Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for a high-agency generalist who thrives in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and who loves both music and tech
- You should be analytical, creative, and operationally savvy. You should love a good brainstorming session, while thriving in a get-it-done-urgently environment
- 5+ years of experience in management consulting, business strategy, strategic/brand marketing, partnerships, or business development - ideally at a high-growth tech or music company
- Proven ability to bring 0→1 initiatives to life, including creating roadmaps, coordinating across teams, and measuring results
- Willingness to get scrappy: you might be planning a global creator strategy one day and coordinating an artist activation the next
- Experience in working closely with tech teams as well as creatives
- A proven ability to build and maintain high-value relationships
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and project management skills
- Strategic mindset with strong analytical instincts and attention to detail
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, startup environment with evolving priorities
- Collaborative spirit and eagerness to work cross-functionally
- Master’s degree preferred
What the job involves
- Suno is looking for a strategic, entrepreneurial, and analytical Music Program Manager to partner with our Chief Music Officer to lead high-impact initiatives that shape our business
- You will work in partnership with the Chief Music Officer, the Music and Marketing teams and beyond, with an evolving, fluid focus on music strategy, music creator development, marketing and campaign execution, industry and beyond partnerships, and artist and fan engagement programs
- This role is that of a special projects/project manager, helping with concept and execution of all areas of our music and music creator engagement strategy
- You will help Suno to scale through these programs
- This hybrid role blends internal strategy and execution oversight, with the external relationship-building and creative relationship-building and deal-making
- You’ll manage day-to-day priorities across the music org, helping to define, analyze, and refine programs, while unlocking high-impact partnerships that help define Suno’s role in the next era of music
- You’ll be deeply involved in everything from helping to share our overall music strategy, to evaluating and executing on new market opportunities
- Act as right-hand to the Chief Music Officer, as part thought-partner, project manager, part jack-of-all-trades, to ensure the broad and effective growth of our music strategy at Suno
- Fluency in both creative and analytical environments; able to speak “music” and “product” fluently
- Deep understanding or willingness to explore artist and fan communities, and how to support both sides of the ecosystem
- Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, marketing, data and leadership to align external opportunities with internal priorities
- Develop frameworks to measure partnership success and inform future investment decisions
- Identify, evaluate, negotiate, and manage key strategic partnerships that expand Suno’s reach and capabilities, with both for-profit and non-profit/educational organizations, including product integrations, co-marketing campaigns, and new monetization channels, within and beyond the music industry
- Conduct and present strategic analyses that guide company-level decisions (e.g. market expansion, partnerships, business models, enterprise)
Our take
Suno is a company leveraging AI for music creation, attempting to make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their musical background. The platform allows users to generate complete songs by inputting text prompts, breaking down the barriers that traditionally separate amateurs from professional musicians.
Unlike other AI music tools, Suno focuses on ease-of-use, enabling even those with no music theory knowledge to produce professional-sounding songs. This approach has already attracted a diverse user base, including everyday people and GRAMMY-winning artists.
Suno' rise has been fast and impressive, but it's now facing serious legal heat, including new lawsuits from independent artists. If it can defend its practices ad show respect for creators' rights, there's still a strong future ahead for the company.
