As Head of Artist & Label Product, you'll lead the product organization responsible for these experiences, bringing together our artist and label products into a clear, connected strategy. You'll lead PM managers and senior PMs, set direction across multiple product areas, and turn that strategy into meaningful outcomes for artists, labels, listeners, and Spotify.

What You'll Do

  • Own business and product outcomes across the portfolio, translating long-term strategy into clear priorities and near-term goals.
  • 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+ years 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.


Where You'll Be

About Spotify

Spotify is a Swedish audio streaming and media services provider, launched in October 2008. The platform is owned by Spotify AB, a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange since April 2018. Spotify's primary business is providing an audio streaming platform, with the company claiming that it had 345 million active monthly users and 155 million paying subscribers as of December 2020. Unlike physical or download sales, which pay artists a fixed price per song or album sold, Spotify pays royalties based on the number of artist streams as a proportion of total songs streamed on the service. Spotify distributes approximately 70% of its total revenue to rights holders, who then pay artists based on their individual agreements. Spotify has faced criticism from artists and producers including Taylor Swift and Thom Yorke, who have argued that it does not fairly compensate musicians.
