Senior Manager, People Partner

Who We Are: At Synopsys, we drive the innovations that shape the way we live and connect. Our technology is central to the Era of Pervasive Intelligence, from self-driving cars to learning machines. We lead in chip design, verification, and IP integration, empowering the creation of high-performance silicon chips and software content. Join us to transform the future through continuous technological innovation.

Synopsys seeks a strategic People Partner for its Strategy and Marketing teams who will collaborate globally to implement scalable solutions, foster a unified culture, and drive organizational design and change. The People team culture emphasizes trust, support, collaboration, and challenging norms to achieve impactful growth and shared success.

You Are: You see yourself as more than a traditional business partner, you’re a true-thinking partner to leaders. You’re energized by working shoulder-to-shoulder with your team, sharing knowledge, offering candid feedback, and pushing for what’s possible (not just what’s expected). You’re comfortable challenging assumptions, debating ideas, and advocating for new ways of working, all while keeping relationships strong and positive.

You love diving into the business, connecting data to decisions, and making talent strategy a real engine for growth. You’re someone who brings positive energy, a sense of curiosity, and a knack for building trust across the table. You believe in accountability, but also in supporting your peers and helping raise the bar for everyone.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Serve as a strategic People Partner for our Strategy and Marketing organizations.
• Collaborate closely with global peers and Centers of Excellence (Talent, Total Rewards, Org Design, People Ops) to create solutions that scale—and actually stick.
• Champion our “One Synopsys” mindset: break down silos, foster honest conversations, and help teams connect across the business.
• Model our values of Agility, Courage, Excellence, and Trust—especially when it means respectfully challenging old habits or proposing bold new ideas.
• Draw from your experience leading through change, including integrations and cultural transformation.
• Bring your enthusiasm for org design, data, and building strong, unified teams.

What You’ll Need:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in People Partnering, HR Business Partnering, or People leadership roles, preferably within technology or complex, global organizations.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to connect people decisions to revenue, customer outcomes, and brand impact.
• Demonstrated success leading through change, ambiguity, and transformation (e.g., org redesign, integration, new operating models).
• Credibility and presence to influence senior leaders and coach executives and people managers.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of: We’re a close-knit People team at Synopsys, passionate about helping our business—and each other—thrive. We believe the best work happens when everyone feels trusted, supported, and challenged to think bigger. Our team operates with a “One Team” mindset: we back each other up, celebrate wins together, and aren’t afraid to ask tough questions or try new approaches.

You’ll join a group that’s serious about impact, but also about enjoying the work and having each other’s backs. We push each other to grow, share credit, and approach every challenge as a team. We want colleagues who are ready to speak up, pitch in, and help shape the future—not just follow the script.

Rewards and Benefits: We offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.
