When you think of commerce at Spotify, you might think of the millions of subscribers and their transactions from purchasing Premium subscriptions. But as we deliver on our mission to connect creators with fans and empower creators to live off of their art, we are diversifying revenue streams in many areas. From enabling fans to purchase merchandise from their favourite artists, to enabling podcasters to monetize ad space in their content - all of this will be powered by our commerce platform.

• Drive our experimentation roadmap in partnership with product development teams. Input into our experimentation tooling roadmap with requirements to help further our experimentation agenda.
