Temporary Spotify Customer Service Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Spotify is looking for a Manager to join our Finance team and serve as a dedicated FP&A partner for our global Payments and Customer Service functions.

• Service Automation & Deflection Economics Quantify the financial impact of self-service, automation, and AI-driven deflection on contact volume and cost-to-serve, and build the business cases that balance efficiency against customer experience.
