Global Associate Director, Experiential & Content Production

Spotify’s Global Experiential and Content Production team is seeking an Associate Director with well-rounded content and event production experience to join our team.

While this role sits within Global Communications, the impact is company-wide. You will support multiple functions across the business including Communications, Ads, Government Affairs, Product, Music, Creator, Podcast and Audiobooks teams—to bring their initiatives to life through strategic events and content.

Importantly: this team works alongside Spotify’s Brand Experiential Marketing team. That team owns global consumer and brand marketing events. This team owns a defined set of experiential programs tied to communications priorities, creator/industry relationships, policy moments, company events, VIP/Influencer programming, thought leadership platforms, and other business-driven needs - not all events across Spotify.

As an Associate Director, you will play a key role in delivering high-impact creative content and managing live event production. You will build scalable solutions to maximize the success of these projects and support GECP’s Director in the development, management, and execution of our team objectives and project goals. This is a senior creative and production role, guiding both the experiential work and content creation. 

The role requires significant travel (domestic and international) up to 70%
