Arbetsbeskrivning

Spotify’s Finance organization requires a senior Director-level leader based in Stockholm to lead critical business initiatives that demand daily, in-person collaboration with Stockholm-based teams and external partners. This role sits within the Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) function and reports directly to the Vice President of Finance.

The position requires a finance professional with substantial experience in both Financial Accounting and FP&A, as the core responsibilities involve integrating cash flow management, general ledger accounting, and financial forecasting across multiple functions. This combination of expertise is essential and cannot be substituted with a single-discipline background.

• Building analytical frameworks to identify risks and opportunities relative to the company’s financial forecast
• Establishing and chairing a senior steering committee comprised of the Vice President of Finance, Chief Accounting Officer, Head of Treasury, and Chief Financial Officer
• Partnering on a daily basis with the Treasury team, which is majority based in Stockholm, to execute on these objectives

Additional Finance Initiatives

As a senior individual contributor within FP&A, the employee will also take on additional strategic initiatives as assigned by the Vice President of Finance and CFO. These will involve cross-functional financial analysis, operational problem-solving, and stakeholder coordination within the Finance organization.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 10 years of professional experience in corporate finance, with significant experience in accounting, controllership, and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)

• Experience managing external vendor relationships and third-party operations
• Ability to operate independently with minimal supervision in a fast-paced, global organization
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to represent the organization in external-facing settings
