Direct Hire Onsite

Salary: $100,000–$115,000 + comprehensive benefits

If you’re a sharp, strategic benefits professional who knows how to balance cost, competitiveness, and employee experience, this role puts you in the driver’s seat. Our client—a respected, people focused services organization—is seeking a Benefits Manager who can elevate their total rewards strategy and ensure employees feel supported, valued, and cared for.

• Competitive salary plus a robust benefits package you’ll be proud to manage

• A culture that values expertise, initiative, and continuous improvement

Core Responsibilities

• Oversight of health, dental, vision, disability, retirement, and wellness programs

• Vendor management, plan evaluation, renewals, and cost optimization strategies

• Compliance across ERISA, ACA, COBRA, HIPAA, and other regulatory requirements

• Employee education, communication, and support to ensure a positive benefits experience

• Data driven analysis to guide plan design, budgeting, and long term benefits planning

• Collaboration with HR leadership on total rewards, compensation alignment, and workforce planning

What You Bring

• Strong background in benefits administration or benefits management within a mid sized or large organization

• Deep understanding of compliance, plan design, and vendor relationships

• Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into strategic recommendations

• Excellent communication skills and a service oriented approach

• A proactive, solutions focused style and the confidence to lead improvements
