The role

A Learning & Development Manager at Spotify owns SCORM end to end, answers for it, and gets the credit too, all from Boulder, CO. This freelance opening offers $115,000 - $186,000, the autonomy to run your own projects, and a team invested in your development.

Key Responsibilities

  • Defend the xAPI fundamentals when speed tempts everyone to skip them
  • Sense when a Boulder relationship needs a call, not an email
  • Partner with peers to troubleshoot issues and share practical knowledge
  • Write the Synchronous Learning runbook the next hire wishes they had
  • Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
  • Anticipate the CO compliance wrinkle before it becomes a fire
  • Map the handoffs between CO teams so nothing falls in the cracks
  • Keep the CO engine running while you rebuild parts of it

What You'll Bring

  • The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
  • Real curiosity about why Spotify customers do what they do
  • Hands-on experience with modern SCORM workflows and tooling

Spotify is a low-drama engineering shop in Boulder, CO where Public Speaking and Active Listening are treated as the same discipline. Our team in CO keeps a running list of what we'd do differently, and we actually act on it.

We reward your SCORM with $115,000 - $186,000, surround it with mentorship and benefits, and let your schedule flex around Boulder.

As of right now, Spotify is still reading every resume that lands here.

If this sharp-but-gentle role reads like your wishlist, do yourself a favor and apply.
