Job description
Syngenta seeds is looking for a passionate candidate for a full-time position of:
Data Governance Analyst
Type: Permanent
Department: Research & Development
Location: Enkhuizen, NL or Durham, US
Into Action
As our Data Governance Analyst you will play a key role in strengthening the data structure, quality, and protection of our global Vegetables R&D. You’ll partner with stakeholders across crops and continents to shape a single source of truth for critical data and enable smarter, faster decision-making in breeding, trialing, and operations. This is your opportunity to become a trusted voice in data ownership and a catalyst for change across our organization.
The Challenge
In this global role, you will implement and maintain a data governance framework that elevates data standards across the board. From developing reference data and ensuring data integrity in IT systems, to driving adoption of security protocols and best practices. You’ll lead efforts that ensure our data is not only accurate and reliable, but also secure and future-ready. You’ll collaborate closely with data stewards, functional leaders, stakeholders and data science teams to streamline data flows and simplify how information is captured and used. You will drive development of guidelines, simplify ways of working, organize trainings and engage proactively with IT tool users. Your ability to influence without authority and communicate across technical and non-technical audiences will be key to your success.
Syngenta is one of the world’s largest developers and producers of seed for farmers, commercial growers, retailers and small seed companies. Syngenta seeds improve the quality and yields of crops. High-quality seeds ensure better and more productive crops, which is why farmers invest in them. Advanced seeds help mitigate risks such as disease and drought and allow farmers to grow food using less land, less water and fewer inputs. Syngenta Seeds brings farmers more vigorous, stronger, resistant plants, including innovative hybrid varieties and biotech crops that can thrive even in challenging growing conditions.
Your Profile
You hold a Bachelor's with at least 5 years of experience or a Master’s degree with at least 3 years of experience in Data Science, Information Technology or a related field, and you have 3–5 years of experience in an R&D environment within the seed industry. You bring advanced data fluency, including experience with SQL and open-source programming languages, and a deep understanding of breeding pipelines, germplasm, and trialing operations. You’re an independent self-starter who thrives in matrixed environments and can drive alignment across global teams. With your collaborative mindset, problem-solving ability, and drive to continuously improve, you’re ready to lead our data journey. You are willing to travel within region and internationally to meet with your partners and stakeholders up to 10% of your time.
