C&B and HR Operations Specialist | Biologicals

Job Description

Italy - Atessa

Fixed Term 15 months, extendable

About the Role

Syngenta Biologicals is growing fast - and so is the complexity of supporting our people across a global footprint. We're looking for a C&B and HR Operations Specialist to join our team and play a hands-on role across Italy, India, China, Norway, and Colombia.

You'll work at the heart of a business in transformation, contributing to performance cycles, compensation processes, and data analytics. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in the LEM (Legal Entity Merge) - a hands-on, career-defining experience where you'll directly shape how people and processes are built from the ground up in our Biologicals business.

What You'll Do

• Support the C&B and HR Operations workstream of the LEM, including harmonizations, process design, and operational workarounds.
• Lead and support the Global Performance Management Cycle - from system configuration and launch through to evaluation and variable pay calculation.
• Manage the Compensation Cycle end-to-end: system setup, process support, and dedicated analytics.
• Deliver C&B and labour data analytics to support fair pay principles, including a focused contribution to EU Pay Transparency Directive (PTD) compliance.
• Partner with HR and business stakeholders across multiple geographies and legal entities.

What We're Looking For

• Background in C&B, HR Operations, or HRIS, with at least 3–5 years of experience in compensation cycles, performance management, and data analytics. Experience with multi-country or multi-entity environments is a plus.
• Proficiency with SuccessFactors or similar HRIS platforms.
• Strong data and analytical skills - comfortable working with numbers, building reports, and drawing conclusions from complex datasets.
• Ability to harmonize processes across different entities and design simple, scalable solutions.
• Business-oriented mindset: you understand the 'why' behind the process.
• Fluency in both Italian and English is required.

Ways of Working

• You thrive in environments where not everything is defined yet.
• You learn fast and adapt quickly when priorities shift.
• You're energized by building things, not just running them.

Compensation

Annual Gross Salary (RAL): €40,000 - €52,000, assessed based on experience.
