Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces

Lead the next growth phase for Norway’s leading digital car marketplace
Nettbil is transforming how used cars are sold in Norway. As the country’s leading C2B online auction platform, we connect private sellers with a vast network of professional car dealers --- offering a fast, transparent and efficient process for both sides of the market. As part of Schibsted Marketplaces' Nordic mobility portfolio, Nettbil plays a pivotal role in advancing the Group’s transactional C2B strategy across Norway, Sweden and Finland.
With a solid foundation in place --- more than 18,000 cars sold annually and 2,700+ dealers on the platform --- Nettbil is now entering a new and exciting chapter. Backed by Schibsted’s strategic resources and capabilities, coupled with the Nordic reach, the ambition is bold: to more than double revenues by 2030, become the preferred sourcing partner for used cars in Norway, and explore expansion opportunities across segments and geographies.
Significant opportunities lie ahead. We see ample headroom for growth in the Norwegian core, as well as in adjacent spaces like B2B car sourcing, cross-border trade and new inventory categories.
