THE OPPORTUNITY

Overview

We design Spotify’s consumer experience – end to end, moment to moment, across every screen, platform, and partner integration. Our mission is to make listening feel effortless, personal, and joyful for billions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touchpoints—from our mobile and desktop apps to the smart speakers, TVs, cars, and integrations where Spotify shows up every day. If it touches a consumer, we shape it. We bring deep insight into human behavior, design, and technology to craft experiences that feel intuitive, expressive, and unmistakably Spotify.

  • Drive innovation across multimodal experiences, including the intersection of listening and reading.
  • Partner with Engineering, Design, Data, and other cross-functional teams to deliver intuitive, high-quality experiences at scale.
  • Use data, experimentation, and user insights to make informed product decisions and continuously improve the experience.
  • Build alignment across Core Experience, Audiobooks, Personalization, and other partners to create a cohesive Spotify experience.
  • Lead complex cross-functional initiatives end to end, setting direction and scope, creating alignment, and partnering with Engineering on delivery.
  • Who You Are

  • You have 5+ years of product management experience, including meaningful experience with audiobook, ebook, digital reading, or related consumer products.
  • You have a deep understanding of the audiobook or digital reading landscape, including user behavior, publisher ecosystems, and competitive dynamics.
