Benefit Services Consultant

We are looking for a Benefit Services Consultant who can navigate the full complexity of employee health benefits — not just process transactions, but genuinely guide clients through decisions that affect their workforce. This is a client-facing, consultative role that requires you to know your stuff and communicate it clearly, even when the subject matter is dense and the timeline is tight.

You'll own a book of business, serve as the primary benefits contact for your clients and their employees, and manage everything from eligibility changes and qualifying life events to annual open enrollment — across a high-volume environment where the details matter and the stakes are real.

IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL

• Serve as the primary benefits contact for assigned clients and their employees — delivering proactive, consultative support on plan strategy, compliance, employee communications, and benefits education

• Guide clients and their employees through eligibility changes and qualifying life events, explaining impacts, required documentation, and processing timelines clearly and accurately

• Facilitate and support annual open enrollment, including document audits, plan recommendations, employee education sessions, and enrollment processing

• Conduct eligibility audits across HRIS platforms, identify discrepancies, and ensure accuracy of enrollment records

• Proactively identify benefits gaps or opportunities within a client's program and recommend plan adjustments aligned with workforce needs and budget

IS THIS ROLE RIGHT FOR YOU?

This is a high-volume, client-service role where technical accuracy and clear communication are both non-negotiable. You'll be managing a real book of business — which means clients are counting on you to be responsive, knowledgeable, and on top of moving parts across multiple accounts simultaneously. Open enrollment season is demanding, and mid-year regulatory changes don't wait for a convenient moment.

Worth knowing: this isn't a back-office benefits admin role where you process requests and move on. Clients will ask hard questions, and they'll expect answers — not escalations. It's also not a slow-paced environment; speed and accuracy have to coexist here. We expect you to build trust with clients quickly and hold a high standard for follow-through.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM

Prior experience in benefits administration, consulting, or a client-service-focused HR or PEO environment is required. Strong working knowledge of healthcare benefit plans and applicable regulations (ERISA, ACA, HIPAA, COBRA) is expected coming in.

You're probably a fit if:

• You can translate complex benefits information into plain language without losing accuracy. A client asks why their employee's dependent wasn't enrolled after a qualifying life event — you walk them through the documentation requirements and next steps without needing to look it up
• You manage competing priorities without letting things fall through the cracks. During open enrollment, you're tracking deadlines across multiple clients while still responding to mid-cycle eligibility questions within the same day
• You hold yourself to a high error standard — not because someone's watching, but because the work requires it. You've caught your own mistake before it reached the client and corrected it without being asked
• You're comfortable with technology and can adapt quickly when systems or processes change. You've navigated more than one HRIS platform and figured out a new one without a formal training program
• You communicate proactively — clients hear from you before they have to chase you down. You send status updates on open items without being asked, especially when timelines shift
