We're on a mission to make migration easy. We started building the company in 2017. Since then, we've grown from 3 to 700+ people, gained unicorn status, raised £140M over three funding rounds, turned profitable, insured millions of drivers and lent millions in car loans. But we're only just getting started. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Over the next 10 years we'll grow exponentially, not only by scaling our existing products, but also by building new ones. To achieve our goals we need incredibly ambitious, commercially driven people who never settle for 'good enough'. Marshmallowers are hungry for autonomy and ownership, and would rather improve than coast. Everyone raises standards and has an impact, with a focus on collective success over self-interest.

You make confident decisions even when the picture is still forming, and you're comfortable operating across more than one domain at once. You have a track record of driving visible improvements to team culture, ways of working, and technical standards. You build trust quickly with a team, and coach others to challenge and disagree constructively, to drive decisions that deliver the highest-impact outcomes You thrive in a fast paced and ever-evolving environment; you adapt to change well (and in fact relish it!). You like to take real ownership of your work, drive yourself forward, and work well both autonomously but also collaboratively with the team and your stakeholders. What we're looking for from you Must have: Excellent leadership and team management skills. A strong background as a senior data science individual contributor, with commercial experience delivering ML solutions end to end Proven ability to influence technical direction across Data Science and Engineering, including shaping scalable model/service integration patterns and challenging proposals to drive robust, long-term solutions. Strong stakeholder management skills, with confidence communicating trade-offs and pushing back constructively to C-suite and senior stakeholders across different functions to ensure high-quality outcomes.

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.
