You'll influence and interpret the overarching vision to drive strategic execution of design through the Product Area
Alongside your Engineering and Product partners, you will be responsible for leading the Podcasts product area, which has responsibilities across key aspects of the core platform of Spotify, providing thought leadership to develop the right product strategy.



Who you are
You have practical design chops, with extensive experience as a Product Designer previously. You’ve shipped products and understand what it takes to craft valuable experiences for people.
You have significant experience leading, coaching and directly managing a design team at consumer-focused product companies.
You’re a fantastic communicator and storyteller, together with analytical thinking and problem-solving capability. You love to break down and simplify complex problems and you are confident to present to mixed audiences at different levels of the organisation.
You have a people-focused design mentality. You're constantly looking to refine your work and have experience with user feedback, whether through hands-on user research, or designing options for A/B tests.
You have an online portfolio, or PDF that you can share with us. Applications without a portfolio are unlikely to be considered.
