Full Job Description
About the Role

Finance at most companies is a reporting function. At Suno, it's an operating function. As Sr. Director of Business Finance, you'll own the financial operating system of the company - translating strategy into functional P&Ls, keeping every team honest on their numbers, and running the planning and operating cadence that keeps a fast-growing organization aligned. You'll lead a small team and serve as the finance business partner to every functional lead across GTM, Engineering, Product, and G&A. This is a rare chance to build the financial foundation of a company that's defining a new category of entertainment from the ground up.

What You'll Do
  • Own functional P&L management across all opex and serve as the trusted finance business partner to every functional lead across GTM, Engineering, Product, and G&A - because helping a generational creative entertainment company understand what it can afford to build starts with giving every team a clear, current picture of their numbers
  • Run the annual planning process end-to-end - headcount planning cycles, templates, calendars, and working sessions - in close coordination with Corporate Finance who sets the overall envelope
  • Drive the monthly and quarterly operating cadence, including QBRs, variance analysis, and the financial narratives that help leadership make fast, well-grounded decisions
  • Lead procurement strategy and vendor management, ensuring Suno spends with discipline as the company scales


What You'll Need

Must-Haves
  • 12+ years of progressive finance experience, with meaningful time in FP&A, business finance, or finance business partnering at a high-growth technology company
  • Proven track record running company-wide planning processes - annual budgeting, headcount planning, and operating cadences at scale
  • Strong P&L ownership experience across multiple functions, with the ability to build genuine trust with non-finance partners
  • Exceptional financial modeling skills and comfort turning messy operational data into clean, decision-ready analysis
  • Experience managing and developing finance talent, with a track record of building high-performing small teams
  • A direct, low-ego communication style - equally effective in a QBR with a functional VP and a 1:1 with a new manager trying to understand their budget

Nice-to-Haves
  • Experience with procurement and vendor management in a high-growth environment
  • Familiarity with music industry deal structures or media/entertainment business models
  • Experience at a company that has scaled ARR rapidly, with firsthand exposure to the financial infrastructure challenges that come with that growth
  • Comfort with financial data tools and the ability to work closely with data and analytics teams on reporting infrastructure
