Spotify Advertising is scaling globally and evolving into a performance-focused, AI-powered platform. The business problem is to simplify complex systems, build trust with advertisers, and drive scalable product growth through intuitive, automated, and measurable ad experiences.
Requirements
- You have 4+ years of experience designing complex digital products, ideally in ad tech, ML-driven tools, enterprise SaaS, or large-scale platforms.
- You’re comfortable working within and across systems—building design patterns that scale, while shipping polished UI across varied user flows.
- You work well with engineers and are familiar with technical concepts like APIs, data schemas, event flows, and service design. You know how to ask the right questions to evaluate what’s feasible and what’s possible.
- You’re curious and hands-on with AI and machine learning, and excited about designing interfaces that make automation feel clear, useful, and controllable.
- You have experience with A/B testing or experimentation frameworks and understand how metrics, test results, and hypotheses shape product iteration.
- You’re confident using prototyping tools to explore logic-heavy interactions, conditional flows, and systems feedback.
- Experience designing advertising, monetization, or creative automation tools.
Responsibilities
- Design user experiences across Spotify’s self-serve advertising platform (Ads Manager), contributing to features like ad creation, targeting, reporting, optimization, and measurement.
- Help define and scale a robust design system used across Ads Manager and internal tools, with an emphasis on component reusability, accessibility, and performance.
- Work closely with engineers to map backend systems, APIs, and ML-powered features to front-end interfaces that are intuitive and performant.
- Collaborate with PMs, engineers, data scientists, researchers, and content designers to shape strategy, prioritize user value, and ship high-impact work.
- Build prototypes to explore technical constraints, validate interaction models, and communicate product behavior—especially in dynamic or data-driven environments.
- Lead or support design efforts on internal tools used by operational teams, helping reduce manual processes and improve the efficiency and trustworthiness of internal workflows.
- Identify design gaps, inconsistencies, or missed system opportunities, and advocate for a more unified and scalable user experience.
Other
- This is a hybrid role that combines design systems thinking with hands-on product design across Spotify’s advertiser-facing tools.
- If you enjoy solving complex problems with cross-functional partners and are confident navigating technical domains like AI, automation, and experimentation, we’d love to meet you.
- Contribute to a feedback-rich team culture that encourages critique, iteration, and craft excellence.
- You thrive in fast-moving, collaborative environments, and can prioritize effectively when contributing across multiple domains.
- You’re excited to grow your influence by mentoring others informally, shaping design standards, and helping teammates connect technical dots.
