Schibsted news media

We are looking for a Data & AI Governance Specialist to strengthen our work on data governance across Schibsted. The role focuses on supporting and executing governance practices across both the line organization and data & AI-related projects.

You will work hands-on with teams across technology, product, and subscription to implement governance frameworks, resolve data governance issues, and ensure consistent practices. The role requires a structured and pragmatic approach, with the ability to operate in a complex stakeholder landscape.

This is an execution-oriented role, where you will contribute to embedding governance in day-to-day work rather than defining overall strategy.
