Full Job Description
About the Role

In 2025, Suno acquired Songkick, a leading concert discovery platform. We believe that music creation and the live music experience can and should be far more intertwined than ever.

We're looking for a General Manager to lead Suno's vision of connecting the richness of the live music space, the joy of music creation, and music fandom. This is a rare dual mandate: you will serve as the operating leader of Songkick, owning product, growth, and business performance, while also serving as a key cross-functional bridge between live music and fan experiences and the broader Suno platform. You are equally responsible for business and product vision.

You'll run Songkick, a beloved brand with deep fan loyalty, a well-established artist and venue data layer, and a massive untapped opportunity to reimagine what live music discovery experiences look like when powered by AI. You'll have the conviction to run a standalone platform and the collaborative instincts to integrate it into something larger.

You've run a business before. You know what it means to own a P&L, make hard prioritization calls, and lead a team through ambiguity.

You have product instincts. You understand live music consumer behavior, can translate user needs into product bets, and have a track record of shipping things that fans love. Bonus if you've built or scaled a discovery, ticketing, or social platform.

You understand the music industry. You can navigate relationships with artists, managers, labels, and promoters. You appreciate the cultural weight of live music, not just its business mechanics.

This role reports to the Chief Music Officer and sits at the intersection of music, marketing, product, and the Suno brand, making it a uniquely high-impact seat at a company redefining what music creation can be.

  • Own and drive Songkick's P&L, including revenue, growth, and cost management
  • Lead a matrix-designed, cross-functional team spanning product, engineering, editorial, and marketing
  • Establish Songkick's operating cadence, from team dynamics to performance dashboards to stakeholder reporting

Product & Experience
  • Drive the product strategy for Songkick's consumer experience (web and app), with a focus on discovery, personalization, and fan engagement
  • Identify and prioritize the highest-leverage product investments, including how AI and Suno's capabilities can enhance Songkick's core value proposition
  • Ensure Songkick's artist data and event infrastructure remains best-in-class, while opening new surface areas for fan connection

  • Champion a vision for what it means to move a fan from creating music on Suno to driving live experiences on Songkick, and help build the connective tissue that makes it real
  • Represent Songkick's community and brand values as Suno evolves its broader strategy in the music ecosystem


What You'll Need
  • 10+ years of experience in music, media, technology, or entertainment, with meaningful operating leadership
  • Prior experience as a GM, COO, Head of Product, or equivalent role with P&L ownership or significant business accountability
  • Deep familiarity with the live music, ticketing, or streaming landscape
  • Demonstrated success building and scaling consumer products or platforms
  • Experience working in or alongside artist/fan communities; you understand both sides of the stage
  • Comfort operating in high-growth, fast-moving environments where the map is still being drawn
Preferred
  • Experience at a music technology, streaming, or AI company
  • Experience working within or alongside product and engineering teams
