Company mission
To build a revolutionary creative platform powered by the world's best music model to bring the joy of musical expression to everyone, everywhere.
Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience in People Operations, HR, or a related generalist role, ideally in a fast-growing tech company
- Strong analytical skills and deep hands-on experience managing HRIS and people systems (e.g., Rippling, ADP, BambooHR, Workday, or similar), including migrations and data integrity
- Experience leveraging AI tools and building automated workflows to improve operational efficiency on the People team
- Deep working knowledge of US employment compliance, including record-keeping, I-9 requirements, and state/federal regulations
- Exceptional organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail; you manage many concurrent workstreams without losing the thread
- High comfort with ambiguity and troubleshooting; you can navigate shifting priorities and figure things out when there’s no playbook
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to build trust across teams and work cross-functionally with ease
- Hands-on experience with payroll processing and the ability to partner effectively with Finance and the team or vendor running it; full ownership of payroll is not required, but fluency in how it works is
- Experience managing immigration processes, including coordinating with external counsel, tracking case statuses, and managing documentation for visa and work authorization needs
- Experience administering leave management programs, including medical, parental, and other statutory leaves, with working knowledge of applicable federal and state leave laws
- A track record of operating autonomously and influencing without authority — you’ve owned an operational domain end to end and driven change across teams without direct reports
What the job involves
- Suno is building the future of music creation, and our People team is at the heart of how we grow, support, and develop our team
- We’re looking for a People Operations Manager to join us as a key individual contributor on the People team, reporting directly to the Director of People Rewards, Operations & Systems
- This role is the operational backbone of our People function, owning the full employee lifecycle, managing our HRIS and people data infrastructure, and driving the systems and workflow improvements that keep Suno running smoothly at scale
- If you love building clean processes, thrive on figuring out how to make things work better, and want to do it all at one of the most exciting companies in AI, this is the role for you
- Own the full employee lifecycle end to end — onboarding, job and compensation changes, leave administration, and offboarding — setting the standards and documentation the rest of the company follows. Serve as a key operational partner to Talent, IT, and Office Management
- Own and evolve Suno’s HRIS, leading system migrations, maintaining accurate employee records, and ensuring ongoing compliance with documentation requirements
- Build and maintain employee-facing information and resource pages, keeping content current and easy to navigate as the company grows
- Partner closely with Finance and People leadership on payroll, owning the People-side inputs — new hires, job and pay changes, terminations, and deductions — and reconciling them each cycle for timely, accurate execution
- Own immigration case management for employees, coordinating with external counsel and internal stakeholders from initiation through approval
- Identify and drive system and workflow efficiencies across People Operations by proactively finding opportunities to automate, streamline, and scale processes through AI and modern tooling
- Lead People programs and cross-functional projects end to end, from engagement initiatives to policy updates and beyond, improving the overall employee experience
- Serve as the owner of headcount and org data, partnering with Talent, Finance, and leadership to keep workforce information accurate and decision-ready as talent plans evolve
- Act as the subject-matter expert and escalation point for People Operations across the company, raising the bar on how the team operates and mentoring teammates as the function grows
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.
Whether the vision sits comfortably with the wider music community is another matter. For many, AI-generated music still raises ethical questions around ownership and the value of human artistry. But with investors continuing to back Suno with hundreds of millions of dollars, it's clear they believe AI music is here to stay.
