Director, Performance Creative

At Suno, we are building a future where anyone can make music. You can make a song for any moment with just a few short words. Award-winning artists use Suno, but our core user base consists of everyday people making music — often for the first time.

We are a team of musicians and AI experts, including alumni from Spotify, TikTok, Meta and Kensho. We like to ship code, make music and drink coffee. Our company culture celebrates music and experimenting with sound — from lunchroom conversations to the studio in our office.

We are looking for a Director of Performance Creative to build and run the creative engine that powers Suno’s global growth. This is a senior creative leader who can blend storytelling, systems thinking, and operational excellence to support accelerated growth across paid marketing channels.

You will architect the workflows, team structure, and creative testing systems that allow Suno to produce above 1,000 creatives per week across channels and countries. You think in terms of experimentation, iteration, and scalable processes. You know what great performance creative production looks like, and you also know how to build the machine that makes it possible at extreme volume and velocity, amplifying AI.

If you love leading creative teams, designing workflows that unlock speed and quality, and shaping how millions of people around the world discover Suno, this is a rare opportunity to build something category defining.
