The team works on topics including how Spotify’s $10 billion+ annual royalty pool is allocated, reducing incentives for bad actors, and preparing our platform for future trends and technologies in music, like AI.

- Help track industry trends, feedback, and data in partnership with cross-functional teams like Data Science, Music Economics, and Music Partnerships.
- Coordinate policy launches across internal teams, ensuring consistency and clarity in our communications and implementation.
- Collaborate with other teams to gather input, share insights, and support Spotify’s broader music strategy.
Who You Are
- You have 2+ years of relevant experience in the music industry, policy, legal, or technology platforms — and a passion for helping artists thrive.
- You’re energized by translating complex topics into clear, actionable insights.
- You’re detail-oriented and organized, with a bias for action and an ability to juggle multiple priorities.
- You’re a strong communicator and collaborator, eager to learn from others and contribute to team goals.
- You love music and believe in building a more transparent, equitable future for artists and songwriters.
- You’re curious and proactive — excited to learn, grow, and make an impact at scale.
Where You'll Be
- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! For this role, you can be within the US region as long as we have a work location.
- This team operates within the Eastern time zone for collaboration.
