Design Manager - Editorial job at Spotify

The Platform team creates the technology that enables Spotify to learn quickly and scale easily, enabling rapid growth in our users and our business around the globe. Spanning many disciplines, we work to make the business work; creating the frameworks, capabilities and tools needed to welcome a billion customers. Join us and help to amplify productivity, quality and innovation across Spotify.

We’re searching for an experienced Design Manager to join Spotify’s Editorial Design team in Miami to focus on one of our fastest growing markets, LatAm. Editorial Design is a globally distributed practice focused on building and unifying Spotify’s brand personality across all of our products. We build brands, tools and product experiences for a global audience spread across 184 markets (and counting). At the center of our remit, we drive the global creative direction of Spotify’s iconic playlists.

We are a horizontal practice, collaborating with product, brand, marketing and content disciplines. We think in terms of scalable systems, not bespoke solutions. If you’re an experienced manager, a great collaborator with a strong interest in editorial design and music culture, this opportunity might be your calling.

What you’ll do

Manage and direct: the focus of this role is overseeing the creative quality of Spotify’s content design across the LatAm market by managing the work of full-time designers, agencies, and freelancers.

Resourcing: you’ll partner with PMs to balance our team’s workload and resources appropriately.

Build: you’ll help to grow our LatAm network, recruiting, hiring and maintaining a network of LatAm’s best creative talent.
Lead: you’ll be a leader within the team and across the company.
Collaborate: you’ll represent Editorial Design while working with multi-disciplinary teams within the region. You’ll partner closely with editorial music editors, art buyers, program managers, project managers, and art directors to create elegant and practical solutions.
Innovate: you’ll contribute to evolving one of the world’s most iconic brands, respecting our past while looking toward our future.
Travel: you’ll work from our Miami office but travel to global offices on a regular basis. (Currently not seeking remote workers for this role)
Design: your primary focus will be managing other designers, but you’ll also need to roll up your sleeves and execute work when needed.
