Job description

Spotify is seeking an accomplished Global Experiential & Content Producer to lead a global team responsible for delivering creative high-impact live experiences and content productions across the company. This is a senior creative and production role guiding both the experiential work and content creation, two distinct but interconnected disciplines.

While this role sits within Global Communications, the impact is company-wide. You will support multiple functions across the business including Communications, Ads, Government Affairs, Product, Music, Creator, Podcast and Audiobooks teams—to bring their initiatives to life through strategic events and content.

Importantly: this team works alongside Spotify’s Brand Experiential Marketing team. That team owns global consumer and brand marketing events. Your team will own a defined set of experiential programs tied to communications priorities, creator/industry relationships, policy moments, company events, VIP/Influencer programming, thought leadership platforms, and other business-driven needs – not all events across Spotify.

You will ensure these experiences and content productions are executed at a world‑class level, aligned to business objectives, and grounded in a strong creative vision.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the Global Experiential & Content Production Team.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a global team of producers across experience production and content production.
• Champion the creative vision and approach to experiential executions and content narratives, ensuring the team stays inspired, informed by cultural and industry trends, and consistently pushes toward best‑in‑class expressions of the Spotify brand through distinctive, memorable experiences.
• Define team priorities based on the areas of the business your team supports—distinct from consumer marketing events.
• Establish scalable processes, standards, and workflows tailored to the types of events and content your team produces.
• Serve as the senior production authority for high‑stakes, business‑driven experiential and content outputs.
• Experiential Production (for specific business + communications needs):
• Produce select live experiences such as corporate programs, industry moments, creator/partner events, policy engagements, internal events, performances, installations, and VIP experiences.
• Ensure alignment with the business goals of the cross‑functional teams your work supports.
• Translate non‑marketing objectives—such as thought leadership, creator relations, policy influence, partner engagement, internal culture, or strategic communications—into impactful live experiences.
• Manage regional permitting, labor rules, and venue operations across global markets.
• Have, continue to grow and maintain a global roster of best‑in‑class experiential production partners.
• Content Production:
• Oversee content tied to strategic initiatives and events, including sizzles, recaps, branded content, creator‑facing materials, editorial assets, and other visual storytelling formats.
• Guide creative direction in collaboration with internal creative teams and external studios/vendors.
• Manage event and content budgets, timelines, approvals, and multi‑stakeholder routing.
• Creative Leadership & Innovation:
• Bring a strong creative POV, pushing work forward while elevating both experiential and content outputs.
• Introduce new production formats, technologies, and methodologies that improve quality, efficiency, or innovation.
• Convert digital‑first ideas into memorable physical experiences and content that reflects Spotify’s culture and vision.
• Operational & Production Excellence:
• Manage budgets across experiential and content programs, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
• Provide clear direction to the GECP team, production partners and internal collaborators.
• Own quality control for the team’s outputs and set a high bar for excellence.
• Ensure cross‑functional partners understand process, expectations, and timelines, while remaining flexible and solution oriented.

Who You Are

• 15+ years of experience in both live event production and content production within entertainment, media, music, or similar fields.
• Experienced in producing events large and small in a way that supports business, creator, and communications goals.
• A strong, respected, hands on creative leader who can guide, mentor, and up‑level a global team.
• Able to collaborate with C‑suite leaders, senior executives, and high‑profile talent.
• Deep knowledge of global event production, permitting, labor rules, staging, lighting, and technical operations.
• Skilled at balancing multiple productions simultaneously in a fast‑paced environment.
• Operationally excellent, financially disciplined, and creatively driven.
• A global operator who thrives across time zones, regions, and cultures.
• Comfortable traveling extensively (up to 70%).
• Portfolio and references may be required.

Where You’ll Be

• This role can be based in NYC, Los Angeles, or London.
• We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in‑person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.

The United States base range for this position is $203,113 - $290,162, plus equity. The benefits available for this position include health insurance, six month paid parental leave, 401(k) retirement plan, 23 paid days off, 13 paid flexible holidays.
