About the role

Spotify seeks an experienced Senior Legal Counsel with deep expertise in music publishing and copyright licensing to join our Legal Licensing Team in Los Angeles. You will partner with Finance, Product and Business Affairs to structure, negotiate, and draft licensing agreements with CMOs, PROs and publishers. You will advise on compliance, new features and commercial ventures within evolving rights frameworks, delivering pragmatic guidance to stakeholders across the business.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
