Benefits Specialist

Are you someone who truly enjoys helping employees navigate their benefits and supporting them through important life moments? We’re partnering with a well-established, multi-state organization to hire a Benefits Specialist who will play a key role in delivering a positive employee experience across a large, diverse workforce.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, people-focused HR team where your attention to detail, empathy, and ability to communicate clearly will make a real impact every day.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll be the go-to resource for employees and leaders on benefits and leave-related questions. You’ll balance administrative precision with a high level of employee interaction.

Key responsibilities include:

• Administer and support employee benefits programs, including open enrollment and annual renewals
• Serve as a primary point of contact for employee benefits questions—ensuring timely, clear, and supportive communication
• Manage leave of absence processes, including FMLA, and guide employees through documentation and eligibility
• Partner with leadership and managers to address employee needs across multiple locations
• Maintain and update benefit records within HRIS systems
• Support compliance efforts, including tracking regulatory changes and coordinating handbook updates
• Proactively follow up with employees to ensure they understand and elect appropriate coverage

What Makes This Role Unique

• High-impact, high-visibility role supporting a large workforce across multiple states
• Hands-on, employee-focused environment—this is not a behind-the-scenes role
• Opportunity to improve processes and enhance communication, especially around benefits and leave
• A tight-knit HR team that values collaboration, flexibility, and stepping in where needed
