  • Serve as the primary point of contact for employees navigating benefits questions and open enrollment
  • Manage vendor relationships (Sequoia, MetLife, Anthem, Empower) and hold partners accountable to SLAs

  • Strong vendor management skills and comfort holding brokers and carriers accountable
  • Proficiency in Rippling or similar HRIS platforms
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail — you catch what others miss
