At Syngenta, we help address one of the greatest challenges of our time: developing a more sustainable, innovative and high\-performing agriculture.

The Toulouse Innovation Center holds a key place in this ambition. A true centre of expertise and innovation, the site brings together dedicated teams in an international, scientific and collaborative environment.

In this context, we are looking for our future Site Manager to support the site's development, drive an ambitious vision and unite teams around a culture of performance, innovation and human engagement.

This role offers a rare opportunity to combine:

• Strategic leadership

Job Description

As Site Manager, you oversee the overall management of the Toulouse Innovation Center and play a central role in the site's dynamics and performance. You are responsible for ensuring smooth operations and creating a stimulating, safe and collaborative work environment. You operate at the heart of an international ecosystem and work closely with a wide range of stakeholders: local teams, regional management, global functions and external partners.

Responsibilities

Set direction and drive site momentum:

• Define and champion the site's vision in line with the organisation's priorities


• Support transformations and strategic projects


• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence


• Ensure a high\-performing, agile and results\-oriented organisation

Oversee research activities:

• Maintain an overall understanding of the site's research programmes and scientific activities

• Act as a bridge between scientific teams and the broader organisation, ensuring alignment between research priorities and site strategy

Manage, unite and develop teams:

• Create a positive, collaborative and engaging work environment


• Support managers and foster talent development


• Encourage accountability, autonomy and innovation


• Actively contribute to employee engagement and quality of life at work

Drive financial performance:

• Own the site's budget and ensure rigorous, responsible resource management


• Build and foster a financial mindset across teams, encouraging smart allocation and challenging the status quo


• Drive efficiency and innovation not only in research, but in how resources are planned and utilised

Ensure safety and compliance:

• Champion a strong Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) culture

• Develop a proactive approach to risk prevention and continuous improvement

Manage social relations and stakeholders:

• Maintain quality social dialogue with the site's employee representative bodies

Qualifications Your profile:

Engineering degree or equivalent Master's level (Bac\+5\), with a minimum of 10 years' experience in management, including 5 years in an international environment. Non\-linear career paths are welcome – what matters most is your ability to unite people, inspire teams and navigate complex environments.

What we are looking for:

A hands\-on leader: someone who inspires and brings people together, but who also knows how to roll up their sleeves – actively participating in the delivery of projects and initiatives, not just managing from a distance.

You bring:

• Significant experience in site management, operations, production, R\&D or a similar environment


• A strong management background and the ability to drive organisational change


• A proven ability to lead transformation projects in complex, international contexts


• Experience in budget management and financial stewardship, with the ability to drive a culture of diligent resource management
