Sr. UX Writer, Performance job at Spotify

We work at the intersection of advertising and messaging technologies to connect millions of brands to billions of fans. As part of the Advertising team, we’re paving the way for a sustainable global Spotify business that allows even more creators to make a living off their art. Come join us and help build the platform that powers promotion at Spotify.

Help us define the future of advertising on Spotify, while fueling the growth of the entire company!Performance Platform is building the foundational layer of Spotify’s advertising business. It is a cross-functional group that encompasses everything from product designers to machine learning engineers (and everything in between). We are focused on building robust, reusable, and reliable capabilities for the rest of the company to build upon.

The Design Team in Performance Platform works across a wide range of business-critical product initiatives — from extending Spotify’s design system to support ad formats and tooling, to developing new audio-forward ad formats, to setting the long-term vision for brands on Spotify, to building exceptional internal tools to support our rapidly scaling ads business. Everything we build is, at its core, a capability for other teams to build upon, so we take deep pride in being deeply customer focused, and detail obsessed.

We are looking for an experienced UX Writer to join our team and take ownership of key initiatives, at a moment of inflection for our business!This will be an exciting period where you will get to exercise your own hard-won skills and have ample opportunity to expand and develop new ones. UX Writers play a central role in our team, often owning large and complex design projects. They operate both at a tactical level, crafting sophisticated copy and other content solutions, and at a strategic level, partnering with product managers to shape direction on high priority projects. Being a platform team, our UX Writers also work to create and codify standards and documentation relating to brands and advertising across Spotify.

Have an equal voice with product designers in the product development process
Work in a variety of projects, from broad explorative prompts to tightly defined launch cycles
