Head of Learning and Growth
About The Position
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? Learning & Growth is a strategic priority at Snyk as we scale in an AI-accelerated world. We’ve built a strong foundation – manager development, mentoring, engaged employees – but we’re ready for true ownership, cohesion, and impact. As Head of Learning & Growth, you’ll shape how Snykers grow their skills, careers, and leadership capability, directly supporting retention, productivity, and our AI transformation. This is a build-and-evolve role: highly autonomous, deeply connected to the business, and focused on creating learning people genuinely value –not one-size-fits-all programmes. You’ll partner closely with PX, Talent, GTM, R&D, and business leaders to design learning journeys that meet teams where they are and scale globally as Snyk grows.
Requirements
- Experience leading or owning Learning & Development, Enablement, or Talent Development in fast-paced SaaS/tech environments.

- Curiosity, creativity, and the confidence to operate with autonomy.
Nice To Haves
- Have worked with AI-enabled learning or modern learning platforms.

- Can design learning that keeps people engaged (and awake 🙌).
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve Snyk’s global Learning & Growth strategy across onboarding, role readiness, leadership development, and continuous learning.
- Build business-led learning journeys by partnering with leaders and TBPs – translating real needs into impactful programmes.
- Drive AI fluency and “people + AI” capability, enabling responsible, productive use of AI across the organisation.
- Own and optimise our learning infrastructure (including LMS, content partners, and analytics) with a focus on measurable impact.
- Use data to assess effectiveness, improve adoption, and influence retention and performance outcomes.
- Lead and develop a lean Learning & Growth team, balancing strategic direction with hands-on execution.
Benefits
- 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
