Job description

Versigent designs and delivers the systems that move power through modern technology. From vehicles to robotics to energy platforms, our electrical distribution systems enable the next generation of electrified, automated and connected products.

As a standalone company, we combine deep engineering expertise with the speed and focus needed to solve increasingly complex challenges. Our teams move quickly, think with precision and deliver at scale — helping customers do more without adding cost, weight or complexity.

What defines us is how we work: with the agility and momentum of a startup, backed by the experience and discipline of a proven global leader. That combination creates an environment where ideas move faster, ownership is real and impact is visible.

YOUR ROLE

As the Global Process Owner for Core HR Processes, you will lead the transformation and standardization of the employee lifecycle from hire to retire across a global manufacturing organization.

This role requires a Lean transformation mindset, combining process engineering, value stream design, organizational change leadership, and business acumen. You will evaluate current-state processes where work is performed, identify waste and opportunities, build compelling business cases for change, and deliver measurable improvements through standardized global processes and enabling technology.

Success requires more than defining standards. You must be able to align stakeholders, drive adoption, translate process requirements into system solutions, and ensure sustainable business outcomes across diverse operations and geographies.

Responsibilities

• Lean Process Design & Transformation
  • Lead end-to-end redesign of global hire-to-retire processes using Lean Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering principles.
  • Conduct Value Stream Mapping workshops in plants, operations, and local HR organizations to understand how work is actually performed and identify waste, variation, bottlenecks, and quality risks.
  • Design future-state processes that improve efficiency, quality, employee experience, compliance, and organizational scalability.
  • Establish global standards while minimizing local variation to only those driven by legal requirements or documented business values
• Business Case Development & Execution
  • Identify transformational improvement opportunities and develop data-driven business cases that quantify operational, financial, and organizational impact.
  • Prioritize initiatives based on business value, risk reduction, process performance, and strategic objectives.
  • Lead implementation efforts from concept through deployment, ensuring successful adoption and measurable results.
  • Drive accountability for achieving targeted improvements in process quality, cycle time, compliance, productivity, and user experience.
• Process Governance & Quality
  • Own global process governance, control frameworks, policies, and operating standards for the employee lifecycle.
  • Establish process performance metrics and KPIs to measure effectiveness, quality, adoption, and continuous improvement.
  • Ensure sustainable process execution through standard operating procedures, audit mechanisms, and structured problem-solving practices.
  • Drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions where process quality or operational performance falls below expectations.
• Workday & Process Enablement
  • Serve as the functional owner of hire-to-retire processes within Workday.
  • Translate business requirements into clear, actionable specifications for HRIS and technology teams.
  • Ensure organizational structures, process flows, controls, and data integrity are maintained within the global system of record.
  • Partner closely with HR Operations, HRIS, IT, and business leaders to optimize system-enabled process performance.
• Leadership & Influence
  • Facilitate cross-functional workshops with regional and site leaders to develop alignment and ownership of future-state processes.
  • Influence stakeholders across functions, regions, and organizational levels without direct reporting authority.
  • Champion a culture of operational excellence, continuous improvement, process discipline, and customer-focused service delivery.
  • Coach local teams and process owners on Lean methodologies, process improvement, and standard work practices.

YOUR BACKGROUND

• Proven experience leading large-scale process transformation initiatives using Lean, Continuous Improvement, Operational Excellence, or Industrial Engineering methodologies.
• Demonstrated success conducting value stream mapping and redesigning complex business processes in operational environments.
• Strong understanding of process quality, standardization, workflow optimization, root cause analysis, and change management.
• Deep expertise in the hire-to-retire lifecycle and how it is enabled within modern HR platforms.
• Experience standardizing processes across multiple countries, functions, and operational environments, preferably within manufacturing or other high-volume workforces.
• Track record of identifying opportunities, building business cases, securing stakeholder alignment, and delivering measurable business outcomes.
• Strong facilitation skills with the ability to lead workshops, influence decisions, and drive execution across global teams.
• Comfortable operating from the plant floor to executive leadership environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, Human Resources, Business, or a related field.
• Approximately 10+ years of experience in HR Operations, Global Process Ownership, Operational Excellence, Continuous Improvement, or Business Process Transformation.
• Experience establishing and sustaining global process standards in complex organizations.
• Consulting or in-house transformation experience with demonstrated hands-on process redesign and implementation success.
• Carve-out, spin-off, shared services, or enterprise transformation experience highly desirable.
• Workday experience strongly preferred, particularly Core HCM processes.
• Lean Six Sigma, Operational Excellence, Continuous Improvement, or related certification preferred.
• English fluency required; additional languages a plus.
• Metro Detroit resident with ability to work on-site.
• Valid U.S. Passport and ability to travel globally.

DELIVERABLES IN YEAR ONE

• Deliver a single global hire-to-retire process standard designed collaboratively with local operations and adopted across sites in scope.
• Complete value stream assessments and future-state process designs for priority countries and business units.
• Establish measurable process KPIs covering quality, cycle time, compliance, productivity, adoption, and user experience.
• Reduce process variation, exceptions, and workarounds through standardization and governance.
• Implement prioritized process improvements with demonstrated business value and measurable operational impact.
• Ensure country-specific variants exist only where legal requirements or validated business cases support them.
• Improve transaction quality, data integrity, and process consistency across the global organization.
• Build a continuous improvement framework that creates sustainable process excellence beyond the initial transformation effort.
