## About the role

We're looking for a Lead of ML Data Operations to build and lead a new function at Suno. This team owns how we source and develop the data that powers our models. You’ll work closely with Research and Product to understand what's needed and figuring out how to deliver it, whether through external partners, in-product collection, or both. You’ll also build this function from the ground up so expect real ownership and real ambiguity in equal measure!

## What they're looking for

- 6–8+ years of experience in ML data operations, training data, or data labeling programs with direct experience managing external labeling vendors, building internal labeling systems, or both
- Demonstrated leadership at a director or equivalent level, with a track record of building teams or functions that didn't previously exist
- Comfort and excitement with operating with a high degree of autonomy where the path isn't fully defined
- Strong cross-functional instincts across Research, Product, and Engineering
