People Operations Specialist

Snyk • Boston, MA

20d • $70,000 - $85,000

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? We are looking for a People Operations Specialist who lives at the intersection of service delivery and process optimization. In this role, you will spend half your time supporting our 1,000+ global employees with high-touch operational support, and the other half "building the future" by automating those very processes. The ideal candidate is someone who is customer-first and happy to get into the details but who questions manual, repetitive tasks and has the technical curiosity to build an AI-driven or automated solution to fix them.

• Process Automation: Audit current manual workflows (e.g., contract generation or document retention) and implement automated triggers and workflows to reduce administrative burden.
• Project Management: Lead various, cross-functional People projects to increase the full People Team’s efficiency and service.
