Benjamin Snyder, the leadership editor at CNBC Make It, has been hired by LinkedIn to oversee coverage of careers and recruiting.

Snyder had been at CNBC since March 2017.

“I’ll manage contributors, report and write careers stories and help with my team’s live events,” said Snyder on LinkedIn. “I got my first writing job thanks to a LinkedIn message I sent about nine years ago, and I’m so happy to join a company whose site I’ve used nearly every day.”

Before joining CNBC, Snyder spent the previous nine months as an assistant managing editor of Odyssey, where he launched a breaking news team to cover trending subjects across the U.S. with over 35 reporters.

Before that, Snyder worked at Fortune.com as an associate editor and a reporter.

He has a bachelor’s degree from Goucher College and a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.
