• Lead, coach, and develop PM managers and senior PMs, creating an environment where people can do their best work and continue strengthening their product craft.
• Advance how the product organization uses AI to improve the way we build, learn, make decisions, and deliver value.
• Make thoughtful prioritization and resource decisions across product areas, navigating trade-offs and keeping teams focused on the outcomes that matter most.
• Partner closely with Design, Engineering, Product Insights, Content, and Business leaders to build high-quality products at Spotify’s scale.
• Represent the needs of artists and labels in key product and business decisions, helping teams balance creator, listener, and Spotify priorities.
• Navigate a complex music ecosystem, including relationships with labels and distributors, legal and licensing considerations, and dependencies across Spotify.
Who You Are
• You bring 12+ years1 of product management experience, including 5+ years leading product managers and product management leaders.
• You have led complex product portfolios and can turn broad opportunities into clear strategies, priorities, and measurable outcomes.
• You have experience building products for multi-sided platforms and understand how to create value for different groups with distinct needs.
• You understand the commercial side of product development and are comfortable working across revenue, engagement, and user-experience goals.
• You have experience creating new products and scaling established products to serve large audiences.
• You can move comfortably between long-term strategy and detailed product decisions, communicating effectively with senior leaders while staying close to teams and customers.
• You build trusted cross-functional relationships and have delivered complex products across teams, disciplines, and organizational boundaries.
• You communicate complex ideas clearly and create frameworks that help teams make informed decisions and move forward.
