Why this template works

Band system
career framework

Spotify uses a band system rather than numbered levels. Movement between bands reflects increasing scope, autonomy, and impact. The Band 2 to 3 (Senior) transition requires consistently owning complex problems end-to-end.

2 cycles/yr
talent reviews

Spotify runs talent reviews twice a year. Your manager and leadership assess your growth against band expectations. Promotion cases are built over time through continuous development conversations, not a single annual snapshot.

Autonomy
squad culture

Spotify's squad model values autonomy, alignment, and cross-functional collaboration. Promotion cases should show how you drove outcomes within your squad while influencing beyond it - through alignment, not control.
