Job description

This Senior HR Manager position at Spotify exists for one reason: too many good ideas here die for lack of a business case. Picture $80,000 - $120,000, a remote cadence, and 6 years of Succession Planning translating into a manager seat you actually steer at Spotify.

Key Responsibilities

• Defend the budget line by line when Grand Rapids finance comes knocking
• Keep Spotify from optimizing a number that doesn't pay rent
• Keep Grand Rapids expansion on schedule when half the plan changes weekly
• Run discovery with MI operators to find what the data won't show
• Run the post-mortem after a launch slips and bank the lessons, not the blame

What You'll Bring

• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• A history of leaving business processes better than you found them
• Demonstrated knack for making the playfully-serious feel manageable
• At least 7 years building expertise within the business space
• 8+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating

Anchored in Grand Rapids, MI, Spotify designs the kind of craft-obsessed systems that business teams quietly depend on every single day. Ownership at Spotify means you fix the broken thing even when nobody assigned it to you.

We seal the offer with $80,000 - $120,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, the four reasons MI talent picks Spotify first.
