Job Description

At Syngenta, trusted data and innovative analytics are essential to driving smarter business decisions and advancing our digital transformation.

We are seeking a Data Governance & Reporting Analyst to bridge business priorities with reliable data, scalable analytics solutions, and sustainable digital products. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence how data is governed, managed, and transformed into meaningful business insights across North America.

The position combines two equally important areas of responsibility: Data Governance & Data Products and Analytics Application Ownership & Delivery.

If you enjoy connecting people, processes, and technology to solve complex business challenges, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

This is a fully remote position; however, candidates must be able to travel to our Greensboro, North Carolina, location as needed to support business operations, meetings, and other organizational priorities.

• Own and prioritize analytics product backlogs and roadmaps, balancing business value, resource capacity, dependencies, risks, and long-term sustainability.
• Guide analytics solutions throughout the product lifecycle, including discovery, design, development, implementation, adoption, continuous improvement, and retirement.
• Lead reporting modernization and rationalization efforts by promoting reusable solutions, evaluating new dashboard requests, and supporting legacy reporting transitions.
• Provide product ownership for the existing Qlik reporting environment, partnering with technical specialists to evaluate requirements, prioritize enhancements, and support transition activities.
• Coordinate cross-functional delivery teams and external partners, facilitate Agile activities, manage dependencies, and communicate project progress, risks, and decisions.
• Drive stakeholder engagement, product demonstrations, user acceptance testing, release readiness, and adoption while supporting SAP S/4HANA and other enterprise transformation initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Management, Business, Technology, Analytics, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
