  • Manage leave programs, including FMLA, short- and long-term disability, ADA coordination, and other leaves of absence.
  • Partner with HRIS, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and HR teams to ensure accurate benefits administration, payroll deductions, eligibility, funding, and reporting.
  • Serve as the subject matter expert for benefits administration within the HRIS and benefits platform.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, automate administrative work, increase data accuracy, reduce costs, and improve the employee experience.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a small benefits team while establishing priorities, performance expectations, and service standards.
