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? Snyk is at a defining moment in its brand and communications evolution, and we're looking for a Senior Manager of Corporate Communications to help drive our global narrative forward. Reporting to the Director of Communications & Brand, you'll serve as the strategic lead for our public relations function. This is a hands-on leadership role designed for a seasoned professional who can move between big-picture strategy and polished execution without missing a beat. You will operate at a senior level, focusing on the "how" of our communication targets through strategic programs and a deep knowledge of execution tactics. You’ll be a key mentor within the team, fostering strong relationships and empowering others to do their best work.
