You'll play an important role in the development of Spotify's Audio First and Spotify Audiobook Selects programs, supporting acquisitions, licensing efforts, and publishing initiatives from concept through release.
There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.

Collaborate with cross-functional partners across content, product, legal, and business teams to align publishing initiatives with broader company goals.
Own the day-to-day execution of key content programs, driving timelines and ensuring smooth delivery from concept through release.
Support licensing deals from initial evaluation through execution, including materials preparation, deal tracking, and partner coordination.
Manage and maintain contract tracking systems to ensure accuracy and visibility across active licensing agreements.
Explore and leverage AI-powered tools to improve workflows, streamline operations, and create efficiencies across publishing activities.
In this role, you'll support content development, licensing, and editorial strategy across a growing portfolio of original and licensed content, helping bring compelling stories to listeners around the world.

You have 5+ years of experience in the book publishing industry, with deep knowledge of the U.S. commercial adult fiction and nonfiction market.
You have experience working directly with writers, authors, agents, and creators on content development initiatives.
You have a strong understanding of budgeting, content valuation, and P&L considerations within publishing, licensing, or content development.
You are comfortable operating at both strategic and executional levels, contributing ideas while driving operational excellence.

We're looking for someone who loves books, storytelling, and culture, and who brings strong editorial instincts, business judgment, and a passion for discovering content that resonates with audiences.
