description Job Description
We're looking for a Program Manager to drive large-scale, cross-functional programs across Spotify's Books Vertical. You'll work across engineering, product, design, content, legal, and marketing to keep complex initiatives moving — setting up execution frameworks, surfacing risks early, and making sure the right people have the right information at the right time. This is a high-visibility role for someone who brings operational rigor, strong relationships, and a bias for getting things done.
What You'll Do
• Set up and own execution frameworks for large, multi-workstream programs — including operating cadences, documentation, rituals, and communication structures
• Work closely with engineering, product, design, and marketing teams to define roadmaps and clearly map out cross-functional dependencies
• Drive day-to-day program operations, facilitating coordination and collaboration across a wide range of partners and stakeholders
• Communicate program health, risks, scope changes, and progress to all relevant parties through clear, consistent reporting to senior leadership
• Drive decision-making and alignment with senior leadership, influencing without formal authority
• Proactively identify blockers, risks, and critical path issues — and drive them to resolution before they impact timelines
• Be the energy — you’ll set the tone, keep things fun, and help cultivate an environment where people can do their best work
Who You Are
• You have solid experience running and representing large, cross-functional programs — ideally within an R&D or product-driven tech organization
• You've worked directly with software development teams, while also handling complex dependencies across legal, licensing, and UX.
• You're a great communicator who can bring clarity to the problem spaces you take on, and develop strong relationships and trust with partners and stakeholders.
• You have a proven track record of influencing and delivering without formal authority over the teams with whom you are working.
• You're comfortable balancing multiple concurrent projects in a fast-paced, and international environment.
• You have an eye for quality and a genuine curiosity for how things work — you bring thoughtfulness and enthusiasm to your programs, not just process.
• You have sharp judgment about when to escalate, when to absorb, and when to just solve it yourself
• Teams can count on you for operational rigor and follow-through
• You love getting feedback and have a strong growth mindset
