Joby Overview:
Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

Responsibilities:
  • Benefits Administration: Assist with end-to-end administration, ensuring strict compliance with federal and state regulations, including ERISA, ACA, HIPAA, and COBRA.
  • Open Enrollment: Support the annual open enrollment process by addressing team member inquiries, helping to schedule and host onsite meetings and benefit fairs, and coordinating communications (e.g., Slack posts, digital signage, and flyers).
  • Financial Support: Assist with benefits program financials, including invoice tracking and reconciliation.
  • Administrative Support: Manage essential administrative tasks, including but not limited to medical support notices, maintaining the Benefits SharePoint site, and handling state workers’ compensation and disability filings.
  • Compliance & Audits: Support key compliance activities such as Nondiscrimination Testing (NDT), 401(k) deposit reconciliations, and HSA account verifications.
Required:
  • Experience: 2–5 years of experience in benefits administration, HR, or a related field.
  • Technical Skills: Intermediate Excel/Google Sheet proficiency, including the ability to use XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, and Pivot Tables.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Organization: Highly detail-oriented and organized, with a proven ability to manage multiple competing tasks simultaneously. Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and/or start-up experience.
  • Collaboration: Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Some understanding of relevant employment laws and benefits regulations.
Desired:
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field.
