People Partner

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).

ABOUT THE ROLE

Suno’s People team is scaling to match the company, and we’re looking for a People Partner to be the trusted talent partner for an assigned client group. Reporting to the Director, People Business Partners, you’ll own end-to-end People support for your group: performance cycles, employee relations, coaching managers, and translating company-wide programs into action for your teams. This is a role for someone who wants full ownership of a client group and the trust to run it well: using data, judgment, and influence to help leaders build high-performing, inclusive teams.
