Summer Internship, Product job at Spotify

We are looking for a Product Design Intern to join Spotify’s Fan Monetization team this summer. We help artists make a living by finding new ways for them to monetize on Spotify, including selling merch to their fans. The Product Design Intern will work on designing digital product experiences for both music artists and fans.

You are someone who is passionate about problem solving based on insights from real people. You are interested in refining your craft and creating strong partnerships with your colleagues across engineering, product, and research. You like to go deep into problems, and you know that visual design is just one small piece of the puzzle. You love music and you are energized by the idea of helping ‌artists succeed in the digital economy.

What you'll do

Dive into unfamiliar problem spaces and think about user needs, end-to-end experiences, and ease of use.
Produce design artifacts; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect attention to detail, and when to zoom out and think about the system as a whole. You are comfortable creating low-fi sketches and mapping user flows as well as generating realistic prototypes.
Participate in design critiques and provide feedback on other designers’ work.
Work with research to conduct usability testing and gather feedback from artists, creators, and listeners to improve designs.
Work on design projects across the entire product lifecycle. Our teams focus on listening to users and letting their needs guide us to the best solutions.
Work with small multi-disciplinary teams. You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, research, and business folks to find elegant but practical solutions.

Who you are

You are pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Design, User Experience, Human Computer Interaction or a related field of study.
You have a graduation date of 2024 or 2025.
You have experience with: User experience design, user interface design, interaction design, visual design, working in Figma and Google Docs.
You have familiarity with: user journey mapping, UX writing (writing for user interfaces), prototyping in Figma (or other prototyping software), user research, data analytics.
Familiarity with the music industry and eCommerce is a plus.
You’re a great communicator. You have the communication skills to help set up frameworks and brainstorm initial design concepts. You are comfortable facilitating workshops.
You can work within constraints without compromising the user experience.
You are constantly looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback, peer feedback, and learning new design skills and techniques.
You have an online portfolio or PDF that you can share with us (please include any passwords in your application).
