The Subscriptions R&D team oversees the entire user journey on Spotify and ensures we engage with people in innovative ways, every step of the way. Our team grows Spotify’s audience by finding future listeners around the world and delivering the right value to them, at the right time. With research, product development, product design, engineering, and marketing all collaborating in one organization, we’re able to quickly create meaningful features and services for millions of people around the world, resulting in joyful, long-lasting relationships with Spotify.
We are a team working on defining the premium and free value propositions. We own a system to define the product features that all our free, mid-tier and premium products have. We are the central source of truth for all existing and new premium products and own datasets and APls that teams around us can use. We are working on new systems to control pricing and discount availability for our premium products. Besides this we also own a system for capping features (e.g. audiobook consumption, on-demand playback, and more).
We are a new team and we have a good mix of investigation and implementation work and a lot of opportunities to lead initiatives of all sorts of sizes and complexity. We are very fast-paced and have a culture of helping teams that we work with with what they need.
