This team focuses on shaping Spotify’s global pricing, packaging, and monetization strategy, with a growing emphasis on identifying, incubating, and scaling new subscription and revenue opportunities.


In this role, you will play a key part in defining the future of Spotify’s Premium and emerging monetization businesses. You’ll lead complex strategic analyses, build end-to-end financial business cases for new offerings, and partner closely with senior stakeholders across Content, Product, Finance, Research, and Data. This is a high-impact role with visibility at the executive level and meaningful influence on Spotify’s long-term growth strategy.

What You'll Do
  • Lead the development of data-driven, scenario-based financial models to assess the impact of new business ideas and packaging strategies
  • Own strategic business cases for new monetization initiatives, from early concept through leadership recommendation and execution
  • Identify whitespace opportunities by combining consumer insights, market trends, and competitive dynamics to inform new offerings
  • Partner with Content, Product, Consumer Research, Data Science, and Finance to translate insights into clear, actionable strategies
  • Synthesize complex analyses into compelling narratives and author executive-ready presentations and briefing materials
  • Guide and review analytical work across projects, raising the bar on rigor, clarity, and strategic thinking
  • Support long-term monetization roadmaps by evaluating risks, tradeoffs, and growth opportunities across Spotify’s portfolio


Who You Are
  • You bring deep experience in strategy, corporate development, or financial analysis, ideally in consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth technology environment
  • You have a strong track record of managing high performing teams 
  • 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
  • You have experience working with large datasets; familiarity with SQL or BigQuery is a plus
  • You hold a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field that demonstrates strategic and analytical thinking


Where You'll Be
  • This role is based in New York.
  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
