Description
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?
As the Lead Procurement Business Partner, R&D & FinOps, you will be the commercial architect for Snyk’s high-growth Engineering organization. Managing the entire R&D spend estate, you will lead the intersection of strategic procurement and cloud financial management. You will act as a "commercial shield" for R&D, ensuring we reach our margin targets without sacrificing engineering velocity.
This is a "dual-threat" leadership role: you will oversee the traditional procurement lifecycle for R&D (Supplier Management, RFPs, Renewals) while also directing the FinOps function to ensure our cloud consumption is optimized efficiently.

What You'll Do
- Cross-Functional Efficiency Execution: Serve as the "connective tissue" between R&D, Finance, and FinOps. You will lead regular workgroups to identify technical efficiency opportunities and drive the commercial execution required to realize those savings.
- R&D Estate Business Partnering: Act as the primary commercial concierge for the R&D organization. You will manage the entire spend portfolio, removing administrative friction for engineers and ensuring that every dollar spent aligns with R&D’s technical roadmap.
- 7+ years in Strategic Procurement, Category Management, or a Commercial FinOps leadership role.
- Collaborative Leadership: Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives between Engineering and Finance teams to drive bottom-line impact.
- Have experience working within the AI, Security or SaaS Industry.
- Bring fresh ideas and aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo
- Have a sense of humour — we take our mission seriously, but not ourselves!
