Senior Product Manager - Audio & Media Playback

Spotify; London; Hybrid; GBP 60,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job description

Delivering the best Spotify experience possible. To as many people as possible. In as many moments as possible. That’s what the Experience team is all about. We use our deep understanding of consumer expectations to enrich the lives of millions of our users all over the world, bringing the music and audio they love to the devices, apps and platforms they use every day. Know what our users want? Join us and help Spotify give it to them.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager that will join the Play Product Area within the Core Experience Studio to help evolve the experience of audio and media playback on Spotify. You will help define and evolve the experiences that make playing on Spotify more engaging, rewarding, and valuable for users, creators, and Spotify. Above all, your work will impact how hundreds of millions users experience music and media.

What You’ll Do

• Work with a cross-functional team that looks after our audio playback capabilities.
• Work with engineering, design, data science and user research to ensure the experience is scalable, usable, and useful for a range of strategies.
• Lead multiple projects across the entire product lifecycle.
• Triangulate data and insights to develop a robust product strategy and inform decision-making as well as short- and long-term roadmaps.
• Manage cross-functional and cross-org relationships to keep them informed, receive input, and influence their thinking.

Who You Are

• You are an experienced product manager with the ability to work with cross-functional teams, lead complex projects across multiple strategies and stakeholders, and make data-driven decisions.
• You are an expert in audio experiences, with a strong understanding of both the engineering aspects of audio processing and editing, as well as their impact on the user listening experience. For example, you understand how features like crossfading and beatmatching influence the flow and feel of an audio session, while also ensuring high overall audio quality.
• Experience from developing video playback experiences (in addition to audio) is a plus; e.g. low-latency video delivery, DRM, and optimizing playback for improved QoE.
• You have led the product work of several products in large tech companies that you can tell us about.
• You have a deep understanding of product practices and know how to incorporate multiple different perspectives (including user research, data and strategy) into one single product vision and experience.
• You care about creating engaging, rewarding, and valuable experiences for users, creators, and Spotify.

Where You’ll Be

• This role is based in London or Stockholm.
• 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.

Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Spotify for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones. Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.
