Full Job Description
About the Role

Suno's spend is growing fast across vendors, production and creative teams, and a quickly expanding workforce and we need someone to build the accounts payable and T&E function that keeps up with it. As one of the first hires on the accounting team and reporting to the Director of Accounting, you'll own AP and T&E end to end: the systems, the policies, the controls, and the day-to-day operations. You'll tailor processes to the real needs of different teams, our production and creative groups don't operate like everyone else, while keeping the rigor and scalability a growing company depends on, and you'll bring a measured, meaningful approach to AI that unlocks the efficiency a best-in-class operation should have. This is a build-and-operate role for someone who wants to stand up a function the right way and grow into leading it.

  • Build scalable AP and T&E policies and controls, tailoring them to the needs of individual departments without losing consistency.
  • Implement and optimize the systems and AI-enabled automation that make spend management fast, accurate, and self-service, adopting new tools with measured judgment and the right guardrails.
  • Partner with department leads, especially production and creative teams, to design approaches that fit how they actually work.
  • Help a growing accounting team operate cleanly and scale, taking on more ownership and leadership over time.
  • Keep the financial plumbing flowing smoothly behind a platform built to make creative fulfillment a daily reality for everyone.

  • A demonstrated, measured use of AI and automation to streamline accounting operations.
