Work you’ll do

As a Total Rewards Benefits Operate Manager, you will lead work at the intersection of H&W benefits strategy, administration operations, and enabling technology. You’ll help clients and internal teams translate benefits requirements into scalable platform capabilities—understanding what leading benefits administration providers can deliver, how HCM platforms connect to those ecosystems, and what it takes to drive successful implementation and ongoing operations. This will be achieved either through use of Deloitte’s proprietary BenefitIQ technology or an HCM solution as appropriate.

You’ll be accountable for delivering high-quality outcomes, managing teams and stakeholders, and shaping product-enabled solutions that improve member experience, administrative efficiency, and compliance-aligned execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead delivery workstreams supporting BenefitsIQ-enabled H&W programs (e.g., discovery, solution design, implementation support, optimization, operations readiness).
• Translate H&W benefit requirements into administration-ready designs (eligibility, enrollment, life events, evidence of insurability, deductions, billing, vendor feeds, reporting).
• Partner with product and delivery teams to define and refine platform features, configuration standards, and repeatable assets.
• Advise on end-to-end H&W administration capabilities across traditional provider platforms (e.g., enrollment experience, rules engines, eligibility, communications, carrier connectivity).
• Guide decisions on vendor/platform fit based on client context, administrative complexity, and operating model needs.
• Support operational design including SOPs, roles/responsibilities, case management, escalations, controls, and service metrics.
• Demonstrate a working understanding of core HCM concepts and integration patterns (e.g., worker/benefit event data, payroll deductions, file-based vs API, inbound/outbound feeds).
• Communicate effectively with client stakeholders (HR, Total Rewards, HRIT, Payroll, vendors) and internal leadership.
• Contribute to proposals, estimates, delivery plans, status reporting, and risk/issue management.
• Drive continuous improvement, capturing lessons learned and turning them into reusable playbooks and product backlog items.
