About the role
Spotify’s Personalization team helps every listener decide what to play next. Together, we power some of Spotify’s most-loved features, from Daily Mix to Discover Weekly, helping hundreds of millions of listeners discover music, podcasts and audiobooks they love. We’re also hard at work building the recommendation technologies of tomorrow, powered by ground breaking innovations in machine learning and generative AI. At the heart of our recommender systems lies a powerful data platform that ingests, stores, models and serves behavioural data about our users. This platform helps us gain a deep understanding of what each user likes (and dislikes!), and enables our internal customer-squads to power listener-facing experiences.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to work across 2 cross-functional squads, who own and operate this platform. You’ll collaborate with both squads and work closely with a wide range of stakeholders to understand how best we can serve important use-cases across the business. You’ll keep in lock-step with Spotify’s wider product vision for AI, and you’ll own the strategy for how our user-data will help bring this vision to life. You’ll work within the “Recommendation Foundations” product area, within our “AI Foundations” organization. We ask that you be physically located in Eastern Standard/Daylight time zones, for the purposes of our collaboration hours.
Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Spotify for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones. Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.
At Spotify, we are passionate about inclusivity and making sure
