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 and watching feel effortless, personal, and joyful for hundreds of millions of users around the world. That means turning complexity into clarity across hundreds of touchpoints. 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.

We’re seeking a Principal Product Manager to help lead the consumer experience across Spotify’s formats, including books, podcasts, and music. Format Foundations partners with the business teams behind each format to lead innovation in how users discover, engage with, and build lasting relationships with content on Spotify. You’ll set the product vision and strategy for your area and shape feature portfolios across formats. This role sits within Format Foundations in Core Experience, partnering closely with these teams to grow their businesses through product innovation.

 

  • Lead product vision and strategy across Spotify’s formats, shaping how books, podcasts, and music become more engaging, lovable, and valuable for users, creators, and the business.

  • Partner closely with business leaders across books, podcasts, and music to translate business strategy into product innovation that drives growth.

  • Use data, experimentation, and user insights to inform decisions and continuously improve the experience.
  • Align senior stakeholders across Core Experience, the business teams, and Personalization to create a cohesive consumer experience.
  • Lead multiple cross-functional initiatives end to end, owning scope and alignment and partnering with engineering on delivery.
  • Mentor product managers and raise the bar for product craft across the team.
  • You have 10+ years of experience in product management and have led product work across several consumer media products at scale in large technology companies.
  • You have deep knowledge of the consumer media landscape across areas such as books, podcasts, or music, including competitive dynamics, creator and publisher ecosystems, and user behavior.
  • You have experience building for mobile platforms such as iOS and Android, including complex user interfaces.
  • You understand how to build scalable systems and experiences that enable teams to move faster.
  • You’re able to balance user experience, technical constraints, and business impact.
  • You care deeply about creating intuitive, high-quality consumer experiences.
  • You’ve worked closely with engineering, design, and data partners to bring products to life.
  • You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and bringing clarity across teams and organizations.
  • You’ve influenced senior leaders and stakeholders across functions and levels to drive alignment and outcomes.
  • You actively use AI tools in your product development workflow, from research and analysis to iteration and prototyping.
