With research, product development, product design, engineering, and marketing all collaborating in one organization, we’re able to quickly create meaningful features and services for millions of people around the world, resulting in joyful, long-lasting relationships with Spotify.

We are looking for an experienced and highly collaborative Senior Product Designer to be a strategic design contributor on a team committed to finding opportunities and crafting solutions to inform the future and growth of Spotify through Connection & Curiosity. Come make Spotify come alive, with every story we tell, and every connection that we create, we unlock human connection, making our products feel more joyful and human. The ideal candidate is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about product design outside of the native experience and is able to guide the design process from early sketches on paper to wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes as well as understand team 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.

What you'll do

Collaborate with other designers and user research to lead design projects intended for unique audience use cases and markets around the world.
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.

Who you are

You have experience in a similar role at consumer-focused product companies and delivering great user experience.
You have solid design skills. You’ve shipped products, and understand what it takes to create valuable, people-oriented experiences. Bonus skills include motion design and prototyping skills.
A proactive and collaborative designer with the ability to contribute to a multi-disciplinary team.
You have the skills for translating and documenting design ideas into visuals that can be shared with all parts of the business.
You possess a strong understanding of usability and user experience principles.
You take calculated risks: you’re comfortable with designing to learn, unafraid of making mistakes (because they are a part of learning), and can temper your analytical skills with intuition and creative ambition.
You have the communication skills to help set up frameworks and brainstorm initial design concepts. Also instrumental is the ability to speak confidently to your own design work and convince others of your reasoning.
You have an online portfolio, or PDF that you can share with us. Applications without a portfolio are unlikely to be considered.
