People Operations Manager

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).

Suno is building the future of music creation, and our People team is at the heart of how we grow, support, and develop our team. We’re looking for a People Operations Manager to join us as a key individual contributor on the People team, reporting directly to the Director of People Rewards, Operations & Systems. This role is the operational backbone of our People function, owning the full employee lifecycle, managing our HRIS and people data infrastructure, and driving the systems and workflow improvements that keep Suno running smoothly at scale. If you love building clean processes, thrive on figuring out how to make things work better, and want to do it all at one of the most exciting companies in AI, this is the role for you.
