• Provide strategic consultative advice to clients about the design, delivery, and ongoing management of their benefit programs, working with other consultants within the team.

• Manage providers for your own client base using negotiation and influencing skills as appropriate.
• Service, consult with, and retain existing clients with a high level of service and credibility.
• Plan and organize renewals.
• Design and redesign of benefits.
• Liaise with providers and insurers for information.
• Assist with re-broking exercises and analysis and verification of providers' contract terms.
• Deal with queries from clients.

The Requirements:
