Head of Experiential & Content Production
Full-time
Mid Level
Creative Director
📋
Description
- Spotify is seeking an accomplished Global Experiential & Content Producer to lead a global team responsible for delivering creative high-impact live experiences and content productions across the company. This is a senior creative and production role guiding both the experiential work and content creation, two distinct but interconnected disciplines.
- While this role sits within Global Communications, the impact is company-wide. You will support multiple functions across the business including Communications, Ads, Government Affairs, Product, Music, Creator, Podcast and Audiobooks teams—to bring their initiatives to life through strategic events and content.
- Importantly: this team works alongside Spotify’s Brand Experiential Marketing team. That team owns global consumer and brand marketing events. Your team will own a defined set of experiential programs tied to communications priorities, creator/industry relationships, policy moments, company events, VIP/Influencer programming, thought leadership platforms, and other business-driven needs - not all events across Spotify.
- You will ensure these experiences and content productions are executed at a world-class level, aligned to business objectives, and grounded in a strong creative vision.
- What You'll Do
- Lead the Global Experiential & Content Production Team:
- Lead, mentor, and develop a global team of producers across experience production and content production.
- Champion the creative vision and approach to experiential executions and content narratives, ensuring the team stays inspired, informed by cultural and industry trends, and consistently pushes toward best-in-class expressions of the Spotify brand through distinctive, memorable experiences.
- Define team priorities based on the areas of the business your team supports—distinct from consumer marketing events.
- Establish scalable processes, standards, and workflows tailored to the types of events and content your team produces.
- Serve as the senior production authority for high-stakes, business-driven experiential and content outputs.
- Experiential Production (for specific business + communications needs):
- Produce select live experiences such as corporate programs, industry moments, creator/partner events, policy engagements, internal events, performances, installations, and VIP experiences.
- Ensure alignment with the business goals of the cross-functional teams your work supports.
- Translate non-marketing objectives—such as thought leadership, creator relations, policy influence, partner engagement, internal culture, or strategic communications—into impactful live experiences.
- Manage regional permitting, labor rules, and venue operations across global markets.
- Have, continue to grow and maintain a global roster of best-in-class experiential production partners.
- Content Production:
- Oversee content tied to strategic initiatives and events, including sizzles, recaps, branded content, creator-facing materials, editorial assets, and other visual storytelling formats.
- Guide creative direction in collaboration with internal creative teams and external studios/vendors.
- Manage event and content budgets, timelines, approvals, and multi-stakeholder routing.
- Creative Leadership & Innovation:
- Bring a strong creative POV, pushing work forward while elevating both experiential and content outputs.
- Introduce new production formats, technologies, and methodologies that improve quality, efficiency, or innovation.
- Convert digital-first ideas into memorable physical experiences and content that reflects Spotify’s culture and vision.
- Operational & Production Excellence:
- Manage budgets across experiential and content programs, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
- Provide clear direction to the GECP team, production partners and internal collaborators.
- Own quality control for the team’s outputs and set a high bar for excellence.
- Ensure cross-functional partners understand process, expectations, and timelines, while remaining flexible and solution oriented.
- Who You Are
- 15+ years of experience in both live event production and content production within entertainment, media, music, or similar fields.
- Experienced in producing events large and small in a way that supports business, creator, and communications goals.
- A strong, respected, hands on creative leader who can guide, mentor, and up-level a global team.
- Able to collaborate with C-suite leaders, senior executives, and high-profile talent.
- Deep knowledge of global event production, permitting, labor rules, staging, lighting, and technical operations.
- Skilled at balancing multiple productions simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
- Operationally excellent, financially disciplined, and creatively driven.
- A global operator who thrives across time zones, regions, and cultures.
- Comfortable traveling extensively (up to 70%).
- Portfolio and references may be required.
- Where You'll Be
- This role can be based in NYC, Los Angeles, or London.
- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
- Salary Range in US: $203,113 - $290,162 plus equity.
- Benefits include health insurance, six month paid parental leave, 401(k) retirement plan, 23 paid days off, 13 paid flexible holidays.
