WHAT YOU’LL DO The Client Liaison is a senior, client-facing role that serves as a high‐touch escalation point for employee benefit issues within a benefits administration environment. This individual is deeply embedded in the client’s benefits operations and partners closely with internal delivery teams and client stakeholders to ensure accurate, timely resolution of complex benefit inquiries. This role requires direct experience in benefits administration, including hands-on work within client-specific benefits platforms, enrollment systems, case management tools, and vendor ecosystems. The Client Liaison plays a critical role during key benefits events such as Annual Enrollment, while building trusted relationships with client contacts and internal subject matter experts. WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR (Essential Functions) Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions. Serve as the primary escalation point for complex employee benefit inquiries within a benefits administration and client services environment.

Partner with internal subject matter experts (configuration, eligibility, compliance, HSA/FSA, and vendors) to resolve system, data, and process-related benefits issues. Build and manage effective working relationships with client contacts across benefits, compliance, HR, finance, HSA/FSA, and vendor-aligned roles. Demonstrate professionalism, confidence, and sound judgment when communicating with senior leaders and executive stakeholders. Proactively anticipate client needs, follow through on escalated items, and ensure accurate, timely resolution of benefit-related issues. WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED (Required Education and Experience) Proven experience in benefits administration with direct responsibility for supporting employee benefit inquiries. Client services experience within a benefits administration environment (not general client support).
