Job Description

Spotify transformed how the world listens. Now we're transforming how the world discovers. Every day, millions of people come to Spotify to find music, podcasts, and audiobooks they'll love. As our platform evolves, we're building experiences that help listeners discover more, engage more deeply, and build lasting relationships with the content they love.

The Personalization team makes deciding what to play next easier and more enjoyable for every listener. From Blend to Discover Weekly, we're behind some of Spotify's most-loved features. We built them by understanding the world of music and podcasts better than anyone else. Join us and you'll keep millions of users listening by making great recommendations to each and every one of them.

You'll join the Surfaces Studio within the Personalization Mission, where you'll help shape how listeners discover and deepen their engagement across Spotify. Working closely with teams across Product, Engineering, Machine Learning, Design, Research, and Data Science, you'll define the systems that help people build richer, more meaningful relationships with music, podcasts, audiobooks, and future experiences.

• Define and drive the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution for Engagement Journeys across Spotify's consumer experience.
• Build intelligent engagement systems that help listeners naturally discover new formats, features, and devices based on meaningful behavioral signals.

• Work closely with Engineering, Design, Research, and Data Science to rapidly prototype, experiment, learn, and deliver high-impact product improvements.
• Influence the evolution of multiple Spotify surfaces and experiences so engagement journeys feel connected rather than fragmented.

• Make thoughtful product decisions using behavioral insights, experimentation, customer research, and data, even when operating with ambiguity.
• Build alignment across senior leaders and cross-functional teams to deliver initiatives that span multiple organizations.
• Balance innovation with user trust, quality, privacy, and long-term platform integrity.
