Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities - from code and dependencies to containers and cloud. Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era - boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We're not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking. It's how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world. Why this role? We're looking for an experienced Talent Business Partner Director (HRBP) to serve as the strategic people partner to Snyk's global R&D organization - our engineering, product, and design teams building the developer security platform that protects millions of developers. You'll sit at the table with senior R&D leaders as a trusted advisor on talent strategy, org design, and how we build and scale high-performing technical teams, while staying close enough to the day-to-day to coach managers and unblock real issues as they come up. This role currently operates as an individual contributor with the opportunity to build and lead a team as R&D's people needs grow. What You'll Do: Acting as a strategic thought partner to R&D's senior leadership, including VP and C-level stakeholders, on org design, workforce planning, and the people strategy that supports Snyk's product and engineering roadmap. Coaching and developing engineering and product managers at every level - from first-time managers to senior leaders - on team building, performance, and difficult conversations. Partnering with R&D leadership on organizational design, team scaling, and restructuring, bringing a clear point of view on how technical orgs should be structured to move fast without losing cohesion. Leading complex or sensitive employee relations matters within R&D, exercising sound judgment and maintaining in-depth knowledge of the legal and regulatory considerations across the regions where our R&D teams sit. Using people data and workforce analytics to spot trends across the R&D org - attrition, engagement, promotion velocity - and turning those insights into concrete recommendations for leadership. Driving R&D's participation in company-wide talent programs, including talent calibration, compensation reviews, and performance cycles, adapting the process where needed for a technical, global workforce. Identifying and developing high-potential talent within R&D, and partnering with Talent Acquisition on critical technical hiring and succession planning for key roles. Partnering cross-functionally with Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Growth, and People Operations to make sure R&D's people programs are cohesive with the broader Snyk people strategy. Mentoring other members of the People team and contributing a strong point of view to how the wider People function evolves as Snyk scales. What You Bring: 10+ years of progressive HR/People experience, including several years supporting Engineering, Product, R&D, or another technical organization, ideally in a high-growth software or security company. A track record of partnering directly with senior (VP/C-level) technical leaders as a trusted advisor, not just an execution partner. Strong experience with organizational design and scaling - you have a real point of view on how to structure technical teams as they grow, and you've been in the room for reorgs, not just briefed on them afterward. Sound, consistent judgment on sensitive employee relations matters, with working knowledge of employment practices across multiple countries (Snyk's R&D org spans the US, UK, Israel, Romania, and beyond). A genuinely analytical mindset - you're comfortable pulling apart people data to find the story in it, and you use it to influence decisions rather than just report on them. The ability to operate at multiple altitudes in the same day: advising a VP on succession planning in the morning, coaching a first-time manager through a hard conversation in the afternoon. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to know when a message needs polish and when it needs to be direct and human. Experience building or scaling people programs in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment - you're energized by building the plane while flying it, not just running a mature playbook. It'd Be Awesome If You Also Experience mentoring more junior colleagues across the people organization. SHRM, HRCI, CIPD or equivalent HR certification. Have implemented AI into your daily work life. Annual Base Salary Range: $215,000 - $240,000 + 20% annual bonus Snyk is committed to equal pay for equal work and carefully considers a wide range of compensation factors. Actual compensation may vary based on prior experience, skills, location, internal equity, and other job-related factors. Our Total Rewards program includes, but is not limited to, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, and health, dental, and vision insurance. We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we've created and we value diversity - we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you're the right person, do apply anyway! About Snyk Snyk is committed to creating an inclusive and engaging environment where our employees can thrive as we rally behind our common mission to make the digital world a safer place. From Snyk employee resource groups, to global benefits that help our employees prioritize their health, wellness, financial security, and a work/life blend, we aim to support our employees along their entire journeys here at Snyk. Benefits & Programs Prioritize health, wellness, financial security, and life balance with programs tailored to your location and role. Flexible working hours, work-from home allowances, in-office perks, and time off for learning and self development Generous vacation and wellness time off, country-specific holidays, and 100% paid parental leave for all caregivers Health benefits, employee assistance plans, and annual wellness allowance Country-specific life insurance, disability benefits, and retirement/pension programs, plus mobile phone and education allowances
