- Use the team’s internal AI tooling to configure contracts in Spotify’s royalty systems and test financial outputs for accuracy before sign-off from Commercial Accounting.
- Lead data analyses to answer royalty questions from internal teams such as Legal & Licensing and Finance, and from external partners such as rightsholders and back offices.
