External Communications Lead

About Suno

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).

• Elevate Suno's leaders and support them in all external-facing communications.
• Deftly manage sensitive and high-profile issues and crises.
• Scale communications capabilities as the company grows.

What We're Looking For:

• Exceptional writing, messaging, and storytelling skills.
• Fluency across content creation for owned channels and obsession for understanding audiences and new ways of reaching them.

• Excellent strategic judgment and ability to prioritize many competing demands and deadlines.
• Ability to translate complex topics into clear, compelling narratives.
