At our core, we believe people are our greatest asset. This role gives you the platform to shape experiences that matter—helping employees feel supported, valued, and ready to thrive. You'll work alongside a dynamic HR team that values tradition, transparency, and continuous improvement. Join us in building programs that reflect not just where we are— but where we’re headed.

• You hold a Bachelor’s degree, and you bring at least 8 years of professional experience, including 3+ years leading benefits programs—or a combination of education and real‑world know‑how that gets results.
• You've guided teams, policies, and vendors with confidence and clarity. You know what it takes to keep a program compliant and compelling.

• You’re fluent in Microsoft Office—especially Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
• Experience with HRIS systems is a plus. You understand how data drives decisions, and you're not afraid to dig in.

• Whether it’s guiding a new hire through open enrollment or reviewing plan options with senior leadership, you know how to speak the language of benefits.
• You’re clear, professional, and persuasive—on paper, in person, and over email.

• You’re comfortable with math and financial concepts like percentages, interest, contributions, and cost projections.
• You use numbers to tell a story and support smart decisions.

• You can navigate gray areas and make confident decisions when the path forward isn’t black and white.
• You bring strong analytical skills, excellent judgment, and a calm, solutions‑focused mindset.

• While this is a primarily sedentary, office‑based role, you’ll occasionally move around, lift light materials (up to 25 pounds), and attend employee events or meetings.
• We’re committed to making reasonable accommodations for all qualified individuals.

• Our office environment is quiet, professional, and set up for focus—ideal for someone who thrives in a structured space where their expertise can shine.
