Job description

About Suno

We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfillment 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).

Founded in 2023 by Harvard alumni with a shared passion for music, Suno has quickly grown to 250 employees while empowering more than 100 million people to create original songs. In 2026, we raised a $400 million Series D at a $5.4 billion valuation to continue building innovative products that amplify creativity and imagination.

About the Role

Suno believes that Music is a Human Right, a vehicle for community, connection, healing, and learning. The Sr. Manager, Social Impact & Education ensures that Suno lives up to our belief.

This is a new role, an opportunity to define, build, and lead Suno's presence in two critically important spaces: the nonprofit and social impact community, and the educational institutions and platforms that are shaping how the next generation engages with music and technology. You will create the frameworks, forge the partnerships, and establish the practices that allow Suno to make a meaningful and lasting impact beyond the commercial platform.

You are a mission-driven operator: someone who knows how to translate big-picture vision into concrete programs, build trust with organizations that have high standards for the partners they choose, and move with the urgency and creativity that a fast-growing technology company demands. You believe that access to creative tools is a form of equity, and you want to spend your career proving it. This role initially reports to the Chief Music Officer.
