About

Posten Norge, which is also known as Norway Post, is the name of the Norwegian postal service and is owned and governed by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications. The company’s history dates back to 1647 when it was founded by general post master Henrik Morian, and today splits its business operations into four divisions; post, logistics, distribution network and ErgoGroup – which specialises in electronic services and outsourcing. Siv Jahr has been at Posten Norge for the past ten years, taking up the role of general counsel three years ago. Before this she was a senior adviser at the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and utilises her experience within the legal framework of the logistics sector in Norway not only to provide outstanding advice herself, but to guide and lead its high-performing legal team. The team’s work – which is multifaceted and technically complex – has helped Posten Norge outline an ambitious and innovative business agenda which includes a recently announced partnership with autonomous technology startup Buddy Mobility, which the organisation has begun working with to develop a new ground-based delivery robot capable of delivering mail and parcel items to 100 customers
each day.
