MARKETING MANAGER - Travel & Scaling
THE OPPORTUNITY IN A NUTSHELL
You? A results-driven marketing professional fluent in Norwegian, ready to tackle operational and strategic challenges in scaling marketing for both real estate and travel.
Role? Marketing Manager to develop and execute marketing strategies and working closely with key stakeholders to drive growth across FINN Travel, Real Estate and our portfolio companies within Real Estate.
Location? We embrace a hybrid work approach and invite you to join us in our office in Oslo for 2-3 days a week to enjoy our community and office vibes! If you’re not the working-from-home kind of person, you are of course welcome in our office every day.
Why us? Schibsted is on an exciting journey of scaling digital solutions across industries. This is your chance to play a pivotal part in creating innovative marketing strategies that fuel growth for two major sectors. You lead impactful campaigns, experiment with cutting-edge tools, and work alongside passionate professionals in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Sounds like your cup of tea? Check out the details below!

WHO ARE YOU?

• You have gathered hands-on experience in driving growth via digital marketing, particularly in user acquisition and multi-channel campaign management. You know how to drive traffic and conversions through channels like SEO, SEM, PPC, and social media.
• Experience with marketing tools such as Amplitude, Google Ads, and CRM systems is essential, and you’re comfortable managing campaigns from start to finish, ensuring they align with business goals.
• You’re in your element when analyzing performance metrics and using data to optimize marketing and campaign performance.
• When faced with challenges and change, you bring fresh ideas and aren’t afraid to experiment with innovative solutions, finding a way forward.
• Fluent in Norwegian and English: while most of your stakeholders are Norwegian speaking, Schibsted company language is English and we gather people together from multiple backgrounds.
• As a person, you thrive in a fast-paced, Nordic and dynamic environment, working closely with cross-functional and nordic teams and bringing everyone on the same page to align marketing efforts with business and marketing strategies.

WHAT’S THE JOB LIKE?
Day-to-day work & projects cooking
As Marketing Manager for Travel & Scaling, you focus on operational execution, driving marketing tactics that support growth across both real estate and travel portfolios. You acquire new users through multiple channels, from SEO and SEM to partnerships and social media. On a day-to-day, you optimize user acquisition campaigns, manage budgets, and ensure marketing spend drives maximum ROI. You work closely with various teams, such as product and insights, to innovate and adapt strategies that align with our business goals. This involves executing marketing plans, experimenting with new initiatives, and scaling successful campaigns. You also produce high-quality content tailored to the customer journey in both real estate and travel sectors, ensuring messaging is compelling and consistent across platforms.

Data is what drives your decisions. You analyze competitors’ strategies, dive into performance metrics, and continuously refine your approach through A/B testing and other methods. You track key OKRs and ensure marketing efforts align with broader business objectives.

But your chance to make an impact does not stop here! You coordinate with both local and Nordic stakeholders and teams to align on goals, learning from each other and gathering feedback which allows us to keep growing and evolving.

Not everything is cotton candy clouds, so here’s the main opportunity to leave your mark!
Managing marketing for both real estate and travel requires agility and adaptability. You face the challenge of navigating two diverse industries simultaneously, with shifting trends and competitive landscapes. Thus, a creative mind when faced with moving scenarios will help you greatly to stay on top of industry developments while ensuring that marketing efforts remain innovative, effective, and aligned with business objectives - and it amplifies your opportunity to make a real impact in the industries!

WHAT WE OFFER
We guarantee an engaging workplace where successes are celebrated and colleagues support each other. Our benefits include several celebrations, great cabins in Trysil, and free subscriptions to Aftenposten+, VG+, PodMe, E24+ and more. We value work-life balance, offering flexible working hours. When you join us at our colourful and vibrant Oslo office, prepare for mouthwatering lunches that'll make your home-cooking game weak. If you want to give your health a little extra love, you can join our own SATS classes, winter ski-lessons, weekly padel training, and massage and physiotherapy in the office. And yes, we love cake!
