What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, Deal Desk position at Snyk?
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.

It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.
Why this role?
As a Senior Manager of Deal Desk, you’ll play a key role in shaping how modern organizations build and secure software at scale. You’ll join a collaborative, forward-thinking team and help drive our mission to embed security into every part of the AI-native development lifecycle. In this role, you will be a strategic partner to the sales organization, driving significant transformation in how we structure, approve, and execute complex deals as AI reshapes the SaaS landscape.
What You’ll Do
Annual Bonus: 15%
We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
