You'll become a trusted partner to Spotify’s leadership team, helping ensure their safety and security wherever business takes them.

What You'll Do

• Protect Spotify’s senior leaders during daily activities, events, domestic and international travel.

• You are experienced with planning and executing security operations for travel, events, and high‑profile individuals.
• You have a deep understanding of personal security principles, threat management, and protective operations.

Where You'll Be
