The Role
Our mission on the Advertising Product & Technology team is to build a next generation advertising platform that aligns with our unique value proposition for audio and video. We work to scale the user experience for hundreds of millions of fans and hundreds of thousands of advertisers. This scale brings unique challenges as well as tremendous opportunities for our artists and creators.
We are looking for a passionate and experienced Senior Product Manager to lead Ads Privacy. This is a high-impact, hands-on individual contributor role at the center of monetization, regulation, and user trust. You will define and execute the privacy strategy for Ads, ensuring consent and data use controls are deeply embedded in our platform architecture and advertiser workflows.
You will own both frontend surfaces and backend enforcement systems. You are expected to drive execution across multiple product and engineering teams while forming strong, trust-based partnerships with our legal and business teams.This role requires clear judgment. You will frame and recommend revenue–risk trade-offs to senior leadership, and help ensure our Ads platform remains competitive in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
What You'll Do
- Define and own the end-to-end strategy and roadmap for Ads Privacy, including scalable implementations of new and existing global privacy policies, age appropriate design frameworks and global industry and safety standards.
- Navigate the intersection of user privacy and performance, translating regulatory shifts into clear, data-driven insights and recommendations that help leadership balance compliance with sustainable business growth.
- Establish a scalable user consent and choice platform that is principled and observable.
- Shape our ads ML and AI strategy in accordance with emerging regulations and internal data governance standards.
- Act as the primary Ads Privacy PM interface across Legal, Privacy Engineering, and other Product teams throughout Spotify, as well as external vendors and partners.
- Create a healthy, productive environment on your squad through honesty, accountability, empathy, and inclusivity.
Who You Are
- You have 5+ years of experience building complex products in ad tech, privacy, or data platforms, with a track record of delivering scalable, high-impact solutions.
- You think in systems, not just features — you can design durable privacy foundations that scale with product complexity rather than simply checking boxes.
- You balance technical rigor with business impact, prioritizing investments that improve data integrity, user trust, and long-term revenue sustainability — and you know how to quantify the trade-off when the two pull in opposite directions.
- You have a working understanding of the advertising ecosystem and are familiar with Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework, CCPA/CPRA, GDPR and DSA.
- You are a master communicator — capable of acting as the translator between Legal, Engineering, and Ad Sales, and comfortable presenting to senior leadership with clarity and conviction.
- You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, staying ahead of platform shifts and regulatory changes months before they become requirements.
- You leverage AI tools to augment product discovery, technical reasoning, and communication, with discernment about when to rely on automation vs. deeper domain expertise.
