About The Position

Global Business Process Owner, Talent Management (People Operations Transformation Leader) is responsible for owning the global standard for how Versigent hires, onboards, builds, and plans its workforce. This role involves designing these processes end-to-end for a workforce that is mostly on the factory floor, and ensuring they are implemented practically in Workday across every site. The position requires a hands-on approach, working directly with local teams in plants and on the line to understand and map existing processes, then connecting them to the global standard to create streamlined, efficient operations. The focus is on practical, simple standards that people actually use, especially in works-council-sensitive markets. The goal is to improve hiring and onboarding speed, enhance retention in a high-volume environment, and develop talent processes that are defensible for a floor population. This role is critical for transforming people operations and ensuring a consistent, effective talent management system globally.
