  • Work closely with HRBPs and managers to ensure compliance with leave policies
  • Provide support and guidance to employees throughout the leave process

Benefits Program Compliance:

  • Stay up-to-date on federal, state, and local regulations impacting benefits
  • Conduct regular audits to ensure benefits programs comply with legal requirements
  • Collaborate with legal and compliance teams to address any issues and implement necessary changes

Program Documentation:

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date benefits-related documentation
  • Develop and update employee benefits handbooks and materials
  • Ensure all documentation is in compliance with regulatory standards

Communication:

  • Design and execute effective communication strategies for benefits programs
  • Conduct regular employee education sessions on available benefits
  • Serve as a point of contact for benefits-related inquiries and concerns

You’d be a great fit if:

  • 4-6 years in benefits administration and strategy
  • Experience in a high-growth start-up environment is a plus
  • In-depth knowledge of federal and state regulations related to employee benefits and leave policies
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Salary information is based on a single salary target per role and is differentiated based on geographic location (Group A, B, or C)
    • Group A: $130,000
    • Group B: $117,000
    • Group C: $104,000
      • Group A = NYC, SF/Bay Area, LA Area, Seattle, Boston, Austin, and San Diego
      • Group B = Chicago, Miami, Denver, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Nashville, Sacramento, Phoenix, and Portland
      • Group C = All remaining cities
  • Benefits offered include:
    • Equity compensation
    • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
    • HSA / FSA
    • 401K
    • Work-from-Home Stipend
    • Therapy Reimbursement
    • 16-week parental leave for eligible employees
    • Carrot Fertility annual reimbursement and membership
    • 13 paid holidays each year as well as a Holiday Break during the week between December 25th and December 31st
    • Flexible PTO
    • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
    • Training and professional development

We believe a team’s strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem – across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.
