You will drive the implementation of innovative testing strategies, alternative methods, and emerging technologies for both systemic toxicity and carcinogenicity assessment. This leadership role requires someone who can challenge conventional approaches, integrate computational toxicology tools, and develop novel study designs that enhance predictive power while potentially reducing animal usage. You will lead the evolution of our leading-edge science, actively directing the development and validation of new testing frameworks and risk assessment methodologies that shape the future of toxicology research and carcinogenicity evaluation. You will partner with our strategic global CRO network to ensure data alignment with Syngenta standards and practices, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver best-in-class technical evaluation of mammalian toxicology data.

What We Are Looking For

* Advanced degree in a scientific discipline relevant to toxicology with extensive postgraduate experience and a broad understanding of toxicology associated with crop protection products.
* Proven track record of effective technical or people leadership of a group of technical staff.
* Proven ability to manage complexity and ambiguity and resolve business-critical issues in a collaborative manner with internal and external stakeholders, inculding contract research organsiations.
* Must understand and comply with both regional and global requirements that are placed on the team and deliver according to the appropriate defined standards and priorities.
