About The Position

Global Business Process Owner, Rewards & Benefits (People Operations Transformation Leader) Reports to Global Head of HR Operations · Troy, Michigan 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 You own the global process standard for how reward and benefits are administered and delivered, from pay actions to benefits enrollment and leave. You design it end to end with the countries, and you build a common process spine that runs in Workday while respecting the local rules that reward and benefits genuinely carry.

Requirements

Hands-on Lean process design: you value stream map the real process where the work happens, not on paper from a desk
Workshop facilitation in-country: you design in the room with local teams and leave with an agreed process and a specific change list
Deep understanding of how reward and benefits processes vary by country, and the discipline to standardize the spine without flattening what the law requires
Command of how reward, benefits, and absence are configured in a modern HR system, Workday preferred
Precision and a strong control mindset, since this domain lands directly in people's pay
A builder, steady in ambiguity, credible with local teams and senior stakeholders, comfortable on a plane across cultures
About 10+ years in reward operations, benefits, or HR process, several at global or multi-country scope.
Consulting or in-house process-design background, provided it is floor-tested: real value stream mapping in the operation, not desk theory
Carve-out, spin-off, or tenant-separation experience
Workday reward, benefits, and absence
Payroll-adjacent process experience
English language fluency.
Local resident of Metro Detroit with ability to work on site
Valid U.S. Passport with ability to travel globally (up to 70%)

Nice To Haves

Bilingual skills, a plus
A formal Lean or Six Sigma credential preferred

Responsibilities

The reward and benefits process standard: pay administration, benefits enrollment and administration, absence and leave, and the annual reward cycles as they mature
Field design: value stream mapping the real reward and benefits processes in-country, then connecting them to a common spine so each site runs one clean process within its local rules
A clear split between the common global process spine and the local variation that statute and market practice legitimately require
Compliance and controls across the reward and benefits processes, with the audit trail the work demands
The specifics the HRIS team needs to make these processes work in Workday in each country
Standard operating procedures and policy for the domain
Process performance: the KPIs that show reward and benefits run accurately, on time, and clean, since errors here are felt in the paycheck
Support the reward function as it matures, so process and design connect cleanly
You will hold a common process spine while respecting the local rules reward and benefits genuinely carry
You will value stream map the real local process, then connect it to the standard so the site runs one clean process
You will come back with specifics: what the HRIS team must change to make the process run in that country
You will treat accuracy as non-negotiable, because a reward or benefits error is felt immediately
