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 Bond Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, IVP, Forerunner, Union Square Ventures, Alkeon, Quiet, Matrix Partners, Schroders Capital and, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).

About the Role

Suno's spend is growing fast across vendors, production and creative teams, and a quickly expanding workforce and we need someone to build the accounts payable and T&E function that keeps up with it. As one of the first hires on the accounting team and reporting to the Director of Accounting, you'll own AP and T&E end to end: the systems, the policies, the controls, and the day-to-day operations. You'll tailor processes to the real needs of different teams, our production and creative groups don't operate like everyone else, while keeping the rigor and scalability a growing company depends on, and you'll bring a measured, meaningful approach to AI that unlocks the efficiency a best-in-class operation should have. This is a build-and-operate role for someone who wants to stand up a function the right way and grow into leading it.
