## Job Description
## What You'll Do
- Lead Suno's litigation function across its full docket — copyright and IP matters in U.S. federal court and in Europe, plus the company's privacy, employment, commercial, and emerging disputes.
- Manage outside counsel relationships — staffing, budgets, work product, and performance — to deliver results that align with business and product strategy.
- Partner closely with the business affairs and product legal teams to align litigation strategy with commercial deals, product roadmaps, and the company's broader legal posture.
- Build the litigation function from the inside: case management workflows, legal hold and discovery processes, knowledge capture, and reporting that scale as the docket grows.
- Take on strategic legal initiatives at the General Counsel's request — projects that may sit outside any single matter but materially shape Suno's legal foundation.
- Help defend the legal foundation for Creative Entertainment, so we can keep delivering on a mission to make creative fulfillment a daily reality for everyone.

- Substantive copyright knowledge — comfortable with infringement frameworks, fair use, DMCA, and statutory damages analysis.
- Track record managing outside counsel, budgets, and case strategy across the lifecycle of a dispute.
- Strong analytical and writing skills, with the ability to take a complex record and turn it into a clear strategic recommendation for non-lawyers.
- Sharp business judgment and a low-ego, hands-on approach to working across an organization.
- Comfort with pace and change, intellectual curiosity about AI and music technology, and high integrity.

### Nice-to-Haves
- Experience managing or substantively participating in both U.S. and European litigation.
