Work where people strategy, HR technology & creative communication meet!  We’re looking for a Benefits Generalist with a passion for creative employee communications to join our Benefits Shared Services Team at Green Mountain Higher Education Consortium.

  • A collaborative problem-solver who thrives on building strong relationships across multiple campuses and with a variety of vendors


You’ll lead multi-channel benefits communications, design dynamic educational materials and info sessions, develop open enrollment campaigns, and ensure the employee benefits lifecycle experience runs smoothly. You’ll serve as a go-to resource for employees, candidates, and leadership across our three founding member institutions: Champlain College, Middlebury College, and St. Michael's College. 


  • Location: Hybrid (Burlington, VT office work from home) with at least bi-weekly travel to our college campuses.
  • Experience: 5 years in benefits administration or human resources. Bachelor’s degree or equivalent required, PHR or CBP is a plus! 
  • Tech: Systems-savvy. Cloud based HRIS experience. Comfort with creative design and digital communication tools.  
  • Compensation: $78,000-$90,000, comprehensive benefits
