Hi, I am your new manager!
My name is Jonas, and I will be your manager. I have worked in software development as a manager for quite some time now, mainly in FinTech and MarTech, before joining Blocket and Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces earlier this year.
I believe in giving the team the tools and trust to empower themselves and to self-organize, making the team take responsibility for what they have built and what and how they will build stuff going forward. I thrive in setting up a friendly and inclusive atmosphere where you can be yourself and have fun.

If you have any questions, any questions at all please reach out at jonas.urve@schibsted.com

Interested in joining?
We look forward to hearing from you! Send your CV or apply with your LinkedIn profile and let us know what makes you tick. We would love to get to know you a bit better! Have a link to some neat stuff on GitHub? Make sure to include a link when you apply.

Today, Blocket, which is owned by the media group Schibsted, is Sweden’s largest online marketplace. There are approximately 600 000 items, vehicles, jobs and housing being advertised and discovered by its 5 million visitors every week.
