Data Scientist

Who you are

• Curious about how organisations work — not just the data, but the decisions and systems behind it
• 5+ years of experience with a quantitative background in science, economics, engineering, or a related field
• Strong interpersonal skills and comfortable working with multiple stakeholders across levels and functions
• Able to take messy, complex datasets and turn them into clear recommendations and stories that land with non-technical audiences
• Proficient in SQL and Python, comfortable in BigQuery, and experienced with tools like dbt, Tableau, or Looker
• Experience with operational or work management data is a plus

What the job involves

• As a Data Scientist on CPE, you'll sit at the intersection of data, strategy, and operations.
• You'll bring clarity to complex questions by turning operational and strategic information into clear stories, recommendations, and decision frameworks that help leaders and teams act faster and smarter.
• You'll also explore how AI and automation can change the way people access insights and make decisions
• You'll work closely with data scientists, engineers, PMs, and business partners across the company to help refine how Spotify executes at scale.
• If you like making sense of ambiguity, care about how organisations work, and want your analysis to shape real decisions, this is the role
• Formulate hypotheses related to how Spotify plans and delivers, and communicate insights effectively to a range of audiences
• Apply analytical techniques — including statistical models and machine learning — to identify trends and generate insights that improve how we work
• Build and maintain the data models, pipelines, and dashboards that provide visibility into how Spotify plans and executes
• Develop structured narratives and recommendations — not just charts, but the "why" and "so what" — in our semi-annual Planning and Execution Insight reports and recurring briefings
• Explore how AI and automation can make insights faster to produce and easier to access across the company
