Music for everyone, no credit card needed. It’s a promise our platform was built on. And here in the Free team, we’re still building on it. We work on a massive scale, bringing people from all kinds of disciplines and all parts of the business together to deliver an amazing freemium experience to more than 129 million users worldwide. Want to help shape the future of free? Here’s how.
We work at the intersection of advertising and messaging technologies to connect millions of brands to billions of fans. As part of the Advertising team, we’re paving the way for a sustainable global Spotify business that allows even more creators to make a living off their art. Help us build the platform that powers promotion at Spotify.
Join our team to create experiences and tools that help brands and businesses to tell their stories and reach Spotify listeners. In this role, you’ll help build and evolve Spotify Ad Studio, our self-service advertising tool.
You’ll join a cross-functional group working on key strategic and growth efforts for Spotify – looking critically at how we build tools for advertisers, creating best-in-class experiences that grow and thrive within the Spotify ecosystem. We are looking for someone passionate about using their craft to help us create strategies and beautifully designed products. How do we deliver valuable, understandable experiences that provide real value to advertisers in the context of Spotify? How do we balance what’s good for business and our advertisers, with the need to champion, empower, and protect our listeners and the content they come to listen to? How do you empower advertisers of all kinds to become creators themselves?
What you’ll do
- Write clear, consistent, concise user-interface content, emails, notifications, and product tours at all stages of the advertiser journey.

- Consider problems from multiple angles. You’ll produce an array of divergent approaches informed by a confluence of user needs, business objectives and technical capabilities.
- Be autonomous. You’ll help promote an understanding for your discipline and the value it brings to the product development process. You’ll provide teams with the methods, process and solutions needed to execute strategy. You’ll drive progress through obstacles by building alignment and making decisions - taking responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way.
Who you are
- You have at least 5 years of experience writing or editing content for the web and mobile experiences, as a UX writer, information architect, content strategist, or similar. Experience designing for B2B and SaaS tools are big pluses.
