Remember when Barack Obama recently joked that he was hoping for a job at Spotify? Well, as it seems, Spotify listened.
To return the joke (and because this is a wonderful marketing gimmick), the streaming giant posted on its careers page a vacancy for “President of Playlists!”
Even though the posting does not specifically name Barack Obama, the job description says that applicants should have “at least eight years’ experience running a highly-regarded nation”, “a friendly and warm attitude”, and of course, a “Nobel Peace Prize”. I mean, every President of Playlists should have won a Nobel Peace Prize, right? Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek gave @BarackObama a heads-up on Twitter with a link to the affectionate ad: (the article continues after the ad)
Hey @BarackObama, I heard you were interested in a role at Spotify. Have you seen this one? https://t.co/iragpCowpO

The advert also takes a swipe at Donald Trump, saying the President of Playlists must “analyze data and performance of playlists… using all available intelligence”.
Update: Joke’s over. The vacancy was removed from Spotify’s careers page.
