About Suno

We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfilment of making music. Music is for everyone: Our users include everyone from grandmothers creating songs for their loved ones, to Grammy winners using Suno Studio, our power tool, to make the most popular hits in the world.

Building the future of entertainment requires ambition. The pace is fast, the problems are hard, and the work demands ownership and intensity. For the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding: a chance to shape a new medium, work with a small team that cares deeply about quality, make music, drink too much coffee, and build something that millions of people use to express themselves in ways that were never before possible.

Suno is the fastest growing consumer entertainment company and the leader in AI music. We are backed by leading investors including Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).

About the Role

  • Lead strategy projects including business model evaluation, deal modeling, and scenario planning that directly inform leadership decisions

  • Analyze unit economics and key performance metrics to guide growth strategy, pricing, and resource allocation across the business

  • Serve as a strategic thought partner to the VP of Finance and broader leadership team, and represent finance in cross-functional forums

  • Shape how Suno builds toward a future where creative fulfillment is a daily reality for everyone — contributing the financial foundation that makes that mission possible

What You'll Need

Must-Haves

  • 10+ years of experience across investment banking, consulting, private equity, or strategic finance at a high-growth technology or consumer company

  • 3+ years in a leadership or management capacity, with a demonstrated track record of building and developing high-performing teams

  • Proven, habitual use of AI tools in day-to-day finance workflows — modeling, research, analysis, reporting — with the curiosity to keep pushing what's possible

  • Strong understanding of consumer subscription and/or AI/SaaS business models and their key value drivers

  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and storytelling skills — you can translate complex financial concepts for any audience, from the board to a cross-functional team

  • A bias toward action and a track record of driving outcomes in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

  • Familiarity with financial and data platforms such as Stripe, RevenueCat, Ramp, and ERPs
