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

If you've spent your career building financial rigor at high-growth companies and want a seat at the table where AI and creative entertainment intersect — this is it. As Director of Strategic Finance, you'll report to our VP of Finance and own the full arc of strategic finance at Suno: long-range planning, investor storytelling, corporate development, and the cross-functional decision support that helps a fast-moving company make smarter bets. You'll be a trusted advisor, a force multiplier across the business, and a direct contributor to the financial strategy that shapes what Suno becomes. This role is based in New York City.
