Benefits Coordinator

About the role

As a Benefits Coordinator, you'll help support employees through some of life's biggest moments by guiding them through benefits, leave requests, and important people-related processes. You'll be a go-to resource for benefits questions, helping employees feel informed, supported, and cared for. From coordinating benefits education to keeping systems and records accurate, your work will help ensure a smooth experience for employees across the company. Here's a snapshot of what you'd be doing: Supporting employees with leave and absence related tasks like time off requests, PTO donations, timesheet updates, growing family support, and other leave management needs. Serving as a friendly front-line contact for benefits questions by managing shared inboxes and helping employees find the answers and support they need. Coordinating benefits education efforts, including New Hire Orientation and outreach that helps employees better understand their available benefits. Maintaining accurate benefit eligibility tracking and partnering with vendors and Payroll to ensure employee information, deductions, and earnings stay up to date. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to help plan and execute employee-focused events like wellness screenings, open enrollment, and department events. Assisting with incoming mail like unemployment claims and verification letters, while also providing back-up support for 401k communication and education when needed. Supporting compliance processes related to evidence of insurability, domestic partner benefits, and COBRA administration. Pitching in wherever needed (excluding licensed tasks) to help foster a supportive and collaborative team culture. About You: You're great at staying organized, managing multiple priorities, and keeping tasks on track in a fast-paced environment. You're a strong communicator who knows how to connect with people clearly and professionally, both written and verbally. You handle sensitive and confidential information with maturity, discretion, and care. You adapt well to change and can shift priorities while still delivering a great employee experience. Providing exceptional customer service comes naturally to you, and you genuinely enjoy helping others. You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working closely with co-workers across teams. You show up consistently and can be counted on to get the job done. Experience in benefits or a related field is a plus, but we're also excited to train someone with the right mindset and transferable skills.
