There are so many reasons to join us. If you're hungry to build a varied and meaningful career in a community of brilliant and diverse minds to make a real difference, there's only one choice.

Research and Impact Acceleration

YOUR TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define the vision and multi-year strategy for research acceleration across the early breeding pipeline, framing where faster learning creates durable competitive advantage and translating this into a prioritized portfolio against the highest-value constraints in cycle time, genetic gain, decision quality, and product delivery;
• Establish how the organization formulates and answers research questions by setting standards for hypothesis-driven design, decision-ready evidence, and disciplined scale, pivot, or stop decisions so that rapid iteration becomes the default operating rhythm rather than a collection of individual projects;
• Shape the enabling-technology agenda across accelerated breeding, genomics, phenotyping, predictive analytics, automation, and digital workflows, directing investment and partnerships toward the capabilities that will differentiate the pipeline;
• Lead the adoption strategy that institutionalizes proven innovation, governing the standards, workflows, training, and change management required to embed new practices across crops and regions at scale;
• Own the impact narrative and its metrics by defining how acceleration value is measured and reported on cycle time, genetic gain, cost, quality, and adoption, and using that evidence to steer investment, leadership decisions, and the Long-Range Plan;
• Provide technical, strategic, and product knowledge to the Capability Center, strategically contributing to key global Precision Breeding, Breeding, and R&D focus areas;
• Lead and contribute to Global Breeding strategies and the Long-Range Plan (LRP), ensuring alignment with high-level functional and commercial goals;
• Engage strategically with key universities to coach and guide future talent development, ensuring Bayer is viewed as a strategic talent destination of choice;
• Serve as a member of various L3 leadership units across commercial and product supply teams, helping connect research acceleration with downstream product and supply decisions;
• Ensure a strong focus on HS&E, Compliance, DEI, Business Conduct, and Human Rights across the Capability Hub, fostering a culture that emphasizes ethical practices, safety, inclusion, and responsibility.
