Podcasting isn’t the only non-music content format that Spotify is looking to conquer. Per a new job listing this week, the streaming service is seeking a head of audio books to oversee its spoken-word content business. The role would report directly to Spotify’s head of new initiatives/partnerships, and the final candidate will oversee all audiobook-related endeavors, including licensing third-party audiobooks as well as developing original content for Spotify.
