Sr. Manager, Policy

About the Role

You will lead Trust & Safety Policy at Suno, directly building and shaping our policies. You'll partner with PM, Engineering, and Legal to understand the impact of policies on detecting and remediating violative content, fraud, bots, and identity issues, while navigating music rights and regulatory obligations.

Responsibilities

• Own the Trust & Safety policy portfolio end-to-end: content and behavior policies, enforcement standards, and the policy roadmap as generation volume and product surface area grow.
• Write policy that machines can enforce: translate principles into decision criteria, model thresholds, and reviewer guidance that produce consistent outcomes at millions of generations per day.
• Own policy for hard genAI music problems: artist voice impersonation, rights-adjacent abuse, synthetic content disclosure, and prompt-level misuse, in partnership with Legal.
• Turn regulatory obligations (DSA, OSA, and emerging AI-content regimes) into enforceable internal policy and audit-ready documentation, in partnership with Legal.
• Run the policy development lifecycle: risk assessment, stakeholder review, launch guidance, enforcement calibration, and post-launch measurement of policy effectiveness.
• Set the escalation and edge-case framework: who decides what, on what timeline, with what precedent, so novel cases become policy instead of one-off judgment calls.
• Publish externally when it counts: community guidelines, transparency reporting inputs, and policy explanations creators can actually understand.
• Partner with Product and Engineering early so policy shapes features before launch rather than cleaning up after them.

Requirements

• 7+ years in trust & safety, platform policy, or integrity work, including 3+ years owning a policy domain at a UGC or generative AI platform.
• A portfolio of policies you wrote that shipped and held up: ability to walk through risk assessment, enforcement design, and post-launch changes.
• Demonstrated experience making policy machine-enforceable: decision trees, model threshold input, labeling taxonomies, or reviewer guidance that produced measurable consistency gains.
• Fluency in the regulatory landscape shaping platform policy (DSA, OSA, and emerging AI-content regimes) and a record of converting obligations into operational requirements.
• Working knowledge of music rights, IP, or media licensing sufficient to write credible policy alongside Legal.
• Evidence of moving Product, Engineering, and Legal to adopt policy positions they did not initially support.
• Writing skills that cater to operators, executives, and regulators: precise enough to enforce, clear enough to defend publicly.

Qualifications

• Music, media, or IP-adjacent platform experience and fluency in rights-matching abuse patterns (nice to have).
• Direct exposure to DSA, OSA, or emerging AI-content regulatory regimes as operational requirements (nice to have).
