Most synagogues do not have a single leader, but are run by a committee established by the congregants. In the United States, the leader of this committee is called the President. It is worth noting that the President is almost always a Lay Jew as opposed to a person with religious experience.
If the question meant to ask, who leads services within a synagogue, that would be a Rabbi and/or a Cantor. However, it would not be necessary to be a Rabbi or Cantor to actually lead services and there are some smaller congregations where members exclusively lead services.
