Lead performance marketing creative strategy for an AI music platform, utilizing data science and insights to drive growth.
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).

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 RoleSuno is changing who gets to make music, and this role helps bring that to millions of new people. As Creative Strategy Lead, you'll own the creative strategy behind our performance marketing: which audiences we reach, what resonates with each, and how every ad makes us smarter. You'll lead a team of creative specialists, work hand-in-hand with paid media, data science, and production, and build the playbook for how we grow, with full autonomy to shape it.
