What the job involves
- Spotify’s Internal Audit & Risk (IAR) team is seeking a Senior Analyst with a technological or engineering or product management background to help implement our audit strategy across the product lifecycle within our agile, international environment

- Advance Audit Procedures: Design and implement technical audit procedures using scripting (e.g., Python, SQL) and data analytics to drive continuous testing and automation
- Support SOX Compliance: Lead the testing of technology components within the SOX framework, including planning, implementing walkthroughs, reporting, and driving continuous improvements such as control rationalization
- Collaborate with Partners: Coordinate with co-sourced providers, external auditors, and internal process owners to ensure the timely and effective execution of the SOX testing program
- Implement Advisory Projects: Participate in complex assurance and advisory projects, covering risk assessment, testing, and reporting across various technical domains

Our take
Spotify was founded in an attempt to combat the rampant music piracy that was causing significant harm to the industry. The company has since taken music streaming mainstream and now has 180m+ paying subscribers across the world.
With features that include a highly accessible interface and a vast catalogue of artists, Spotify's strong brand has been able to maintain growth in spite of fierce competition from deep-pocketed rivals like Amazon and Apple. The company has achieved this by making smart acquisitions to move into other verticals to strengthen its offerings, especially podcasting, by acquiring Gimlet Media, Anchor and Parcast.
Spotify's future plans include rapid growth with a goal to become a one-stop destination for all digital sound, as well as AI and NFT integrations. However, high costs incurred from the acquisition of exclusive podcasts, increasing competitor strength, and weak bottom-line growth mean that the company must find a balance to maintain its position in the sector.
