Work you'll do

As a Total Rewards Benefits Operate Senior Consultant, you will support work by contributing to Health & Welfare (H&W) benefits administration implementations and enabling a smooth transition to ongoing operations. This role is hands-on: gathering and translating requirements, supporting solution design and testing, coordinating with integration and payroll teams, and helping drive operational readiness.

You will bring practical H&W marketplace knowledge, understand common benefits administration capabilities across traditional rewards provider platforms, and have a foundational understanding of how HCM platforms integrate with rewards programs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support end-to-end Health & Welfare (H&W) implementation activities including discovery, requirements, design support, testing preparation/execution, cutover planning support, and go-live stabilization.
• Document H&W plan rules and administration requirements (e.g., eligibility, enrollment, life events, EoI, deductions, billing, carrier/vendor feeds, reporting).
• Build and maintain key implementation artifacts (requirements traceability, decision logs, RAID logs, status updates, implementation schedules).
• Advise on end-to-end H&W administration capabilities across traditional provider platforms (e.g., enrollment experience, rules engines, eligibility, communications, carrier connectivity).
• Support operational process design (exception handling, case processes, reconciliation, member experience touchpoints).
• Assist with test planning and execution for integrations and deductions (test scenarios, test data, defect triage, results documentation).
• Help identify and escalate risks tied to data quality, timing, and payroll close dependencies
• Develop or support creation of readiness artifacts (SOP drafts, RACI inputs, escalation paths, training/job aids, service metrics).
• Support hypercare activities: issue tracking, root cause analysis support, communication to stakeholders, and documentation of fixes.
• Partner effectively with client stakeholders across Total Rewards, HR, HRIT, Payroll, Finance, and vendors.
