Global EELC Process Lead

Opella is introducing Workday as its global Human Capital Management platform and system of record for workforce data and people processes. Workday will provide the digital backbone for the Employee End-to-End Life Cycle (EELC), connecting standardized processes, data, approvals, controls and employee experiences across Opella.

People Solutions is organized around two complementary pillars. The Workday Support Team protects platform stability, data quality, security, reporting and effective use of the global configuration.

The process scope covers the hire-to-retire lifecycle, including workforce entry, onboarding, worker and organizational data changes, job changes, mobility, leave-related worker events, and offboarding or termination. It also includes simple external workforce management, with clear governance for requesting, onboarding, maintaining and offboarding contingent workers, together with accurate assignments, documentation, access-related triggers and reporting.

This individual contributor role will strengthen and evolve the overall EELC core model rather than manage day-to-day service delivery. The role will partner closely with the Workday Support Team, the Knowledge and Employee Support Team, People & Culture, Digital and operational stakeholders to turn process design into practical, digestible content such as process maps, operating guidance, knowledge articles and decision-support materials.

Key responsibilities

Govern and design

• Define and maintain the EELC process architecture, taxonomy, global standards, process maps, management rules, controls, RACIs and decision rights.

• Act as custodian of the approved global core model and assess requests for process change, including business value, compliance, technology, data, service and employee-experience impacts.
• Maintain a prioritized process roadmap and decision log aligned with Opella’s People strategy and Workday product roadmap.

Enable through Workday and knowledge

• Translate approved process requirements into clear functional requirements and acceptance criteria for Workday configuration, security, reporting, integrations and related service tools.

• Partner with the Workday Support Team to assess defects, enhancements and releases, confirm process impacts, support testing and protect adherence to the core model.
• Partner with the Knowledge and Employee Support Team to convert process design into simple, audience-based process maps, knowledge articles, FAQs, operating guidance and decision-support content.

Process performance, compliance and improvement

Measure and improve

• Define process outcomes, KPIs and control indicators covering quality, timeliness, adoption, compliance, employee experience and operational efficiency.

• Run periodic process-health reviews with operational, Workday and knowledge teams, using data and feedback to identify root causes and improvement priorities.
• Build business cases and lead cross-functional initiatives that simplify processes, remove non-value-added steps, improve self-service and enable appropriate automation.
• Track improvement benefits, risks, dependencies and decisions, and communicate progress and unresolved issues through the relevant governance forums.

Control and compliance

• Embed global controls, segregation of duties, data-quality requirements and audit evidence into process design and documentation.

• Monitor material process deviations and recurring control issues, agree remediation owners and escalate risks that threaten compliance, data integrity or employee experience.

Stakeholder governance and change

• Chair or contribute to process governance forums, present evidence-based recommendations and secure decisions from stakeholders across functions and regions.

• Serve as the recognized subject-matter expert for the EELC core model, providing guidance on complex design questions, escalations and cross-process dependencies.
• Lead defined process workstreams or improvement projects independently, coordinating contributors, milestones, risks and outcomes without assuming line-management accountability.

Skills and Experience

· 5–8 years of experience in HR services, HR operations or global process management within a technology-driven environment, ideally using Workday or a comparable cloud HCM platform

· Demonstrated experience leading HR process and service transformations, translating business needs into practical process, technology and knowledge solutions

· Very good understanding of HR Business Partner, HR COE, HR operations model and their interactions to bring value to business

· Good understanding of Workday, payroll transitions and eager to constantly evolve the level of automation and digitalization

· Proven ability to stabilize operations after implementation or major change by strengthening governance, resolving root causes, improving controls and establishing sustainable ways of working across a multicultural organization

· Track record of simplifying complex processes, connecting technology choices with user and business needs, and delivering measurable improvements in quality, efficiency, adoption and employee experience

· Strong global process leadership profile with experience aligning stakeholders and operations across countries, regions and cultures

· Lean management mindset to deliver value to customers

· Mindset of challenging the status quo and exploring more effective ways of working through deployment of a “fail-fast and learn” culture

· Ability to build effective teams through mutual understanding of the targets in a complex and fast changing environment

· Strong problem solving and conflict management skills

· Fluent in English is a must
