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.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead Global PR Strategy: Drive impactful earned media coverage across key business, tech, and security publications to elevate Snyk’s market presence.
- Master Agency Partnerships: Manage and maximize global PR agency relationships, setting strategy and holding partners accountable to high-performance results.
- Craft Compelling Narratives: Develop and refine core content including press releases, bylines, reports, and executive messaging to ensure a consistent AI-native brand voice.
- Advise Senior Leadership: Support executive communications by drafting internal messaging that keeps our global team informed, aligned, and energized.
- Drive Cross-Functional Synergy: Partner with Analyst Relations, Social Media, Product Marketing, and Content teams to align external comms with major product launches and milestones.
- Monitor and Respond: Navigate the media landscape to identify proactive story opportunities and respond to emerging issues with speed and sound judgment.
- Measure Impact: Establish and track KPIs for communications programs, using data to continuously refine our approach and demonstrate business value.
What You Bring:
- Extensive Expertise: 10+ years of experience in public relations or strategic communications, with at least 3 years in a management capacity.
- Proven Track Record: A history of securing meaningful media coverage and building lasting relationships with reporters across business and technology press.
- Strategic Agency Management: Demonstrated experience setting workflows and evaluating performance for external PR agencies.
- Exceptional Communication: Elite writing skills across various formats and the ability to adapt tone for different audiences and moments.
- Leadership Mindset: A collaborative, low-ego approach with a background in team mentorship and a focus on building a winning culture.
- Agility: Comfort navigating ambiguity and managing multiple priorities in a high-growth, fast-paced SaaS or AI-driven environment.
It’d Be Awesome If You Also…
- Have past experience working at a PR agency and understand the relationship from both sides of the table.
- Bring a background in cybersecurity or developer tooling (or have a massive appetite to learn it fast!).
- Have navigated a company through a major rebrand, repositioning, or significant growth milestone.
- Can build presentations that keep a meeting room awake and love a good meme.
- Have a sense of humor — we take our mission seriously, but not ourselves!
