Program Lead, Suno Emerging Creator Program (Contract)

About Suno 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). About the Program Suno's mission is amplifying creativity for people everywhere. Having built strong traction with emerging musicians and producers, our next opportunity is the content creator economy. Suno’s new Emerging Creator Program launches that effort: developing the next generation of creators while establishing Suno as a company that accelerates creative careers. The program is a selective, cohort-based 12-week experience (Sept 21 – Dec 11) for a cohort of nano and micro creators building careers around content. Members get access to exclusive programming including Suno workshops and keynotes from breakout creators, plus creative contests, content spotlights, IRL events, and a network of fellow creators. At the end of the program, we aim to sign a few participants for ongoing deals with Suno, maintain an active community of creators, and scale the initiative beyond the pilot phase. The Role You'll be the operational engine of the program: building it from the ground up alongside the Suno team through August and September, then running it end-to-end through December. You'll own the calendar, the cohort experience, the speakers, the events, and all of the details in between. In this role you’ll have the opportunity to work closely with Growth and Influencer marketing, Music partnerships and Creative to turn this from strategy and vision into reality. What You'll Do Build (August – mid-September) Translate the program outline into a week-by-week curriculum: session formats, Suno skills/tools coverage, contest design for off weeks Build and manage the guest speaker pipeline: identify, pitch, confirm, and prep breakout-creator speakers and mentors Stand up program infrastructure: community channel (Slack/Discord), calendar, meeting/tech setup, application intake and tracking Support outreach and sourcing: manage the handpicked invite list, Spark referrals, and application pipeline; run logistics for the selection process (Sept 7–18) Determine application approach, launch messaging, and launch-creator partnership Source and negotiate member perks with partner tools and brands Coordinate internal reviews (including legal review of contest mechanics, creator payments, event liability, and minors) Run (Sept 21 – Dec 11) Own the biweekly programming cadence end-to-end: scheduling, speaker coordination, session production, follow-ups Run monthly creative contests: briefs, submission tracking, judging logistics, prize fulfillment Design and manage the creator spotlight approach Produce IRL moments if applicable Be the day-to-day face of the program for members: onboarding, questions, nudges, community management, keeping energy high Track program health: attendance, participation, contest engagement, member sentiment; flag at-risk members early Assess (December) Produce the graduation moment: credentialing, culmination for participants Transition the cohort into the alumni network Deliver a program retro: what worked, what didn't, and a recommended blueprint for cohort 2 Who You Are You've operated programs like this before: 3+ years running cohort-based programs, creator/community programs, accelerators, fellowships, or high-touch event series, ideally you’ve built one from scratch. You know the creator economy: You understand how nano/micro creators think about growth, money, brands, and community and you can talk to them credibly. Bonus: you've worked with creator programs, MCNs, talent management, or platform partnerships You're an ops machine: Calendars, run-of-shows, trackers, follow-ups. You're the person who notices the Zoom link is wrong before anyone joins You’re hospitality-minded and a strong experience designer: Members should feel the program is run by someone who gets them. You create belonging, and intuitively know what people need and how to serve them. You work autonomously: You are excited by ambiguity and the ability to create structure from guardrails.
