Summer Internship, Product job at Spotify

The Freemium R&D team oversees the entire user journey on Spotify and ensures we engage with people in innovative ways, every step of the way. Our team grows Spotify’s audience by finding future listeners around the world and delivering the right value to them, at the right time. 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.

Freemium design is here to take Spotify to the people, by making it better and more relevant, around the globe. We do this by making the customer journeys magnificent, or coming up with new value that fits into people's lives.

We are looking for a Product Design Intern to Join the Band this Summer. You are someone who is passionate about developing strategies based on insights of real people, is interested in mastering your craft to turn insights into incredible experiences, and encourage others by showing/prototyping what is possible. In this key role, you might work on unlocking commerce at Spotify, enabling our listeners and creators to buy or earn new, exciting products and services through Spotify; or crafting a visionary, world-class customer service experience.

What you'll do

Work on design projects across the entire product lifecycle. Let users lead the way. Our users inform where we are going. Our teams focus on listening to users and letting their needs guide us to the best solutions. It’s important for us to know we are solving for real people and not just the loudest voice in the room.
Work with small multi-disciplinary teams. You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, and business folks to find elegant but practical solutions to craft challenges. You’ll supply ideas to develop the right product strategy. Together, you’ll tackle problems and come up with solutions that delight our users.
Produce concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes.

Who you are

You are pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or a bootcamp certification in Graphic Design, Human Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field of study.
You have a graduation date of 2023 or 2024.
You currently have valid work authorization to work in the country in which this role is based that will extend from June to August 2023.
