Head of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging

Diversity, inclusion and belonging (DIB) is an important sustainability aspect and part of the corporate strategy agenda in Schibsted. We are convinced that our success depends on DIB. To fulfill our mission to empower people in their daily lives, we need a workforce with diversity competencies that represent the customers we serve. That is why Schibsted is committed to incorporating values of diversity and inclusion into every aspect of the company.

We want people at Schibsted to challenge the ordinary, find good ideas and achieve great things. To accomplish this, we depend on a workforce with a diverse mindset that contributes with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives. Diversity at Schibsted means all the differences and similarities that make us unique as individuals.

As DIB Manager you will report to SVP People Group Functions but also work closely with the Sustainability department.

After achieving our gender ratio goals set for 2020 we are now proceeding to work on the wider DIB agenda. We believe that there is a huge potential in a diverse and inclusive workforce and if we provide our leaders with the right competence and tools to build a culture of inclusion and belonging, we can release that potential and nourish collaboration and innovation that can turn into value creation for our stakeholders.

We need you to join us on that journey and be an influencer for the DIB agenda throughout the whole organization.

This implies that you share our beliefs and are visionary and purpose driven. You are bold and brave, innovative, flexible and inclusive and want to make an impact. You are able to see the individual in any situation and quickly activate the right behavior. You are a change-maker and can be a contributor and observer in the same situation. You understand how power and privileges affect the balance in society and in the workplace. You don’t mind being outside your comfort zone and challenging the status quo and when meeting the unknown, you see possibilities rather than problems. You are a good storyteller and can envision and communicate our common future.

You align with our leadership principles and are people-driven, agile, collaborative and entrepreneurial.
