Head of Learning and Growth

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.

What You’ll Do:

• 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.

What You Bring:

• Experience leading or owning Learning & Development, Enablement, or Talent Development in fast-paced SaaS/tech environments.

• A proven ability to execute – building and shipping programmes, not just defining strategy.

• Strong stakeholder influence and comfort working with senior leaders.

• A data-informed mindset with experience measuring learning impact.

• Curiosity, creativity, and the confidence to operate with autonomy.

It’d Be Awesome If You Also… 

• Have worked with AI-enabled learning or modern learning platforms.

• Bring a product or programme-management mindset.

• Enjoy getting into the detail as much as setting direction.

• Can design learning that keeps people engaged (and awake 🙌).
   

Annual Base Salary Range: $120,000 – $190,000
