- Support long-term monetization roadmaps by evaluating risks, tradeoffs, and growth opportunities across Spotify’s portfolio

- You’re comfortable operating with ambiguity and enjoy shaping new ideas where the path forward isn’t fully defined
- You communicate clearly and confidently, with experience presenting insights and recommendations to senior leadership
- You’re a proactive, independent problem-solver who can balance big-picture thinking with analytical detail
- You enjoy collaborating across disciplines and translating data into decisions
