We are looking for an experienced and highly collaborative Product Designer to be a strategic design contributor on a team committed to finding opportunities and crafting solutions to inform the future of Spotify on the web, using SEO as the main strategic lever to grow our top-of-funnel traffic to and increase our user base. The ideal candidate is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the web and is able to guide the design process from early sketches on paper to wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes as well as understand stakeholders requirements.
You will be working closely with a multidisciplinary team of Engineers, Product Managers, Researchers and Data Scientists, whilst balancing input and strategy from Marketing and Business partners to deliver outstanding experiences and solutions for our users and partners alike.

- Work with small multi-disciplinary team made up of representatives from engineering, product, product insights, and marketing, among others to find opportunities, test and launch features.
- Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes, understanding when deeper exploration is warranted and when it is best to change paths and try another approach.
- You’ll take into account existing insights, technical constraints, business needs, and specific market demands to produce data-informed solutions.
- Be autonomous. Take full ownership of your work and full responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way, from whiteboard sketching to high-fidelity final treatments.
