Job description
We are seeking a highly analytical and business-focused Data Scientist to join our People Analytics & Insights team. In this role, you will leverage advanced analytics, machine learning, and statistical modeling to uncover insights from workforce data, supporting strategic talent decisions across the organization.

Key Responsibilities:
- Analyze large and complex HR datasets (e.g., engagement, attrition, performance, compensation, hiring) to uncover trends, patterns, and opportunities for business impact.
- Build predictive and prescriptive models (e.g., attrition risk, career pathing, workforce segmentation) to support data-informed people strategies.
- Translate business problems into analytical questions and communicate findings in clear, actionable terms to non-technical audiences.
- Develop visualizations, dashboards, and storytelling tools to enhance insight delivery (e.g., in Tableau, Power BI, Workday Discovery Boards).
- Partner with HR stakeholders to identify KPIs, define success metrics, and improve people-related decision-making through data.
- Design and implement surveys, experiments (A/B testing), and causal inference models to evaluate the impact of HR programs and initiatives.
- Ensure ethical data use and compliance with privacy and governance standards.
- Stay current on industry best practices in people analytics, data science, and AI/ML in HR.
At the Syngenta Group, our 56,000 people across more than 90 countries strive every day to transform agriculture through tailor-made solutions for the benefit of farmers, society and our planet – making us the world's most local agricultural technology and innovation partner.
