Benefits Program Manager

Required

• The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
• You've owned a US benefits program end to end, from broker and carrier renewal through open enrollment and the post-enrollment audit of every election.
• You've personally handled benefits compliance (ERISA, ACA reporting and affordability testing, COBRA, HIPAA, FMLA, Section 125) and you know exactly where your knowledge ends and benefits counsel begins.
• You've administered leave and accommodations across multiple states and kept the company compliant as state laws changed underneath you.
• You've been the primary admin of an HRIS and benefits platform (Rippling), including eligibility rules and carrier EDI feeds, and you reconcile HRIS, payroll, and carrier data in spreadsheets yourself.
• You've built benefits cost and utilization reporting, modeled renewal and contribution scenarios with Finance, and driven leadership to a decision on cost versus coverage.
• You write benefits guides and run education sessions employees actually act on, and you can point to the drop in tickets or enrollment errors that followed.
• You handle confidential health and personal data with discretion, and you build checks so a missed enrollment or payroll error never happens twice.
• Bonus: Benefits certifications (CEBS, CBP). Hypergrowth benefits builds (headcount doubling or more in a year, new states and entities). International benefits (UK, employer of record). Benefits diligence and integration for acquisitions. AI tools for benefits administration and employee support (chat-based benefits assistants).
• We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
