- Attends live shows regularly
- Has deep relationships across labels, artists, managers, and the broader music ecosystem
- Is A trusted taste-maker whose recommendations people seek out — friends, colleagues, and industry contacts alike

## What You’ll Do

- Set the editorial vision for how music is discovered and celebrated within Suno, including in-app playlist curation, artist spotlights, and genre, style and mood taxonomy
- Oversee the development and maintenance of Suno's curation frameworks — ensuring the platform's musical taxonomy reflects both the breadth of Suno's community and the evolving landscape of AI-generated music
- Champion artist spotlights and features as a meaningful touchpoint for community recognition and platform storytelling
- Ensure editorial decisions are informed by data, community feedback, and cultural context, balancing algorithmic signals with human taste
- Help build and lead the editorial team, including hiring, mentoring, and setting the standards for how curators evaluate and select music
- Work collaboratively with and earn the trust of the current members of the team, rather than disrupting the ecosystem on Day 1
- Partner with Product and Engineering to define how editorial signals (human curation) and algorithmic recommendation systems work together, rather than in competition
- Develop a POV on how music made with Suno should be evaluated editorially — what "quality" and "originality" mean in this context, and how that differs from (or resembles) traditional A&R judgment
- Manage editorial balance between music made with Suno and music licensed for Suno
- Drive editorial not only from the lens of discovery but also engagement/remixing
- Represent Suno's editorial voice externally — in artist and label conversations, press, and partnerships — as a credible authority on music discovery
- Define and track success metrics for editorial programs (engagement, retention, artist satisfaction) and report on program impact to leadership

- 10+ years of experience in A&R, editorial, or a related field within the music industry
- A genuine point of view on music curation, discovery, and what makes an editorial program feel authentic and culturally resonant
- Strong operational instincts with experience building and improving processes across marketing or editorial workflows
- AI fluency, or at the very least curiosity and fair review of music made with AI-assistance
- Familiarity with metadata and taxonomy systems
- Excellent communicator: able to represent Suno credibly with senior artist teams and external partners, and communicate clearly and directly internally
- Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by the pace and possibility of a high-growth environment
- Passion for music and sincere belief in technology's potential to expand creative access and expression
- A roll-up-your-sleeves mentality as we grow rapidly and are building a generational company
- A passion for music, culture, and creativity, with a finger on the pulse of industry trends.
- Ability to work cross-functionally across multiple teams (marketing, brand, creative, growth, engineering) that are growing rapidly

## Preferred

- Experience at a streaming, publication, or AI company
- Familiarity with music taxonomy, metadata, or editorial curation systems
- Experience working within or alongside product and engineering teams
