Job Description
About the Role
Syensqo is a science company developing groundbreaking solutions that enhance the way we live, work, travel and play. Inspired by the scientific councils which Ernest Solvay initiated in 1911, we bring great minds together to push the limits of science and innovation for the benefit of our customers, with a diverse, global team of more than 13,000 associates. Our solutions contribute to safer, cleaner, and more sustainable products found in homes, food and consumer goods, planes, cars, batteries, smart devices and health care applications. Our innovation power enables us to deliver on the ambition of a circular economy and explore breakthrough technologies that advance humanity. We seek to promote unity and not uniformity, valuing the diversity individuals bring. This position requires integrity, confidentiality, loyalty, and trustworthiness, as well as meeting company standards for vetting and reference checks. Syensqo is a newly established standalone company resulting from the recent spin-off of Solvay, with some communications still coming from Solvay during the transition.
