About the Creation Platform Mission

The Creation Platform Mission is a group passionate about the future of audio and podcasting, laser-focused on re-positioning Spotify from being a traditional 1-way broadcaster, to become a true interactive marketplace between 50 million creators and a billion users. We succeed when podcast creators succeed and we want to enable anyone to be a podcast creator.

We have three platforms that help us deliver a great creator experience: Anchor (the platform that allows you to create, distribute, monetize, and grow a podcast, all for free), Spotify for Podcasters (the platform that makes it easy to understand and engage with your listeners on Spotify), and Greenroom (the platform that allows anyone to stream or listen to live audio).

We’ve done a lot already, and we have no plans of slowing down. Come help us build the future of podcast creation!

• You’ll lead projects to deeply understand how podcast creators want to manage and distribute their work.
• Apply big-picture thinking to break down open-ended opportunities into meaningful next steps and find new opportunities for work that span across our organizational boundaries.
• Work across creator-facing surfaces and more technical spaces, bringing the needs of our creators with you as you explore.

• Have an understanding that localization, representation, and empathy for different cultures as that is crucial within this role.
• You're constantly looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback. Whether through hands-on user research or by designing options for an A/B test.
• Someone who can ruthlessly prioritize and execute. You are comfortable optimizing for speed and knowing when we should sweat the details vs what we can fix forward.
• Please provide an online portfolio or PDF that you can share with us. Please be sure to provide any necessary passwords, we cannot advance your application without them.
