More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a late-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks. With our purified, high-precision investigational cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives.

We are establishing manufacturing operations on the East Coast to ensure the consistent and reliable delivery of our high-precision cell therapy products. This site is essential to advancing our clinical pipeline and supporting future commercial availability of our life-saving therapies.

About Suno

We're building the world's first creative entertainment platform, where the entire world can feel the joy and fulfillment of making music. Music is for everyone: Our users include everyone from grandmothers creating songs for their loved ones, to Grammy winners using Suno Studio, our power tool, to make the most popular hits in the world.

Building the future of entertainment requires ambition. The pace is fast, the problems are hard, and the work demands ownership and intensity. For the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding: a chance to shape a new medium, work with a small team that cares deeply about quality, make music, drink too much coffee, and build something that millions of people use to express themselves in ways that were never before possible.

Suno is the fastest growing consumer entertainment company and the leader in AI music. We are backed by leading investors including Bond Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, IVP, Forerunner, Union Square Ventures, Alkeon, Quiet, Matrix Partners, Schroders Capital and, NVentures (venture arm of NVIDIA).

Founded in 2023 by Harvard alumni with a shared passion for music, Suno has quickly grown to 250 employees while empowering more than 100 million people to create original songs. In 2026, we raised a $400 million Series D at a $5.4 billion valuation to continue building innovative products that amplify creativity and imagination.

About the Role

Artificial intelligence is transforming every creative field. At Suno, we are building one of the world's leading generative music models, enabling millions of people to become musicians for the first time.

We are hiring the first Product Manager dedicated to our Research organization.

In this role, you will partner closely with world-class machine learning engineers to identify the highest-impact opportunities for improving our models. By combining user understanding with rigorous evaluation and product judgment, you will help researchers focus on the problems whose solutions have the greatest impact on our business.

This is a rare opportunity to bring product judgment into the model development process: helping ensure our research efforts are grounded in real user needs, evaluated thoughtfully, and translated into meaningful improvements in what people can create with Suno.

What You'll Do

• Define what “good” means — Own the evaluation frameworks and quality metrics for Suno’s foundational music model: what we measure, why it matters, and how we know the model is improving.

• Connect creator needs to model capabilities — Deeply understand how people create with Suno, identify where the model helps or falls short, and translate those insights into research problems the team can act on.

• Bridge product and research — Partner with user-facing PMs, engineers, and data scientists to understand real-world model behavior and turn those learnings into better evaluations, clearer priorities, and more useful capabilities.

• Shape model priorities in partnership with Research — Bring user insight, data, and business context into roadmap discussions, helping the team make thoughtful tradeoffs when research opportunities and product needs compete.

• Bring new models and capabilities to market — Work with Research, Product, and Product Marketing to launch model improvements in a way users can understand, adopt, and get value from.

• Go deep technically — Run experiments, dig into model behavior, and work in the details alongside researchers and data scientists.
