In short

Spotify is hiring a Data Scientist to work at the intersection of data, strategy, and operations. You will use analytical techniques, including machine learning, to generate insights and build data models that improve how the company plans and executes at scale. This hybrid role offers flexibility and is based in London or Stockholm.

Responsibilities

  • Formulate hypotheses related to how Spotify plans and delivers, and communicate insights effectively to a range of audiences.
  • Apply analytical techniques — including statistical models and machine learning — to identify trends and generate insights that improve how we work.
  • Build and maintain the data models, pipelines, and dashboards that provide visibility into how Spotify plans and executes.
  • Develop structured narratives and recommendations — not just charts, but the "why" and "so what" — in our semi-annual Planning and Execution Insight reports and recurring briefings.
  • Explore how AI and automation can make insights faster to produce and easier to access across the company.

Requirements

  • Curious about how organisations work — not just the data, but the decisions and systems behind it.
  • 5+ years of experience with a quantitative background in science, economics, engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and comfortable working with multiple stakeholders across levels and functions.
  • Able to take messy, complex datasets and turn them into clear recommendations and stories that land with non-technical audiences.
  • Proficient in SQL and Python, comfortable in BigQuery, and experienced with tools like dbt, Tableau, or Looker.
  • Experience with operational or work management data is a plus.

Benefits

  • Extensive learning opportunities, through our dedicated team, GreenHouse.
  • Flexible share incentives letting you choose how you share in our success.
  • Global parental leave, six months off - for all new parents.
  • All The Feels, our employee assistance program and self-care hub.
  • Flexible public holidays, swap days off according to your values and beliefs.
