Job Description
THE OPPORTUNITY IN A NUTSHELL
You are a strategic retail industry professional who understands retailer business models and marketing investments inside out.
Role
As our Industry Strategy Lead, you will shape Vend Advertising’s retail strategy and value proposition across the Nordic markets.
Company
Vend, home of FINN, Blocket, Tori, Oikotie, DBA & Bilbasen, where millions of people across the Nordics connect to find what they need, whether it’s a job, a home or a way to move.
Location
Join us in our Oslo/Stockholm office, with the flexibility to work 3 days per week remotely!
Why us?
This is your chance to pioneer the fast-growing Retail and Commerce Media landscape across the Nordics. You will directly influence how major brands connect with consumers, driving true business impact with great professional growth and high organizational visibility.
WHAT’S THE JOB LIKE?
Your main mission is to be the primary retail expert at Vend Advertising, bridging the gap between retailer needs and our commercial strategy. While Product Managers focus on tech execution, you bring the outside-in market perspective.
On a weekly basis, you will support Nordic Sales and Commercial Success teams with retail playbooks, participate in high-level strategic customer discussions, and shape custom account strategies.
Exciting projects include building out our industry-specific commercial narratives, developing next-generation Retail Media playbooks, and representing Vend as a thought leader at major Nordic industry forums.

- You are a marketing and media expert who understands how performance, shopper, and retail media drive business outcomes across the customer journey.
