Spotify is investing in its financial systems around royalties to support fast innovation and iteration in this core area for the company. As part of our growth, we are looking to build a platform that will be used internally by hundreds of employees, and externally by thousands of licensors. The system will provide licensors with analytical tools and insights on their performance, while also covering several what-if scenarios, in order to improve engagement and enable better partnerships with Spotify.
We are looking for an experienced designer who can transform insights from user research into innovative solutions in a unified platform, offering our different user groups a great experience. You are a great UX professional who is able to go from early sketches on paper, perform user research, wireframes, prototypes as well as understand stakeholders requirements. This role provides a lot of responsibilities and possibilities to influence and create an exceptional product that our users will love.
The ideal candidate is someone who is enthusiastic about working with Web applications for both internal users and external users in the music industry. The applications include data visualization and workflows in a data heavy environment.
What you'll do
- Lead design projects, collaborate with other designers based in Stockholm, and work together across the entire product lifecycle with multiple launches.
- Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes; knowing when to apply pixel-perfect and when to make low-fi sketches and process flow.
- User research, define users’ needs, create and validate concepts with end-users and turn insights into value-adding features and actionable deliverables.
- Work with multi-disciplinary teams. You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, and business (among other stakeholders) to find user-centered and practical solutions. You’ll provide the leadership to develop the right product design strategy.

- Develop and refine user-centered design processes and best practices, and actively contribute to our visionary work.

- You have excellent communication skills together with analytical thinking and problem-solving capability. You love to break down and simplify complex problems and you are confident to present to mixed audiences at different levels of the organization.
- Strong conceptual thinking with an ability to understand user’s needs, motivations and behaviors and translate them into actionable deliverables.
- A proactive and collaborative designer with the ability to contribute to a multi-disciplinary team.
- A true team player willing to share your skills and experience with the rest of the design team and organization.
- You have a people-focused design mentality. You are constantly looking to refine your designs through user feedback, whether through hands-on user research, or designing options for A/B tests.
- Can provide an online portfolio, or PDF that you can share with us.
