Associate Program Manager - Podcasts

We're looking for a Program Manager I to drive large-scale, cross-functional programs across Spotify’s Podcasts business. 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

• Help set up and run execution frameworks for large, cross-functional programs, including planning cadences, documentation, and communication rhythms
• Partner with engineering, product, design, and marketing to define roadmaps and map dependencies across teams
• Support day-to-day program operations, keeping workstreams aligned and moving forward
• Share clear updates on program progress, risks, and priorities with stakeholders and senior leaders
• Help drive alignment and decision-making across teams, even when priorities differ
• Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies early, and work with teams to resolve them
• Contribute to planning cycles, goal-setting, and team-wide processes
• Support continuous improvement by capturing learnings and helping teams apply them
• Foster a collaborative, inclusive environment where teams can do their best work
  

Who You Are

• You have experience supporting or running cross-functional programs in a product or technology environment
• You are comfortable working with software development teams and collaborating with partners across functions like design, legal, or marketing
• You communicate clearly and can turn complex ideas into simple, easy-to-understand messages
• You build strong relationships and work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders
• You stay organized and focused while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• You approach challenges with curiosity and a problem-solving mindset
• You use good judgment to decide when to escalate, when to collaborate, and when to take action
• You follow through on commitments and care about delivering high-quality work
• You are open to feedback and motivated to keep learning and growing
  

Where You'll Be

• This role is based in New York City
