About the role

  • Spotify’s Legal team is growing. We’re facing innovative challenges that mirror the ground-breaking industry and product at the heart of our company. As we’ve expanded into more than 184 countries and our company has grown tremendously, we find ourselves facing new and interesting legal issues every day.
  • As Legal Counsel, Platform Liability & Enforcement at Spotify, you will help supervise Spotify’s legal takedown practices and policies and you will provide legal support for the teams that develop, implement, and support Spotify’s content policies. You will also work directly to resolve claims related to these policies and help build out processes for scale. Your experience making risk-based assessments and proactively finding solutions to complex problems will be crucial.
