Job Description

The Music Mission team owns Spotify’s end to end proposition for music creators and the experiences they create for fans. The team is dedicated to building tools and services to enable creation, promotion, expression, and monetization at scale.

You’ll join Spotify’s Editorial team in India, where music, culture, and storytelling come together to shape how millions of listeners discover and connect with music every day. As part of a global network of editors, you’ll help define how international music and hip-hop show up for audiences in India—and how Indian hip-hop travels beyond borders.

What You'll Do

  • Spot and act on music trends, emerging artists, and cultural moments across international and hip-hop scenes
  • Curate and evolve playlists that connect with listeners, using thoughtful sequencing, strong storytelling, and clear editorial voice
  • Translate global music trends into locally relevant experiences for Indian audiences, while elevating Indian hip-hop to global listeners
  • Use data and audience insights to continuously improve playlist performance and listener engagement
  • Collaborate with global and regional editorial teams on programming strategies and campaigns
  • Partner with marketing, advertising, and product teams to bring cultural insights into broader Spotify initiatives
  • Contribute to artist discovery by identifying breakout talent and supporting their growth through editorial ecosystems
  • Create engaging editorial content beyond playlists, including written and multimedia storytelling

    • Who You Are

  • You have at least 6+ years of experience in music, media, or entertainment, with a strong understanding of digital platforms
  • You have deep knowledge of global music culture, especially hip-hop and international genres, and how they connect with audiences in India
  • You understand how listener behavior, culture, and trends intersect, and can translate that into meaningful editorial decisions
  • You’re comfortable working with data and using insights to guide your thinking and measure impact
  • You communicate clearly and confidently in English; additional Indian languages are a plus
  • You bring a strong point of view on music and culture, paired with curiosity and openness to new perspectives
  • You collaborate effectively across teams and are comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • You’re organized, adaptable, and bring a thoughtful, inclusive approach to your work

    • Where You'll Be

    • This role is based in Mumbai
    • 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.
