Senior Product Development Analyst
Spotify
We are looking for an outstanding Senior Product Development Analyst to guide Spotify’s product decisions by crunching large data sets, analyzing the results and gaining insight.
We collect and glean vast amounts of data on a daily basis to learn more about Spotify: our users, artist trends, advertisement effectiveness and much more. Our team's role is to make Spotify a better company through the use of data-driven decision making.
Responsibilities:
- Support the global product organization through analyzing our user patterns, trends, habits, etc.
- Solve complex business problems with a structured approach
- Reach valuable data- driven conclusions and recommendations
- Take ownership over specific areas of the product, i.e. social, search, startpage, etc.
- Work cross functionally with product owners, developers and designers
Requirements:
- Intellectual curiosity, logical thinking, and the ability to solve complex problems that may not always be well-defined
- Passion for numbers, statistics as well as strong business and financial acumen
- Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally
- 3-5 years of experience working with analysis in the digital space
- Experience in general service programming (Python, Java, etc.)
Experience with modeling in Excel - Undergraduate degree in a quantitative discipline is required (e.g. Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Economics, etc.)
Most of the Spotify analytics backend is written in Python, but previous experience with Python is not required. If you’re the one we’re looking for, you want to grow and learning new programming languages is something you are enticed by!
You should preferably have worked with large data sets before, the larger, the better. Experience with Hadoop and MapReduce is definitely something we value.
