She served as a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway from Akershus during the terms 2013–2017, 2017–2021 and 2021–2025.

Hailing from Molde, she has been an elected member of Ås municipal council and Akershus county council.

Following the 2023 Norwegian local elections, the Liberal Party managed to form a county cabinet together with its coalition partners, led by Anette Solli. The county cabinet would preside over Akershus County Municipality, following the dissolution of Viken on 1 January 2024. Schytz was selected as county commissioner of planning, cultural artefacts, climate and the environment.[3]
