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).
Suno is scaling fast, and the accounting function is being built from the ground up. As our Director of Accounting, you'll be the Controller's right hand and one of the first hires on the accounting team, owning the monthly close, consolidations, and the general ledger while standing up the controls, systems, and technical accounting foundation a company at our stage needs to grow into a best-in-class finance organization. You'll lead us through our first-year audit, build toward IPO readiness, and bring a measured, meaningful approach to AI that unlocks the efficiency and capability a modern accounting team should have. You'll partner closely with FP&A, People, Legal, and the broader business, and you'll set the standard for how we operate, document, and automate as we scale. This is a builder's role for someone who wants to do the work today and grow into a leader as the team grows around them.
