Product Designer - Advertising

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

• Experience designing complex, data-intensive B2B digital products (typically 3+ years, valuing depth and quality of work over years alone).
• Take ownership of design quality across your squad and can manage priorities effectively when working across multiple features or workstreams.
• Strong visual design foundation and care about the details that elevate work from functional to excellent.
• Connect design decisions to business goals and customer needs, and can advocate for those decisions clearly with stakeholders.
• Curious about AI, whether that's using AI tools in your design workflow, designing AI-powered features, or both.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and bring structure and curiosity to problems where there isn't always a clear path forward.
• Actively seek feedback on your work and thinking, and give thoughtful critique in return.
• Foster inclusive collaboration: proactively bring others in and hold space for different perspectives.

Nice to have

• 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.
