About
We are looking for a Data Scientist to join the Business Analytics team at Spotify. You will work with the APAC & SAMEA Growth Analytics Lead to evaluate and influence our growth strategy in these exciting and diverse regions. You will collaborate with a distributed team of world-class analysts, data scientists, business leaders, marketers, and engineers. Learning and improving is part of our daily routine, and you will have a platform to develop your data skills and find efficient ways of working.

The Business Analytics team is part of Spotify’s core business strategy organization. You will play a crucial role in the growth and direction of Spotify as we expand to over 625 million users worldwide. At your fingertips, you will have access to all of the data Spotify has to offer and the opportunity to be creative in deriving insights and strategies. Above all, your work will impact how the world experiences audio!

What You'll Do:

  • Develop data-driven strategies to drive the growth of Spotify users and subscribers.
  • Identify new user growth levers for multiple markets in South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa and use experimentation to help drive that growth.
  • Create and communicate impactful recommendations and models that improve our product offering, user messaging, and channel optimization.
  • Build scalable data pipelines and dashboards to facilitate business performance tracking.
  • Work closely with business partners to understand the changes they are driving and help them discover new opportunities for growth.
  • Design and implement comprehensive tests, ensuring that all relevant metrics are tracked and that continuous learning is prioritized.
  • Present findings to senior collaborators, influencing the course of our business.

Who You Are:

  • You have a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Statistics, or a similar field.
  • You possess a minimum of 1+ years of professional experience synthesizing insights from data using tools such as Python/R and SQL. Experience with distributed systems (Redshift, Hadoop, BigQuery) is a plus.
  • Intellectually curious, creative, and diligent; you enjoy thinking about the business as much as the data.
  • You have experience collaborating with partners to measure the impact of business/marketing initiatives and present those findings in coherent recommendations.
  • You have a background in Economics, Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, or a relevant field.
  • You are comfortable working on a globally distributed team, with occasional international travel.
  • Relevant experience in a consumer tech/product company is a plus.
