- Identify and implement process improvements
Benefits Administration (Approx. 20–25%)
- Administer health, dental, life, disability, and retirement programs
- Manage enrollments, life events, deductions, and vendor relationships
- Ensure accurate benefit reporting and compliance

Compensation: $85,000–$90,000, commensurate with experience.
