• Build impactful artist partnerships and lead creative, cross-functional initiatives that strengthen artist-to-fan engagement both on and off Spotify
• Identify emerging artists, music trends, audience behaviors, and cultural movements across the Maghreb, bringing actionable insights to the MENAT+ team, global counterparts, and partners across Editorial, Artist Marketing, Consumer Marketing, Licensing, and other teams
• Support and educate artists, labels, and their teams on Spotify tools, resources, and insights, helping partners get more value from the platform
• Work closely with regional Editorial teams and Genre Groups on priority releases and content opportunities, while representing Artist & Label Partnerships in high-impact regional and global projects
• Connect Spotify teams with the music industry to identify and execute opportunities for Spotify and our partners, while helping ensure we have a compelling content offering across the Maghreb
• Travel regularly to Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia to build relationships and stay closely connected to the region’s music communities

• You’re a confident communicator and storyteller who can present to senior stakeholders, advocate for the market, negotiate effectively, and build alignment across different teams and perspectives
• You’re comfortable owning complex projects in a fast-changing environment, balancing strategic priorities with hands-on execution and bringing strong organization and attention to detail
