About the Role

Snyk is investing in creating a best-in-class Analyst Relations function, and we're looking for an Analyst Relations Director to lead it - a role with a direct line of sight to the CEO and executive leadership team. You'll own how Snyk shows up to the analyst community (Gartner, Forrester, IDC, and beyond), and be the person who translates what's happening across our market categories and the vendor landscape into a point of view that executive leadership actually uses to make decisions about where Snyk plays and how we win.

Responsibilities

• Owning and executing Snyk's overall analyst relations strategy - the relationships, the cadence, and the narrative
• Building and personally managing high-trust relationships with the analysts who matter most to Snyk's category, at firms including Gartner, Forrester, and IDC
• Developing deep fluency in how our market categories are evolving and in the vendor landscape competing for the same mindshare - not to build competitive collateral, but to bring a sharp, credible point of view into every analyst conversation
• Running the full analyst engagement motion: briefings, inquiries, advisory days, conference participation, and research report submissions (Magic Quadrant, Wave, MarketScape, and similar)
• Presenting Snyk's market position and perspective directly to executive leadership and the CEO - where we're positioned well, where we're exposed, and what's shifting in how the market and analyst community define the categories we compete in
• Negotiating and managing analyst firm contracts, ensuring Snyk gets full value from every engagement
• Supporting the Gartner Peer Insights customer review program
• Partnering with our AI Engineering & Transformation team to build agentic tooling that automates the research-heavy parts of the job - tracking analyst publications, monitoring category and vendor movement, and synthesizing first-pass insights - freeing your time for relationships and strategic judgment
• Triaging internal requests for analyst interactions, research, and event support, and making sure analyst intelligence actually gets used - feeding back into roadmap, messaging, and go-to-market decisions

Requirements

• Experience running or playing a lead role in an analyst relations program, ideally with firms like Gartner, Forrester, or IDC
• A track record participating in and influencing Magic Quadrant, Wave, or MarketScape outcomes
• Ability to think in terms of market categories and vendor landscapes, not just individual competitors, and can turn that thinking into a compelling narrative
• Comfortable being the sole owner of a strategic program early on, and energized by rebuilding it with modern tools rather than inheriting someone else's playbook
• Executive presence - you can walk into a room with the CEO or exec staff and hold your own on where the market is headed
• Genuinely curious about using AI and agentic tooling to change how intelligence work gets done, and you know where automation helps versus where relationships and judgment can't be replaced
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and can flex between analyst-facing polish and executive-level synthesis
• Take complete ownership of the programs you run and thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Excited about our mission to help unleash AI Innovators – securely

Nice to Have

• Experience at a security or DevOps company, or with security products
• Experience building analyst credibility inside a category that was actively being redefined by a major technology shift

We Offer

• Hybrid working: You'll spend three days a week with your team at your local office, with flexibility built in. Remote options are available for specific roles.
• Time off: Recharge with ample PTO, dedicated wellness leave, local public holidays, and generous paid parental leave for growing families.
• Health and wellbeing: Your health matters to us. We support your total well-being with comprehensive medical benefits, mental health care, and an annual wellness stipend to support your personal needs.
