ways of working and prioritise learning over perfection. And we see the ability to confidently stop an idea that doesn't work as just as important as knowing when to invest further.

The role and mission As Editorial Developer in Product Lab, you will work at the intersection of journalism, technology, product and design to explore what the next generation of media destinations could look like. You will combine deep editorial understanding with technical curiosity and hands-on experimentation, turning emerging technologies, changing user behaviours and new ideas into concrete editorial experiences.

This is a role tasked with challenging assumptions about how journalism works, exploring entirely new ways of bringing journalistic value to people, and making those possibilities real enough to test. You will be part of Product Lab's small permanent core team, working across early-stage initiatives alongside product managers, designers, engineers and colleagues from Schibsted's editorial organisations. What you will do Identify new editorial opportunities, exploring how emerging technologies and changing user behaviours could transform how journalism is created, distributed and experienced.
