Director of Editorial Content

About the role

We are seeking a Director of Editorial Content to lead Suno’s editorial vision and strategy. This role will own the editorial direction across various channels including video & audio content, blog, newsletter, features, and artist storytelling. Key responsibilities include defining editorial content, building and leading a team, establishing editorial standards, and aligning editorial efforts with broader brand and business goals.

What You’ll Do

• Own Suno’s long-form editorial vision and strategy across video & audio content, blog, newsletter, features, and artist storytelling—defining what we publish, why, and how it ladders up to brand and business goals.
• Develop the audience and content channel strategy for optimal distribution and reach and impact.
• Build and lead the editorial content team—hiring creators, directors, and editors, developing talent, and shaping a brand's content identity over time.
• Establish and evolve Suno’s editorial voice, style guide, and publishing standards—ensuring every piece feels unmistakably Suno.
• Shape and execute an editorial calendar that balances tentpole features, artist stories, cultural commentary, product narratives, and evergreen content across owned and operated channels.
• Commission, edit, and occasionally write flagship stories—rolling up your sleeves on the pieces that matter most to the brand.
• Partner with Brand, Social, PR, Product Marketing, and Artist Relations to turn editorial into the connective tissue across marketing surfaces—fueling campaigns, launches, and cultural moments with original reporting and narrative.
• Develop relationships with artists, creators, cultural critics, and outside contributors to source stories and perspectives that expand what Suno can say.
• Define and track the metrics that matter for editorial—readership, engagement, brand lift, earned amplification—and use them to sharpen the strategy over time.
• Promote editorial integrity and quality—pushing for originality, rigor, and craft in a fast-moving environment where the temptation to ship fast is real.

What You’ll Need

• 8–10+ years of editorial experience at a respected publication, platform, or brand—ideally with a mix of video content/branded entertainment and in-house brand editorial leadership.
• Exceptional taste and craft. You’re a world-class editor with a strong POV on voice, structure, and headlines, and a portfolio of work that reflects it.
• Deep understanding of music, artist culture, and the creative communities Suno serves—and a genuine curiosity about where AI is taking them.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a strategic leader—setting vision, defending editorial standards, and aligning a publication to business and brand objectives.
• Experience working closely with brand, marketing, social, and PR teams—comfortable making editorial a force multiplier.
• Excellent writing and editing skills—you can go from a blank page to a finished feature, and you can take a writer’s draft and make it sharper, tighter, and more alive.
• Fluency with the modern editorial stack—CMS tools, analytics, SEO fundamentals, newsletter platforms—and a deep knowledge in how AI changes the editorial workflow.
• A builder’s mindset. You’re energized by the prospect of shaping an editorial function from the ground up and playing offense for the brand.
