Corporate Benefits Manager

Build a Benefits Function From the Ground Up

Own Something from Day One

A growing and highly reputable company in the heavy equipment sector is standing up its own corporate benefits function for the first time, and it needs someone to lead the build. This is not a maintenance role inheriting someone else's system. You will help establish a brand-new broker relationship, a new medical carrier, and a benefits program to supporta distributed workforce across multiple affiliated companies.

If you want a seatwhere your fingerprints are on the plan design conversations, the vendor relationships, and the employee experience from the start, this is that seat.

What Success Looks Like

• Within the first year, the transition from the prior benefits arrangement to the new broker-and-carrier relationship is complete, accurate, and free of major service disruptions for employees.
• Employees across the organization and its affiliates know who to call with a benefits question and trust that it will get resolved.
• Leadership has clean, reliable reporting on enrollment, cost, and utilization trends to support renewal and plan design decisions.
• You are seen as someone who can walk into a room with senior leadership, including the C-suite, and hold your own on a benefits business case.
