At Spotify, we’re building a workplace where people can do their best work, wherever they are in the world. The Global Workplace Services team focuses on supporting our rapidly growing business by creating environments, services, and programs that help Spotify thrive. As part of our broader Business Protection function, you'll play a critical role in protecting our people and enabling our leaders to operate confidently around the globe.

We're looking for an Executive Protection Specialist to join our team in Stockholm. This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys international travel, and is passionate about protecting people through thoughtful planning, operational excellence, and strong judgment. You'll become a trusted partner to Spotify’s leadership team, helping ensure their safety and security wherever business takes them.

### What You'll Do
  • Protect Spotify’s senior leaders during daily activities, events, domestic and international travel.
  • Plan and execute executive protection operations in partnership with Executive Assistants, business stakeholders, and external partners.
  • Conduct ongoing risk assessments, threat analysis, and security planning to support informed decision-making.
  • Coordinate and implement protective measures across a variety of environments and locations.
  • Support broader Business Protection operations and initiatives globally when required.
  • Manage and maintain personnel and technical security solutions in Sweden and internationally.
  • Contribute to strategic and operational projects across the Executive Protection program.
  • Build trusted relationships with internal and external partners while maintaining professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality.
  • ### Who You Are
  • You have operational experience in executive protection, close protection, law enforcement, military, security services, or a related field.
  • You know how to assess risk, adapt quickly, and make sound decisions in dynamic environments.
  • You are experienced with planning and executing security operations for travel, events, and high-profile individuals.
  • You have a deep understanding of personal security principles, threat management, and protective operations.
  • You are comfortable working discreetly and adapting your approach based on the situation rather than relying on a fixed style.
  • You communicate clearly and confidently in English and are comfortable working across cultures and international environments.
  • You have experience using security-related technology, communications tools, and operational systems.
  • You care about building trust, maintaining confidentiality, and providing exceptional service to those you support.
  • You have a flexible approach to work and are comfortable with frequent international travel and changing priorities.
  • ### Where You'll Be
  • This role is based in Stockholm, Sweden and will require travel. 
  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
  • Spotify is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Spotify for who you are, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or what’s playing in your headphones. Our platform is for everyone, and so is our workplace. The more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background. It’s in our differences that we will find the power to keep revolutionizing the way the world listens.

    At Spotify, we are passionate about inclusivity and making sure our entire recruitment process is accessible to everyone. We have ways to request reasonable accommodations during the interview process and help assist in what you need. If you need accommodations at any stage of the application or interview process, please let us know - we’re here to support you in any way we can.
