• Build and maintain robust compliance frameworks, ensuring adherence to US regulatory requirements (ERISA, IRS, DOL, ACA) while reducing manual intervention and risk.
• Resolve complex or high-risk issues, while identifying root causes and driving systemic improvements to reduce recurrence.
• Act as a trusted expert across functions, influencing decisions across Payroll, Finance, and People.
• Root out inefficiencies, by finding opportunities to simplify, automate, and scale benefits operations.
• Support M&A activity and major change initiatives, ensuring effective integration of plans, vendors, and processes.

Required Skills and Experience :

• Deep expertise in US benefits operations, including self-funded health plans and retirement programs.
• Solid understanding of US regulatory environment (ERISA, COBRA, IRS, DOL, ACA, etc.).
• Proven experience managing complex vendor ecosystems and benefit technology platforms.
• Track record of owning end-to-end operations, including annual enrollment and audits.
• Ability to operate as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor across functions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and risk awareness.
• Experience supporting or leading benefits workstreams in M&A is a plus.
• Designation such as Certified Employee Benefit Specialist (CEBS) or Certified Benefits Professional (CBP) preferred.
