This is a pivotal moment for Spotify Advertising. As we scale globally and evolve into a performance-focused, AI-powered platform, design plays a central role in simplifying complex systems, building trust with advertisers, and driving scalable product growth. Our long-term vision is an intuitive platform embedded in advertiser workflows, powered by automation, measurement, and operational excellence.
What You'll Do
- Design end-to-end user experiences across Spotify's self-serve advertising platform (Ads Manager), contributing to features like ad creation, targeting, reporting, optimization, and measurement.
- Work within and contribute to a shared design system used across Ads Manager and internal tools, with attention to component reusability, accessibility, and visual consistency.
- Collaborate with engineers to translate backend systems, APIs, and ML-powered features into interfaces that are intuitive and performant.
- Partner with PMs, engineers, data scientists, researchers, and content designers to shape product direction, advocate for user needs, and help influence your team's roadmap.
- Build prototypes using real data and motion where relevant to explore technical constraints, validate interaction models, and communicate product behavior in dynamic, data-driven environments.
- Work alongside researchers and data scientists to identify the right questions to answer, and use insights to deepen your team's understanding of user problems.
- Support design efforts on internal tools used by operational teams, helping reduce manual processes and improve the efficiency and reliability of internal workflows.
- Contribute to a feedback-rich team culture that values critique, iteration, and craft excellence.
Who You Are
- You have experience designing complex, data-intensive B2B digital products. We typically look for around 3+ years of experience, though we value the depth and quality of your work over years alone.
- You take ownership of design quality across your squad and can manage priorities effectively when working across multiple features or workstreams.
- You have a strong visual design foundation and care about the details that elevate work from functional to excellent.
- You connect design decisions to business goals and customer needs, and can advocate for those decisions clearly with stakeholders.
- You're curious about AI, whether that's using AI tools in your design workflow, designing AI-powered features, or both.
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and bring structure and curiosity to problems where there isn't always a clear path forward.
- You actively seek feedback on your work and thinking, and give thoughtful critique in return.
- You foster inclusive collaboration: you proactively bring others in and hold space for different perspectives.
- Nice to have: Experience designing advertising, monetization, or creative automation tools.
- Nice to have: Background in operational tooling or designing for internal users with complex, high-volume workflows.
- Nice to have: Experience contributing to or maintaining large-scale design systems.
Where You'll Be
- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! For this role, it can be within the North America region in which we have a work location.
- This team collaborates across the Eastern time zone
