Product Designer - Advertising

Spotify is a leading audio streaming service, and they are seeking a mid-level product designer to join their Advertising R&D team. The role involves owning design quality across features in Spotify's advertiser-facing tools and solving complex problems in a dynamic, AI-powered environment.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• Experience designing complex, data-intensive B2B digital products
• 3+ years of experience, though depth and quality of work are valued over years alone
• Ownership of design quality across your squad and effective management of priorities when working across multiple features or workstreams
• Strong visual design foundation and attention to details that elevate work from functional to excellent
• Ability to connect design decisions to business goals and customer needs, and advocate for those decisions clearly with stakeholders
• Curiosity about AI, whether using AI tools in design workflow, designing AI-powered features, or both
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to bring structure and curiosity to problems without a clear path forward
• Active seeking of feedback on work and thinking, and providing thoughtful critique in return
• Fostering inclusive collaboration by proactively bringing others in and holding space for different perspectives
• Experience designing advertising, monetization, or creative automation tools
• Background in operational tooling or designing for internal users with complex, high-volume workflows
• Experience contributing to or maintaining large-scale design systems
