Regulatory Operations Specialist

At Spotify, our mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the chance to enjoy and be inspired by it. Legal Affairs sits at the heart of this mission, ensuring that Spotify meets its obligations under an evolving global regulatory landscape while championing user safety, transparency, and trust.

Spotify's Consumer, Competition, Markets & Regulatory (CCMR) team within Legal Affairs leads the company's global approach to digital‑platform regulation. We interpret, implement, and operationalize laws such as the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), EU Digital Services Act (DSA), the UK Online Safety Act (UK OSA), the Australian Online Safety Act (AUS OSA), and similar frameworks worldwide. Working closely with Legal stakeholders, Trust & Safety, Public Policy, Product, Design, and Engineering, we design compliance programs that protect users and support Spotify's strategic goals.

You'll be part of the team that translates global regulation into Spotify's next‑generation compliance strategy—balancing innovation, user trust, and responsible growth. If you thrive at the intersection of law, technology, and program design, and want to shape how Spotify meets the world's evolving regulatory expectations, we'd love to hear from you.
