What You'll Do

Lead, manage, and develop a team of Financial Systems Analysts, fostering a high-performance culture focused on service excellence, quality, impact, and growth.

Own the operational health of Spotify's financial and legal SaaS suite, including NetSuite, Coupa, Concur, Blackline, and Graphite Connect, ensuring consistent, reliable support for our stakeholders.

Manage and continuously improve the team's operations and impact — overseeing Jira queue management, triage frameworks, SLA performance, and escalation pathways.

Define and track team KPIs and operational metrics, using data to drive resourcing decisions, prioritisation, and ongoing process improvements.

Partner with Finance, Procurement, Accounting, Audit, Legal, and Engineering stakeholders to understand evolving system and regulatory requirements and translate them into operational plans.

Drive a culture of continuous improvement — identifying opportunities for process optimisation, automation, and self-service to scale our systems as Spotify grows. Including leveraging opportunities to automate processes using the latest automation / AI tooling. And manage using an impact-first approach to sharpen the team’s focus and connect the team's work to work that aligns with company priorities, valuing outcomes over activity.

You have demonstrated the ability to build and maintain effective cross-functional relationships with both technical partners and senior business stakeholders.

You are comfortable with ambiguity and can translate high-level goals into practical team priorities and delivery plans.

You communicate with clarity and transparency — your team, stakeholders, and peers always know where things stand.
