About the role

  • We're a lean, scrappy team doing things differently - and our People team is no exception.
  • If you're the kind of person who digs into the details, thrives in ambiguity, and loves making complex programs run smoothly, let's talk.

Responsibilities

  • Manage vendor relationships (Sequoia, MetLife, Anthem, Empower) and hold partners accountable to SLAs

  • Lead open enrollment each year - planning, communications, and execution
  • Chart your own growth path as we expand

  • Experience with Empower or another 401(k) administration platform

Benefits

  • Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
  • Own all benefits programs - health, dental, vision, 401(k), leave, and wellness - from administration to compliance
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for employees navigating benefits questions and open enrollment
  • Administer multi-state leave programs, ensuring compliance across all jurisdictions where we operate
  • Partner closely with Finance on audits, 5500 filings, and benefits-related reporting
  • Drive wellness initiatives as we move toward a self-insured model
  • 5+ years of benefits administration experience, ideally at a growing company
  • Hands-on experience with level-funded or self-insured health plans - this is a must
  • Multi-state leave administration experience (FMLA, state-specific leave laws, etc.) - also a must
