Obama seems to like Sweden–particularly its music technology. While hosting former ambassadors at the White House, he jokingly said that he is still waiting for his job at Spotify, “Cuz’ I know y’all loved my playlist.”

Obama has made temporary playlists for Spotify a few times; most recently he created one for the gym in October. And now it seems like the Swedish music streaming service has a customized job ad up, with the job title listed as “President of Playlists.” CEO Daniel Ek tweeted:

Hey @BarackObama, I heard you were interested in a role at Spotify. Have you seen this one? https://t.co/iragpCowpO

The job responsibilities include providing world-class leadership, creating playlists such as the perfect list for “addressing the nation about health care legislation that bears your name,” attending daily briefings, and celebrating the diversity of Spotify playlists. The job description adds that the right person needs to be one of the greatest speakers of all time. We think Obama would be the perfect guy for the job!
