DIRECTOR OF BENEFITS SERVICES ProService is seeking a Director of Benefits Services to lead the end-to-end execution of healthcare and voluntary benefits administration across our client base. This is an operational leadership role - youll own the departments priorities, drive them to execution, and be accountable for the quality, compliance, and client experience of everything that runs through your team. What makes this role demanding is the intersection of regulatory complexity, high transaction volume, and open enrollment seasonality - all within a fast-moving, client-centric environment where ownership and follow-through are non-negotiable. Youll be expected to lead with both urgency and care, continuously simplify operations, and build a team capable of performing at a high level year-round. IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL Translate company and departmental priorities into a focused operating plan - setting clear goals around enrollment performance, quality, and open enrollment execution, and course-correcting quickly when results fall off track Identify and eliminate root causes of inefficiency across benefits workflows, carrier integrations, payroll/HRIS handoffs, and client communications - simplifying, automating, and scaling what works Coach and develop team members through timely feedback, structured development plans, and clear performance expectations - addressing gaps early and investing in growth for high performers Own output quality by defining and enforcing standards for eligibility determinations, enrollment processing, regulatory compliance (ACA, ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA), and case documentation Run a disciplined operating rhythm - daily huddles, weekly scorecard reviews, monthly check-ins - so the team always knows exactly how theyre performing against goals Lead the integration of healthcare and voluntary benefits into a single-contact client service model, championing tool adoption and holding the team to high standards of execution IS THIS ROLE RIGHT FOR YOU? We want you to walk in with clear eyes. Heres an honest look at what this role is - and what it isnt. This is a high-accountability operational leadership role where youre measured by what your team delivers, not just what you direct. Benefits compliance - ACA, ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA - isnt background noise here; its central to the work. And open enrollment isnt just a busy season - its months of preparation culminating in execution that has to be flawless under real pressure. What this role is not is a strategy-only seat. Youll be in the work: auditing cases, inspecting quality, and personally holding the operating rhythm. Performance issues dont get deferred here - youre expected to identify and address underperformance directly and early.
